Natural sandalwood materials and reconstructed sandalwood effects are not interchangeable. Perfumers can use several approaches to suggest a smooth woody impression.

Sandalwood ideas frequently support florals, spices and musks. They may appear as a gentle background or become the main personality of a fragrance.

Compare a dry sandalwood interpretation with a more milky one. The note name alone cannot establish the actual ingredients or how a finished fragrance will feel.

A named material or scent impression does not guarantee any particular ingredient is present. Explore the character of the whole fragrance rather than making assumptions from one note.
