This is a beautiful traditional Sandalwood Mysore extracted with New Caledonia Sandalwood Austrocaledonicum, both growing together in the region. Sandalwood heartwoods is first distilled once for essential oil, and then the remaining spent material is solvent extracted to obtain the absolute. This oil is warm, ultra-sweet, buttery, and very smooth in aroma.
This oil is rich in α-santalol, the constituent that gives Sandalwood its signature woody aroma and is responsible for many of the beneficial effects. In Ancient times in Jewish homes, it was not uncommon to find the inlaid woodworks of the common sycamore tree, sometimes of olive wood, or cedar wood, and in palaces of the Hebrew Kings with Sandalwood.
Everyone knows that the older the extraction of Sandalwood the more it ages the more valuable and more coveted this oil becomes. This one was extracted in 2022. I wanted to age out some of those green notes and let the mature side of the heartwoods to take over. Glad I did, wow! Traditionally used for toothaches, indigestion, cough, asthma, headache, stress, blood impurities and perfume composition
Bible Texts:
Known in the Bible as Aloes Wood and Almuggim trees that grew in the region Almog in Israel and in Lebanon see Numbers 24:6, Psalms 45:8, Proverbs 7:17, Song of Songs 4:14

Almugwood,as used in 1 Kings is thought to be red sandalwood:
“And she gave the king 120 talents of gold, large quantities of spices, and precious stones. Never again were so many spices brought in as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon. (Hiram’s ships brought gold from Ophir; and from there they brought great cargoes of almugwood and precious stones. The king used the almugwood to make supports for the temple of the Lord and for the royal palace, and to make harps and lyres for the musicians. So much almugwood has never been imported or seen since that day.)”
— 1 Kings 10:10-12

Thankfully, we are blessed that there are now various species of Sandalwood available that use more sustainable and ethical practices to meet high consumer demand. This Austrocaledonicum species of Sandalwood, with its rich, warm wood aroma, provides a deeper aroma and a more sustainable alternative to most endangered Indian Sandalwood oils. This one was extracted with two types of sandalwood heartwood. The uniquely sweet, sugary, and deep warm sandalwood notes have become a favorite of natural perfumers and formulators.
