About this material
Dartanol is the highest quality Laevo form of Bacdanol. It is the same chemical but the purest and finest version. It can be used one for one in place of Bacdanol for a richer and more cosmetic result. Blends of Dartanol with Polysantol and Firsantol are supreme but significantly more Dartanol can be used in a fragrance because a) it is not restricted by IFRA, and b) it is less powerful than the others. But despite that, you should not be fooled into thinking Dartanol is not a powerful and rich sandalwood chemical. It is, in fact, one of the finest substitutes for natural sandalwood in chemical form and a simple combination of Dartanol with Ebanol is a truly classic combo. Perfumery: Techniq… — Fraterworks
