Description

Alpha-santalene is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene found in sandalwood oil. It is a colorless liquid with a woody, sweet scent. Alpha-santalene is a major component of sandalwood oil, which is used in perfumes, cosmetics, and aromatherapy. It is also used as a fixative in perfumes, meaning that it helps to hold the other fragrance notes together. Alpha-santalene is known for its calming and relaxing effects. It is also believed to have antibacterial and antifungal properties. Research on alpha-santalene focuses on its potential applications in medicine, cosmetics, and other industries.'
