CORRECTED 2026-08-14: this edge said the material was not held, and it is - as '104864-90-6' (CAS 104864-90-6). The gap was in the LOOKUP, not the catalogue: we store this molecule under its systematic or registry name, the edge was authored against the trade name, and nothing matched. Supplier catalogues published the CAS and PubChem confirmed it (CID 16063533). Previously: A sandalwood captive we do not hold. The material that would realise this note is Firsantol; we do not hold it, so this edge names the gap rather than
Firsantol is a synthetic molecule developed through organic chemistry, specifically designed to mimic and enhance the desirable creamy aspects of sandalwood. It is not derived from natural sandalwood but is produced in laboratories for use in perfumery. Its creation helps reduce reliance on endangered sandalwood resources.
Usage in Perfumery
Perfumers use Firsantol primarily as a base note to impart longevity, warmth, and a modern sandalwood signature to fragrances. It blends well with other woody, floral, and musky notes, and is often used to round out or soften compositions. Its stability and smooth profile make it a preferred choice in both fine fragrance and functional perfumery.
