    man-made compound mimicking natural sandalwood scent

    A synthetic sandalwood odorant is a man-made chemical compound designed to mimic the scent of natural sandalwood, a prized fragrance derived from the heartwood of sandalwood trees. These synthetic versions are often used in perfumes, cosmetics, and aromatherapy products to provide a consistent and sustainable alternative to natural sandalwood, which is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
