East Indian is a rich, balsamic, sweet fragrance with delicate wood
notes that add to its reputation as a luxurious and exquisite oil.
History: The documented use of
Sandalwood goes back 4000 years to India, Egypt, Greece and Rome.
Many temples and structures were built from Sandalwood and the
Egyptians used it in embalming. This practice has steadily decreased
to the point where Sandalwood East Indian is now only being used for
the distillation of oil. The largest reason for this is the
over-harvesting of the tree coupled with the 30 year period required
for the regeneration. As with all of our oils, we acquire our oils
ethically from the Mysore Region. In this case it is through State
sponsored auctions in India.
Cautions: No known toxicity.
