Description

IBCH, commonly associated with names such as Sandella, Sandela, Santalex T and Indisan, is a versatile sandalwood-type aroma chemical valued for its smooth, woody and long-lasting character.

Its odor profile features creamy sandalwood, dry woody, warm, slightly powdery and soft balsamic facets, making it highly useful for creating modern sandalwood effects. It can provide a rich woody foundation while adding smoothness and depth to the fragrance.

In perfumery, IBCH is particularly useful in sandalwood, woody, amber, oriental, floral-woody and musk-woody compositions. Its substantive character also makes it valuable for extending the woody impression into the drydown.

Perfumers' Tip

IBCH is excellent for building a smooth, creamy and persistent sandalwood base. Combine it with Sandalore and Bacdanol for a rounded sandalwood accord, or add Javanol in controlled amounts for a stronger modern sandalwood impact. Iso E Super can increase diffusion, while Ambroxan adds a warm woody-amber dimension. Vanillin and white musks can further soften the drydown.
