Sandalwood is one of the most sacred and ancient aromatics in the world. Its aroma is deep, rich, and woody, but with a unique creamy, soft, and slightly sweet character that makes it incredibly comforting. It is a classic base note in perfumery that provides a rich, substantive, and grounding foundation.
It is impossible to talk about Sandalwood without addressing sustainability. The famous Indian Mysore Sandalwood is critically endangered from overharvesting. For this reason, we exclusively use organic Sandalwood from the *Santalum spicatum* species, which is grown in sustainable plantations in Western Australia, ensuring the health of the species for generations to come.
In skincare, Australian Sandalwood is a gentle giant. It is wonderfully soothing and is known to help calm inflammatory skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne. It's a fantastic choice for dry, dehydrated, or mature skin, helping to restore a sense of calm, comfortable balance.
Aromatically, Sandalwood is the ultimate oil for a scattered mind. It is profoundly grounding and quieting, helping to ease nervous tension and promote a deep, meditative state. It’s an oil we use with great respect for its history, its sustainability, and its remarkable ability to soothe both our outer and inner worlds.
