Sandalwood Oil India
When compared to other sandalwoods, Indian sandalwood has the highest concentration of alpha and beta santalols, containing 70-90 percent of the compounds.
The therapeutic nature of the oil is attributed to alpha santalol, while beta santalol contributes to Indian sandalwood’s lovely olfactory profile. This has earned Indian sandalwood the title of “King of Woods,” thanks to its distinct sweet, creamy, and woody aroma, as well as its “liquid gold” appearance: a clear, pale yellow to clear, slightly viscous liquid.
Due to its soft woody base note, Indian sandalwood is the most coveted of the sandalwood family in fine fragrance formulation.
