A soft, creamy sandalwood-adjacent material with a mildly fruity-estery lift from the propionate. Smells like a slightly sweetened, rounded sandalwood — less milky than santalol itself, with a faint pear-like nuance on top and a warm woody drydown.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Almost colorless, slightly viscous liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Mild and delicately fruity-woody, tenacious odor, free from the medicinal character of Sandalwood oil. Milder and rounder than the Acetate.

Uses in perfumery

It may find some use in exotic or floral bases, or it may support the delicately woody undertones in a Muguet or Chypre, but it is generally unknown and very rarely offered commercially.

Production

Produced by azeotropic esterification of Santalol with Propionic acid. It has also been prepared from Santalol with Propionic anhydride.
