Javanol (Givaudan)

Javanol is a cutting-edge synthetic sandalwood molecule developed by Givaudan, designed to replicate and enhance the qualities of natural sandalwood oil.

It offers a rich, creamy, and woody scent profile with subtle rosy nuances, closely resembling the aroma of β-santalol, the primary component of natural sandalwood.

Javanol stands out as a powerful and stable alternative to natural sandalwood oil, offering perfumers a sustainable and effective option for creating woody and creamy fragrance profiles.

It is widely used in modern perfumery to impart a natural sandalwood character.

Its versatility allows it to blend seamlessly with floral, musky, and spicy accords, enhancing the overall depth and richness of fragrances.

Notably, it has been utilised in perfumes such as Calvin Klein’s Truth for Men and Carolina Herrera’s Chic for Men.

Powerful and substantive; Javanol is extremely effective at very low concentrations (below 0.1%), making it a potent ingredient in various fragrance formulations.
