Botanical Name: Santalum album

Plant Part: Wood

Extraction Method: Steam Distilled

Description: Sandalwood is an evergreen, parasitic tree that burrows its roots into other trees and 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. That is when it can be harvested and distilled.

Color: Colorless to pale yellow clear thick liquid.

Common Uses: Sandalwood East Indian Essential Oil is used by aromatherapists to create a sense of harmony of body and mind. It also has historical applications as an aid in meditation for religious ceremonies. Sandalwood East Indian is believed to create an exotic, sensual mood with a reputation as an aphrodisiac. It also has extensive uses in the perfume industry as a fixative, and use in body care products for the fragrance it provides.

Consistency: Medium

Note: Base

Strength of Aroma: Medium

Blends well with: Jasmine, Ylang-ylang, Rosewood, Patchouli, Vetiver and Rose.

Aromatic Scent: Sandalwood East Indian Essential Oil has a rich, balsamic, sweet fragrance with delicate wood notes that add to it's reputation as a luxurious and exquisite oil.

History: The documented use of Sandalwood goes back 4000 years to India, Egypt, Greece and Rome. Many temples and structures were built from Sandalwood and the Egyptians used it in embalming. This practice has steadily decreased to the point where Sandalwood East Indian is now only being used for the distillation of oil. The largest reason for this is the over-harvesting of the tree coupled with the 30 year period required for the regeneration. As with all of our oils, we acquire our oils ethically from the Mysore Region. In this case it is through State sponsored auctions in India.

Cautions: Sandalwood East Indian Essential Oil is considered non-toxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing oil.

Far too diluted to appreciate the true smell of sandalwood. Will buy undiluted next time.

I've found the smell quite weak, I do understand its a dilution and I first bought it to see if I liked Sandalwood and I do so next time i'll buy the real thing. But overall I really liked the smell! Great product from NDA.

I agree with Marilyn from Newmarket. 3% from this particular source seems far too weak. There is little to no scent and the therapeutic benefits are virtually non-existent. I will save up for the real thing and diiute it myself!

Love the slight muskiness of this sandalwood, very exotic and warm. I do wish it were a bit stronger (or that I could afford the pure oil), perhaps a 5% or 8% dilution? Just to have a bit stronger option would be nice so I could discover the real character of this oil before splurging on a vial of the real thing.

I found this product too weak at a 3%, but I love the Neroli, Jasmine, and Rose

Hmmm... Sandalwood evokes a sensual atmosphere with its rich and exotic aroma. I am using this EO in a perfume blend of mine and it adds a grounding and earthy element to the sweet florals which is to die for! I don't know the difference between Egyptian and East Indian Sandalwood, but at 3% dilution this was definitely a wise choice to make before I splurge on the full strength Sandalwood! None of the EOs I have bought from NDA has disappointed me in the slightest, including this one. Bravo!
