We offer this Sandalwood fragrance oil as an alternative to pure sandalwood. Pure sandalwood oil is becoming increasingly scarce, since the quality of the oil depends largely on the age of the tree that the oil is derived from. Unscrupulous dealers have almost destroyed the specie, and the trees (especially the aged trees) are now protected by the Indian government.
This Sandalwood fragrance oil should be used for the aroma in burners and as a fragrance addition to blends and cosmetics.
Pure Sandalwood essential oil is from India and extracted from Santalum album of the Santalaceae family and is also known as East Indian sandalwood, santal, saunders and sandalwood Mysore. Sandalwood Mysore should not be confused with the cheap sandalwood available from Australia.
Though expensive, Sandalwood Essential oil has wonderful qualities for relieving both chest and urinary tract infections, while assisting the skin in promoting hydration and moisture and for the mind it creates a calming and harmonizing effect, while reducing tension and confusion.

Sandalwood is an evergreen, parasitic tree that burrows its roots into other trees. It can grow up to 9 meters (30 feet) high and has a brown-gray trunk, many smooth slender branches, leathery leaves and small pink-purple flowers. It can take thirty to sixty years for a tree to reach full maturity, when it is cut and distilled and the yellowish wood is sold in thin scrapings.
It is agreed that the best sandalwood oil is from Mysore in India. The documented use of the wood goes back 4000 years and caravans carrying this wood from India to Egypt, Greece and Rome were a familiar sight. Many temples were built from the wood and the Egyptians used the oil in embalming. Sandalwood is much in demand as incense and has a calming effect during meditation. Swahra yoga recommends it for the union of the senses and Tantric yoga for the awakening of sexual energy. Once Sandalwood was used for making furniture and caskets, but as the tree is nearly extinct, it is only used for the distillation of oil.
Because of the threat of total extinction, this oil is now very well controlled in India – but has caused the price of this very fine oil to soar, and become one of the most expensive essential oils on the market – and for that reason we offer this fragrance oil.
