Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.Woods in daylight
With bergamot and a crisp citrus openingExplore a spare wood structure with citrus providing the opening contrast. Compare a brighter version with the wood reference and follow how the outline changes, keeping the later impression as important as the first moment.
A softer grain
With sandalwood and a musk directionSet the woody material beside a softer wood reference, then compare a restrained musk variation. Decide whether your concept needs creamy texture, dry definition or more space between its parts before expanding the accord.
Petals on timber
With rose and a clear floral accordTry a flower-and-wood study in which both subjects remain recognisable. Compare the floral reference with the woody variation through the evaluation, noting whether the wood forms a useful backdrop or becomes the centre of the idea.

A really nice sandalwood type material. Perfume extract has the best quality Bacdanol,
Anis Dadou –
This along with Sandela being essential base components for sandalwood fragrances, due in part to their IFRA allowances, and also that they are much more mild than say Polysantol (though that does not pretend to be as usable by itself). A long lasting, mild sandalwood note

Very nice indeed. I will be ordering a larger version of this. Quite sandalwoody but great when blended with other sandalwood aroma chemicals
