Hindinol

About this material

Hindinol is one of the most beautiful and radiant of the sandalwood aroma chemicals and somewhat unique in being something of a top note material. Perfumery: Techniques In Evolution speaks highly of the product: “This is […] one of the best sandalwood chemicals, as captivating as as it is extraordinary[.] Most sandalwood chemicals lack a natural top note and we perfumers need to create it; however, when using Hindinol, the natural top note appears and this top note is a dream come true.” While a number of suppliers make this product, the Takasago quality is the nicest and that is what we stock. — Fraterworks
