About This Material

Indian Sandalwood oil is one of the most prized and historically significant materials in world perfumery. Distilled from the heartwood of Santalum album, it has been at the centre of Indian fragrance, ritual, and trade for thousands of years. Its warm, creamy, and deeply woody character makes it both a standalone material and an unparalleled base and fixative in perfumery.

Olfactive Profile

Warm, creamy, and softly woody with a smooth, milky sweetness and a subtle balsamic depth. Indian Sandalwood is remarkably smooth and skin-close, with excellent tenacity and a dry-down that is both intimate and enduring. It is one of the most balanced and universally appealing materials in natural perfumery.
