Sandalwood - Santalum spicatum. Sourced from Australasia (Indian Sandalwood is now very hard to obtain in reliable quantities).
Method of Extraction: Steam distillation of the wood.
Description: Smooth, exotic, spicy-wood aroma. Pale yellow to amber in colour. Sandalwood has become extremely difficult to get hold of due to Indian government controls. The oil is a by-product of the use of Sandalwood for figurines and furniture, which is very popular, especially in the Far East.
Directions and Specific Safety Advice: Always read carefully the latest instructions and precautions which come with the product. This oil is 100% pure, natural and undiluted. Dilute 3-5 drops in 10ml of carrier oil. Do not take internally. Do not use undiluted on the skin. Keep away from children. Keep away from the eyes. Do not use during pregnancy.
Suggested uses:
Sandalwood has long been used as a perfume by both men and women and is popularly used in homemade massage blends to create a sensual atmosphere. For a wonderfully mellow massage oil, blend 3 drops of Sandalwood, 2 drops of Roman Chamomile and a drop of Frankincense in 20ml of Absolute Aromas' Peach Kernel oil.
A drop each of Sandalwood, Geranium and Bergamot in an oil burner can help create a cosy atmosphere.
