About this material
Ebanol is an intense and very powerful Sandalwood odourant; much stronger than natural Sandalwood oil with a scent profile comparable to that of Javanol, making it a more cost effective alternative.
Good performance in fragrance, soap, detergents, toiletries and candles. Can be found in popular fragrances such as Escape, Egoiste, Dolce Vita, Elysium, Red Jeans and XS.
Givaudan describe this as a very rich, natural sandalwood odour. It is powerful and intense, bringing volume and elegance to woody accords and a diffusive sandalwood effect to compositions. Highly substantive on all supports.
Store cool and keep in well sealed containers or diluted in ethanol as soon as possible to preserve quality.

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.

This is a must paired with Sandalore. Read my review on the Sandalore and you will get a idea on why I said paired with. Must have for you Sandalwood lovers.

This sandalwood material is smooth and lovely. It has slight musky tones to it. After testing I decided for. My purpose that id blend others with it to build up a more complex sandalwood aroma. I have heard that once opened that you have to dilute it with ethanol or your chosen dilution. And then to keep it cool.
