A dry, slightly camphoraceous woody note with earthy, rooty facets reminiscent of sandalwood and vetiver undertones. Santenone contributes a subtle warm-woody character with a faint fresh-terpenic edge, useful as a diffusive booster in woody accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

White or colorless, crystalline mass, or granular crystals.

Odor

Sweet-camphoraceous, diffusive odor. In dilution quite pleasant, not as 'medicinal' as Camphor, not 'piney' as Camphene, but rather warm and balsamic.

Uses in perfumery

As a modifier in Lavandin and other herbaceous oils, and as a new material for modern Pine fragrances.

Production

1) by isolation from Sandalwood oil (laevo-form only). 2) by oxidation of Santene with Chromic acid. 3) from Camphenilone. 4) by oxidation of Nor-borneol.
