Stunningly scented Sandalwood is one of the world’s most expensive essential oils, prized for its extraordinarily fine fragrance, which is described as soft and sweet, rich, woody, and balsamic.
Sandalwood has been valued throughout history for use in religious rites and traditional medicines. It retains a prominent role in folk remedies and in spiritual practices and has also risen to prominence in luxury consumer goods such as perfumes and cosmetics.
Classical Sandalwood Essential Oil comes from the East Indian variety,Santalum album. Due to the slow maturity rate of this species and traditionally high demand exceeding sustainable supply, cultivation of Indian Sandalwood is now heavily restricted. NDA sources its Indian Sandalwood only from licensed producers who purchase the raw material through auctions conducted by the Government of India under strict sustainability controls.
As an alternative to East Indian Sandalwood, Australian Sandalwood from theSantalum spicatumspecies has gained popularity. This oil is aromatically close to the classical Indian variety and easier to sustainably produce.
