Ebanol (Givaudan)

Ebanol® (Givaudan) is a modern fragrance ingredient valued in perfumery for its rich, smooth sandalwood character. Its scent profile is typically described as creamy, warm, and softly woody, closely resembling natural sandalwood, with subtle milky and slightly balsamic nuances that add depth and elegance to fragrance compositions.

The material usually appears as a clear to pale liquid with moderate viscosity, and is appreciated for its excellent substantivity and long-lasting woody presence in fragrance formulations. Its character is soft yet powerful, creating a smooth woody foundation that enhances the body and warmth of a perfume.

In practical perfumery, Ebanol® is frequently used to build modern sandalwood accords, while also contributing creaminess, depth, and lasting diffusion to the base of a composition. It blends particularly well with sandalwood materials, musks, amber notes, patchouli, and soft floral ingredients, making it a valuable component in woody, amber, oriental, and modern elegant fragrance structures.
