Product Description
Sandalore is a synthetic fragrance ingredient known for its sandalwood-like olfactory character. Registered under CAS number 65113-99-7, it has the molecular formula C₁₄H₂₆O and a molecular weight of approximately 210.36 g/mol. Its chemical structure includes a cyclopentene ring, several methyl substituents, and a hydroxyl-containing side chain. These structural features distinguish it from natural sandalwood oil, which is a complex mixture of naturally occurring aromatic constituents.
In perfumery, Sandalore is used to introduce a smooth woody note into fragrance compositions. Depending on the surrounding ingredients and the proportions used, it can contribute warmth and a rounded sandalwood impression without relying exclusively on natural wood-derived materials. Perfumers can evaluate it as part of a fragrance accord, adjusting its contribution to suit the desired balance between woody, floral, amber, and other aromatic facets.
The ingredient is also relevant to fragrance development for personal care and household products. It may be assessed for use in soaps, shampoos, body washes, lotions, and home-fragrance formulations when the product's intended application and applicable safety requirements permit. Its performance can differ across product bases because surfactants, solvents, pH, temperature, and other fragrance ingredients may affect odor perception and stability.
Sandalore should be evaluated as an individual fragrance ingredient rather than treated as interchangeable with sandalwood essential oil or other materials that share a woody odor profile. Odor strength, persistence, and overall blending behavior depend on the fragrance composition and the finished product matrix. Stability and sensory performance should therefore be checked in the intended formulation.
For purchasing and quality control, confirm the identity against CAS 65113-99-7 and review the actual grade, assay, appearance, odor profile, and relevant impurity information. The supplied material's physical form and storage requirements should be taken from its current technical documentation. For commercial fragrance applications, verify the applicable use restrictions and safety requirements for the product category and destination market.

Product Applications
1. Fine Fragrance Formulation
Sandalore can be used to develop woody fragrance accords with a sandalwood-like character. Its contribution should be assessed in the complete perfume composition, where concentration and interactions with other aromatic ingredients influence the final scent.
2. Personal Care Fragrances
The ingredient may be evaluated in fragrance systems for lotions, shampoos, body washes, and similar personal care products. Compatibility, odor stability, and suitability for the intended product category should be confirmed before commercial use.
3. Soap and Cleansing Product Fragrance
Sandalore can be considered when developing woody fragrance profiles for soaps and cleansing products. Testing should account for the surfactant system, processing conditions, and any changes in odor during storage.
4. Household and Air-Care Fragrance
Selected household fragrance products may use Sandalore to introduce a warm woody note. Its performance should be evaluated in the relevant delivery system, including room sprays, fragranced liquids, or other suitable formats.
5. Fragrance Accord Development
Perfumers and fragrance researchers can evaluate Sandalore as one component of a broader scent structure. Comparative sensory trials can help establish its appropriate role and level within woody, floral, amber, or other blended accords.
FAQ
Q1: What is Sandalore CAS 65113-99-7?
Sandalore is a synthetic fragrance ingredient with a sandalwood-like odor profile. Its molecular formula is C₁₄H₂₆O, and its molecular weight is approximately 210.36 g/mol.
Q2: Is Sandalore the same as natural sandalwood oil?
No. Sandalore is a defined chemical compound, whereas natural sandalwood oil is a mixture of multiple constituents. They should not be treated as chemically identical materials.
