History

Javanol is one of the most powerful synthetic sandalwood molecules, developed by Givaudan in the late 1990s. It has two cyclopropane rings, quite unlike the natural santalol skeleton, yet smells very close.

Synthetic sandalwoods such as Javanol emerged as Indian sandalwood (Santalum album) became increasingly scarce.

In perfumery

Javanol is used at very low levels to create a creamy sandalwood base, often combined with other synthetic sandalwoods for a complete profile.
