Sandalore aka. Sandal Pentanol Aroma Chemical
CAS# 65113-99-7

Sandalore is one of the most outstanding achievements of fragrance chemistry, offering a highly valuable commercial solution as an ideal substitute for increasingly scarce natural sandalwood resources. Developed by scientists at Givaudan in the late 1970s, this synthetic compound quickly became an invaluable asset for manufacturers. Physically, it is a clear, slightly viscous liquid, distinguished by a rich sandalwood profile that is intensely creamy, sweet, and milky. Choosing to include Sandalore in a production raw material portfolio is not only a smart way to optimize cost, but also a means of ensuring absolute consistency and stability in quality from batch to batch.

Description

From an olfactory perspective, Sandalore clearly expresses the strength of a dominant woody note, shining with lasting power in the drydown. In a formula, this material serves both as an excellent fixative that extends the life of the fragrance and as a modifier that smooths and rounds out accompanying white floral or spicy notes. One of the most classic blending techniques for creating an irresistibly attractive effect is combining Sandalore with Ebanol, producing a multidimensional sandalwood structure that is both powerfully diffusive and wrapped in an extremely pleasing creamy base. Although it has impressive odor strength, this material is very easy to handle when diluted in safe solvents such as DPG or TEC at concentrations of 10% to 50%, allowing perfumers to dose it more precisely and fully exploit its performance. From the standpoint of specialist literature, although Sandalore was introduced after the publication of Steffen Arctander’s 1969 reference books, its character fits perfectly with the profile of the ideal sandalwood replacer he was always seeking: sweet, warm, and exceptionally long-lasting.

Applications

Sandalore has remarkably broad application potential, fully meeting the needs of products ranging from fine fragrance and scented candles to rinse-off cosmetics such as soap and shower gel. Thanks to its excellent stability in alkaline environments, it is an indispensable choice for creating soap bases with lasting scent retention. Moreover, with flexible recommended usage levels from 1% to 10% under IFRA standards and with no phototoxicity concerns, manufacturers can confidently create products with a high level of consumer safety. The quiet yet powerful presence of Sandalore-type molecules in many globally renowned perfumes has confirmed the undeniable appeal of this material. Investing in Sandalore is a key to unlocking compelling olfactory experiences, helping brands win over customers more easily and strongly support purchase decisions.
