About

A synthetic sandalwood-type fragrance alcohol. Class has some regulatory scrutiny; trace use keeps exposure low but public data are limited.

Pentamethylcyclohexanepropanol (CAS 60241-53-4) is a synthetic sandalwood-type woody fragrance alcohol used as a substitute for natural sandalwood oil. Synthetic sandalwood odorants (the Sandalore / Ebanol family) have received scientific scrutiny for potential endocrine effects in isolated studies; at trace perfumery levels these concerns are not established as safety issues. IFRA and RIFM govern industry use; not listed on EU Annex II.
