Chinese name: 檀香210
English name: Sandasweet (Sandalore of Givaudan)
CAS No.: 65113-99-7
Key Characteristics
The most prominent feature of sandalore is its strong, dry, and deeply concentrated woody note. It lacks the pronounced creamy sweetness of bacdanol, but offers a more realistic, solid, and profound sandalwood foundation, accompanied by a subtle animalic (leather-like) and musky nuance that enhances complexity and penetration.

Its odor strength is very high, with better diffusion than bacdanol, easily filling a space. At the same time, it exhibits excellent longevity and functions as an effective fixative, extending the fragrance longevity.
Sandalore is prized for its ability to strengthen the woody base of a composition.
Structural support: Provides a firm and robust foundation for floral, fruity, and citrus notes, preventing them from feeling insubstantial.
Texture enhancement: When paired with leather, tobacco, patchouli, or vetiver, it markedly intensifies dryness, richness, and depth.
Synergistic blending: Blending with bacdanol is a classic industry practice, allowing each to complement the other and produce a layered sandalwood profile balancing creaminess and dryness.
Like bacdanol, sandalore is chemically stable across various application systems (including soaps), with minimal discoloration or degradation, making it broadly applicable.
Primary Applications
Backbone of men’s fragrances: Commonly used in fougère, woody, and chypre/leather perfumes, offering a masculine, dry, and long-lasting woody foundation.
An enhancer in women’s fragrances: Adds depth and strength in oriental or chypre women’s fragrances.
Enhancing overall diffusion: Often used to enhance diffusion in the top and middle stages of a fragrance because of its strong scent profile.

High-end soaps, shampoos, and shower gels: Delivers a powerful and long-lasting woody experience.
Aftershave and grooming products: Its dry, woody, and leathery nuances are highly suitable for male grooming applications.
When used in laundry detergents and fabric softeners, it imparts a strong sense of cleanliness and lasting scent.
When employed in premium candles and interior diffusers, it creates a warm, steady, and strong atmospheric effect.
Usage Recommendations and Precautions
Dosage: Because of its high intensity, the dosage in finished fragrances is typically lower than sandacanol. A dosage of 0.5% to 5% is sufficient to achieve a noticeable effect. Excessive use may overpower and suppress other notes.
Safety: Sandasweet is safe for use under IFRA standards.

- Classic blend: When blended with sandacanol in ratios such as 3:7 or 2:8 (sandasweet:sandacanol), it produces a “golden standard” sandalwood base combining creamy sweetness, dry woodiness, intensity, and longevity—widely used in soap fragrances and fine perfumes.
- Constructing masculine fragrance frameworks: When combined with lavender, coumarin, and oakmoss extract (or substitutes), it forms the structure of the modern fougère accord.
- Enhancing oriental accords: When paired with patchouli, vanilla, and amber, it reinforces warmth and depth.
- Creating leather accords: When blended with birch tar oil, castoreum notes, and tobacco nuances.
