Santalol is widely used in the fragrance industry due to its rich, woody, and balsamic aroma. It is a key component in perfumes, soaps, lotions, and cosmetics, where it acts as a fixative to prolong the scent. Its calming scent makes it popular in aromatherapy and essential oil blends for stress relief and relaxation. Santalol is also used in incense and room diffusers for its long-lasting fragrance. In addition, it has mild antimicrobial properties, which support its use in natural preservatives and skincare formulations.
