White Sandalwood Cut (Santalum album)
White Sandalwood Cut (Santalum album) is one of the most treasured aromatic woods in natural perfumery. Prized for its smooth, creamy woody aroma, sandalwood has long been valued by perfumers for the softness, warmth and depth it can bring to a fragrance composition.
Its scent is soft, woody, creamy and gently balsamic, with a subtle sweetness that develops beautifully in tinctures, macerations and incense blends. As a classic base note and fixative material, sandalwood can help anchor more volatile notes while contributing its own quiet elegance and rounded warmth.
