Sandalwood
oil is extracted from the heartwood of the Santalum Album tree, the tree gives
the oil after 30 years of planting. The Mysore Sandalwood, native to the Mysore
region, India, is the one with the highest levels of Santalol (more than 91%).
It is strictly regulated by the government,
all the Sandalwood plantations have to be handed over to the government and it
sells them at auction. Companies that distill Sandalwood have to buy it at
these auctions. Sandalwood is the 3rd most expensive in the world, Ebony being
the first, and Agarwood the second. It is for this reason that Sandalwood is so
expensive. If you want Sandalwood at cheaper prices, you have the option of
Sandalwood with 78% Santalol, which is a lower quality Sandalwood oil, although
it still has a very good aroma.
One of the
most luxurious essential oils, scarce and with many uses. Ideal for perfumery
and develop very select aromas. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any
questions or if you want a small sample to check its quality.
