Description :
Beta-Santalene is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene found in sandalwood oil and other aromatic plants. It has a warm, woody, and creamy aroma, making it a valuable ingredient in the fragrance and cosmetic industries. Its molecular formula is C15H24, and it appears as a colourless to pale yellow liquid with excellent blending properties.
Beta-Santalene contributes to the depth and richness of woody fragrances, and due to its stability and fixative properties, it enhances both fragrance longevity and diffusion in perfumes, soaps, and personal care products.
Imparts smooth, woody, and slightly creamy notes in perfumes, colognes, and incense.
Blends effectively with aroma chemicals like Alpha-Ambrinol, Ambrettolide, and Cedryl Acetate to create sophisticated woody-musky accords.
Acts as a fixative to help stabilise top and middle notes in fragrance compositions.
Commonly used in oriental, chypre, and amber fragrance families.
Enhances fragrance profiles in soaps, lotions, deodorants, and hair care products.
Adds a natural woody warmth to creams and perfumes, improving sensory experience.
Serves as a natural or synthetic intermediate for other aroma chemicals.
Applied in research and development for new fragrance molecules and formulations.
Store in a cool, dry, and ventilated area, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Avoid direct skin contact; use gloves and goggles when handling.
Keep containers tightly sealed to preserve fragrance quality and prevent oxidation.
