EBANOL (SANDALWOOD)

Ebanol is a fragrance material in Givaudan’s palette that gives a rich sandalwood impression with a musky facet. Its woody character has presence and volume: it can help a sandalwood accord feel fuller and spread through a composition. This is a manufactured aroma material, distinct from sandalwood essential oil distilled from wood. A natural-smelling result does not make the material a botanical extract.

Givaudan describes Ebanol as powerful and persistent as a raw material. In a finished perfume, however, its prominence depends on how much is used and what surrounds it. It may support a softer woody background or help build a more assertive sandalwood theme. The name does not imply smoke, amber or a particular species of sandalwood, nor does it predict the wear time of the complete fragrance.
