About Javanol
Javanol is a synthetic fragrance material developed to reproduce the scent of sandalwood. Compared to natural sandalwood oil, it is more powerful and diffusive, with a creamy, milky woody note. It has very high tenacity and adds depth and warmth to a fragrance even in small amounts.
Scent Profile
The scent of Javanol is centered on a smooth, creamy sandalwood-like note. It is milky, slightly sweet, and forms a soft woody accord. Compared to natural sandalwood, it is cleaner and more transparent, without heaviness. It persists consistently from top to base and blends well with other materials.
Use in Perfumery
Javanol is primarily used as a base note, providing longevity and depth to fragrances. It suits a wide range of accords, including woody, oriental, and floral, and is essential for modern sandalwood recreations. Because it is effective in small doses, care must be taken not to overdose, as the scent can become overpowering. It is used as an alternative to natural sandalwood and to exploit its unique creamy texture.
