Santamanol™

About Santamanol™

Santamanol™ is a sandalwood-type aroma material exclusive to the French fragrance house MANE. A perfumer working with MANE has described it as one of the house's own molecules, used together with other MANE materials to build warm sandalwood and musk accords in finished fragrances.

Scent Profile

The character is a **gentle, natural-feeling sandalwood** with a soft woody character. It carries a creamy woody warmth that stays close to the skin for a long time. The design leans toward a smooth, believable wood impression with a smooth texture, while still delivering the body and tenacity of a modern captive.

Use in Perfumery

Santamanol™ sits in the base of a composition, where its role is to extend the sandalwood signature of a formula and give it durable sillage. It blends well with musks, resins, and amber materials, and it often works as a warm foundation under tea accords, spice themes, and softer florals. Rather than carrying a full sandalwood on its own, it tends to be layered with other woods and resins to build a rounded, long-lasting base that keeps the overall impression close to a natural, skin-warm sandalwood.
