JAVANOL

Javanol is a Givaudan fragrance molecule with a rich sandalwood character, creamy texture and a rosy nuance. Its woody warmth can also feel radiant rather than dense. A grapefruit-like brightness is another interpretation described by perfumer Geza Schoen, helping explain why a sandalwood-inspired note can have a lively, spacious edge.

This is a manufactured aroma material, distinct from the complex essential oil extracted from sandalwood trees. Its character can enrich a woody accord or connect creamy wood with flowers. Because it is a potent material, a small amount may have a noticeable effect, yet the quantity and surrounding ingredients shape the result. Javanol in a note list does not tell you the dose or guarantee a particular wear time. Look for the interplay of smooth wood and rosy brightness when exploring its different fragrance interpretations.
