In Australia, Sandalwood (including its lumber, seed oil, nuts and powder) has been used for food, fodder, fuel and fragrance, in aboriginal art, religious and spiritual practices, as well as in traditional medicine for thousands of years. In fact, it was the \u003cem\u003ewooden \u003c\/em\u003egold\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eof the ‘Sandalwood Road’ that brought prosperity to the Australian continent in the early years of colonial rule. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSantalum spicatum\u003c\/em\u003e is native to Western Australia, where the Forests Products Commission (FPC) manages the sustainable harvesting of Sandalwood forests. Sandalwood is beloved for its sweet, warm, woody and rich aroma and is a world-renowned and highly desired ingredient in body care, skin care, natural perfumes, and incense for its incomparable fragrance and deeply calming effects.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sandalwood essential oil most recognized is distilled from \u003cem\u003eSantalum album\u003c\/em\u003e in the Mysore region of India. It is an alarming fact that Mysore Sandalwood has endured severe population decline and genetic impoverishment (i.e., become nearly extinct) due to decades of over-harvesting, mismanagement of forests and illegal poaching – all driven by lucrative global demand. This is good news and bad news. The bad news is that high value plus harvesting restrictions are powerful incentives for the development of synthetics and the routine adulteration of genuine Sandalwood oils. The good news is that this near tragedy created a new industry in other regions for cultivating various species of Sandalwood (including \u003cem\u003eS. spicatum\u003c\/em\u003e) using more sustainable practices – a successful strategy for redirecting market pressure away from this precious botanical. Sandalwood, an exquisitely fragrant and praiseworthy tree, like the majestic elephant, has been nearly loved to death. May your usage of Sandalwood be mindful, and may you be present in the magnificence of every application.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe source a wide variety of sustainably harvested \u003cem\u003eSantalum\u003c\/em\u003e species from reputable suppliers in different geographical regions that we are sure will enchant and delight even the most discriminating Sandalwood lovers.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAromatic Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very rich, sweet, exceptionally smooth, creamy, precious wood aroma,with warm fresh undertones; displays good tenacity in the drydown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Colorless to very pale yellow, transparent, slightly viscous, mobile liquid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e This oil will actually improve with age, that is, the aroma will become deeper, rounder and more refined over time when \u003ca title=\"properly stored\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edenbotanicals.com\/frequently-asked-questions#faq18\"\u003eproperly stored\u003c\/a\u003e at a constant temperature below 65-70F degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse: \u003c\/strong\u003eAromatherapy, Natural Perfumery, Incense.
