Here are some ways you can use Santaliff in a perfume composition:

Base Note : Santaliff is often used as a base note in perfumes because of its long lasting and stable scent. It adds a warm, woody and creamy undertone to the fragrance composition.

Pairings : It blends well with other woody notes, such as cedar and vetiver, as well as with floral and spicy notes. This makes it a versatile ingredient that can be used in various fragrance compositions.
