Uses
Atlantone has been suggested as a modifier-substitute for East Indian Sandalwood oil or Santalol. However, it presents quite different tonalities and should be considered a perfume material of unique character. Its availability has fluctuated with the uneven supply of Moroccan (Atlas) Cedarwood oil, and the ketone is only rarely available.
Synthesis
Atlantone is produced by isolation from Atlas Cedarwood oil, or from Himalayan Deodar Cedarwood oil, after boration of the heart fractions of the vacuumdistilled oil.
