2-Ethyl-4-(2,2,3-Trimethyl-3-Cyclopenten-1-yl)-2-Buten-1-ol

Javanol is a synthetic sandalwood aroma chemical developed as a high-performance alternative to natural sandalwood (Santalum album) oil, which is endangered and subject to strict trade restrictions. It delivers a rich, creamy, woody-sandalwood scent profile with excellent tenacity and diffusion, making it highly valued in fine fragrance and personal care formulations. Formulators choose Javanol for its ability to replicate the warm, milky, balsamic nuances of East Indian sandalwood while offering a more sustainable, consistent, and cost-effective supply compared to natural sandalwood extracts.
