Bacdanol is a modern synthetic sandalwood aroma chemical known for its soft, creamy, milky-woody scent. Compared to traditional sandalwood notes, Bacdanol is smoother, cleaner, and longer-lasting, with excellent tenacity and fixative power. It is commonly used to build modern woody bases, skin-scent perfumes, and soft floral woods.

Its non-harsh, velvety profile makes it ideal for luxury niche perfumery, where sandalwood is desired without the sharpness of synthetics like javanol or polysantol.
