Sandalwood

Santalum Album

Woody/Soft/Warm

According to age-old traditions, this sacred wood from India has a reputation for uplifting the soul. It is now grown in Australia and New Caledonia. When the wood chips and roots are steam distilled, the result is a warm, creamy essential oil, with varying degrees of milkiness depending on the quality. To reach its exemplary vintage, the essence needs to age for at least six months.
