Description

Polysantol, also known as Nirvanol, is a powerful modern sandalwood aroma chemical valued for its rich, creamy and long-lasting character. It provides a smooth combination of sandalwood, creamy, milky, woody, warm and slightly sweet facets.

It is particularly useful for creating a strong and contemporary sandalwood effect without relying solely on natural sandalwood materials. Its excellent tenacity makes it an important ingredient for building long-lasting woody bases.

In perfumery, Polysantol is widely used in sandalwood, woody, creamy, oriental, amber and modern unisex compositions. It can also add richness and depth to floral fragrances and help create a smooth, luxurious drydown.

Perfumers' Tip

Polysantol is excellent for creating a rich, creamy and powerful sandalwood base. Combine it with Sandalore or Bacdanol for a fuller sandalwood accord, or use Javanol and Ebanol to add greater radiance and modernity. Iso E Super can provide woody diffusion, while Ambroxan and white musks help extend the smooth, luxurious drydown.
