Australian Sandalwood: Santalum spicatum, a native tree of Western
Australia, is closely related to the Indian Santalum album and has high
levels of active fragrance compounds as well as high levels of
anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties.
For more than 4000 years, people have valued sandalwood as a
perfume, incense and medicine. But over the last 100 years we've seen
significant declines in populations of sandalwood species--the result of
under-regulated over-harvesting driven by an ever-increasing demand for
the exotic, warm, sensuous aroma of fine sandalwood.
Those who have a long experience with Indian sandalwood oil may find the
volatile top note of the Australian oil a little unfamiliar at first,
but the high-quality Australian oil provides the full aromatherapy
benefits of sandalwood from sustainably harvested trees--the key to
reversing the over-harvesting that threatens the continued availability
of sandalwood.
Expect to pay about $100 for an ounce of Australian Sandalwood.
Have a great day!
