Please note
This is not a perfume. It is a highly concentrated fragrance oil designed for crafting end products such as candles, diffusers, perfumes, soaps, and other personal care items. Do not apply directly to the skin. All our fragrance oils are measured in grams, not milliliters. Bottle fill levels may vary due to differences in oil density, which affects volume.
This material is supplied as a raw ingredient. Full compositional and allergen information is provided in the SDS and Allergen Declaration documents found in the “Related Documents” tab. Compliance of the final product remains the responsibility of the manufacturer.
Behavioral Profile
- Diffusion: Medium, soft and enveloping
- Texture: Creamy woods with warm musky smoothness
- Opening Impression: Cardamom spice, soft florals, and warm dry woods
- Structure: Gentle aromatic opening settling into creamy sandalwood warmth
- Character: Relaxing, elegant and quietly sensual
Sandalwood Fragrance Oil is built around a dense creamy sandalwood accord softened by warm musks, balsamic woods, and subtle spice facets. Sandela, Benzyl Benzoate, cedar materials, and smooth amber-musks create a polished woody body with excellent softness and persistence, while black pepper, cardamom, and delicate floral notes keep the composition airy and refined rather than overly heavy. The result is a calming woody fragrance with velvety warmth, elegant diffusion, and a distinctly meditative sandalwood character.

Discoloration Potential: Light
Thanks to the dominance of highly stable esters and fixatives in Sandalwood Fragrance Oil, discoloration is minimal, limited to slow and gentle yellowing over very long periods despite the presence of minor terpenes.
- Minor yellowing may gradually occur over time, especially under heat, light, or air exposure, but no major visual instability should be expected.
- Excellent for pale, creamy, or beige-toned products where a soft golden maturation won’t disrupt the aesthetics.
- Cool, dark, airtight storage remains ideal to maximize product longevity.
Application Compatibility
This fragrance is oil-soluble and designed for use in oil-based and alcohol-based formulations. It does not mix directly with water-based systems without the use of an appropriate solubilizer.
Storage
Store in a cool, dark, and airtight environment to preserve stability and minimize oxidation over time.
Usage & Performance
Fragrance performance varies depending on the base, formulation, and production conditions. Cold throw, hot throw, diffusion strength, and longevity are influenced by the materials used and the manufacturing process.
A typical development process involves:
- Initial scent evaluation (10g sample)
- Small batch testing (e.g. 50g scale)
- Full-scale production once performance is validated
Testing under your specific conditions is standard practice in product development. Evaluation at each stage is required prior to scaling.
Recommended usage guidelines
- Candles: 7%-12%
- Reed diffusers: 15%-25%
- Personal perfumes: 10%-15%

I didn’t expect this kind of scent profile because i have never smelled pure sandalwood before. It is a lot greener and fresher than expected, but an amazing scent. Used in personal perfumes for a grounded but luxurious scent profile.
Mihai Lita (verified owner) –
Perfect scent and one of my favorite. I like it very much.

Este un parfum unisex, înclinând poate ușor spre latura masculină datorită piperului și santalului, dar Plumeria și moscul îl fac foarte purtabil și pentru femei. Un parfum pentru toamna și iarna, sau în seri răcoroase. Este un parfum “de proximitate”, ideal pentru momentele când vrei să pari sofisticat, dar primitor.
