Визначення

Charred sandalwood, smoky-sweet, with a burnt-creamy depth. Choya ral is sandalwood pushed through fire -- the sweetness blackened, the creaminess carbonised, leaving smoke and memory.

Запах

Smoky, charred, with a ghostly sandalwood creaminess underneath the carbon. Darker than smoked vetiver, less tarry than birch tar, with the particular sweet undertone that identifies its sandalwood origin. Guaiacol provides the primary smoke; the residual santalol provides the sweetness. The combination is paradoxical: cremated tenderness.

Докладно

Choya ral is produced by destructive (dry) distillation of sandalwood (Santalum album) in the traditional Indian attar method. Unlike steam distillation, which preserves sandalwood's creamy santalol character, dry distillation pyrolyses the wood, breaking it down into smoky, phenolic, and tarry fragments fundamentally different from sandalwood oil.

The resulting oil contains guaiacol (smoky), cresols (animalic-phenolic), furfural (burnt-sweet), and residual traces of santalol (the ghost of the original creamy sandalwood). The overall impression is of sandalwood that has been cremated -- the sweetness surviving only as a charred echo underneath the smoke.

In perfumery, choya ral provides a unique smoky-creamy base note unavailable from any other single material. It bridges sandalwood and birch tar territories. The note works in smoky ambers, incense compositions, and dark-wood constructions where standard sandalwood would be too gentle.

Отримання й хімія

Спосіб отримання

Destructive (dry) distillation of Santalum album heartwood in a sealed copper vessel. The pyrolysis smoke is condensed and often collected into a base oil (sandalwood, or sometimes vetiver). The process is part of the traditional Indian attar-making tradition.

У парфумерії

Choya ral is a smoky-creamy base note produced by destructive distillation of sandalwood. It contains guaiacol, cresols, furfural, and residual santalol traces. The note bridges sandalwood and birch tar: smoky yet sweet, burnt yet creamy. It works in smoky ambers, incense, and dark-wood compositions where standard sandalwood is too gentle. More clean than choya loban (charred frankincense), with the recognisable ghost of sandalwood sweetness.
