The information here describes the ingredient in general. Its possible sources may vary and do not necessarily show the origin or form used in a particular YUMA product. For product-specific information, check the relevant product page.
Description
Sandela is a synthetic ingredient used primarily to recreate woody notes, specifically sandalwood simulations, in perfumery. To achieve a more versatile fragrance profile, it is often paired with Sandalore. When formulating fragrances, Sandela is typically premixed at an 85% concentration in Isopropyl Myristate before further dilution in alcohol. Compared to similar synthetics, Sandela features a milder intensity than Bacdanol and a milkier texture than Sandalore.
Additional information
The development of synthetic sandalwood alternatives such as Sandela arose in response to harvesting restrictions on natural sandalwood, contributing significantly to the conservation of natural resources.
Sandalwood is a historical perfumery ingredient spanning thousands of years, with usage dating back to the ancient civilizations of India and Egypt. Synthetic analogues like Sandela allow this tradition to continue sustainably.
The chemical innovation behind ingredients like Sandela is a notable achievement, as chemists successfully recreated the complex woody notes of natural sandalwood using synthetic molecules that mimic the characteristic creamy, milky, and woody feel of the natural material.
