Sandela, also known as Indisan, is a synthetic fragrance compound characterized by its woody and oriental qualities, reminiscent of natural sandalwood. Its chemical structure, featuring a bicyclic framework, contributes to its unique scent profile, which is often described as warm and creamy. In perfumery, Sandela is typically used as a fixative, helping to stabilize and prolong the longevity of fragrance compositions. It can be found in a variety of fragrance types, particularly in oriental and woody accords, where it enhances depth and richness. While Sandela is valued for its olfactory properties, it is important to consider safety and regulatory aspects when formulating with this ingredient. As with many synthetic compounds, it is advisable to review any relevant IFRA guidelines and safety data to ensure compliance with industry standards. Overall, Sandela serves as a versatile ingredient that can add complexity to fragrance formulations. — AI-generated summary, 2026-09-02.
