Cedrol

Santolol, also known as Cedrol, is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene alcohol found in the wood of cedar trees, such as Cedrus and Juniperus species. It has a woody, slightly sweet scent and is used for its fixative properties in perfumery, helping to stabilize the volatility of other components. It imparts a classic cedarwood note to fragrances.

Used as a fixative in perfumes to provide a woody, cedarwood scent. It is found in a variety of fragrance types, contributing to the depth and longevity of woody notes.
