Sandalwood oil is extracted from the heartwood of the Santalum Album tree, the tree gives the oil after 30 years of planting. The Mysore Sandalwood, native to the Mysore region, India, is the one with the highest levels of Santalol (more than 91%). It is strictly regulated by the government, all the Sandalwood plantations have to be handed over to the government and it sells them at auction. Companies that distill Sandalwood have to buy it at these auctions. Sandalwood is the 3rd most expensive in the world, Ebony being the first, and Agarwood the second. It is for this reason that Sandalwood is so expensive. If you want Sandalwood at cheaper prices, you have the option of Sandalwood with 78% Santalol, which is a lower quality Sandalwood oil, although it still has a very good aroma.
Authentic Mysore Sandalwood is medium brown in color, slightly sticky, and has a creamy-buttery, woody, and mild odor. There is no greater fixer, co-distiller, and better aging essential oil than Mysore Sandalwood.
This Sandalwood is the authentic Mysore Sandalwood, I have a GC/MS on it to confirm the Santalol levels which are over 91%.
One of the most luxurious essential oils, scarce and with many uses. Ideal for perfumery and develop very select aromas. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if you want a small sample to check its quality.
Not for use during pregnancy, with the elderly, infants, or if epileptic. Possible skin irritant in some individuals; dilute well.
General Safety Information: Do not take any oils internally and do not apply undiluted essential oils, onto the skin without advanced essential oil knowledge or consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage, have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under the proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Use extreme caution when using oils with children. Consult a qualified aromatherapy practitioner before using oils with children, the elderly, if you have medical issues or are taking medications.

Aromatic Profile
A full-bodied sandalwood profile: sweet and woody at first, then softer, deeper and increasingly creamy through the drydown. Its persistence and smoothness make it particularly valuable as a natural base and fixative.
Blending Direction
- Builds depth beneath floral, resinous, woody and amber-style accords.
- Rounds sharp edges and extends the drydown of a composition.
- Evaluate at low dilution first; authentic sandalwood develops slowly on blotter and skin.
Formulation & Usage
Santalum album heartwood oil is characterised by the sesquiterpene alcohols α-santalol and β-santalol. The client’s source text also lists α-santalol at 41–55%, β-santalol at 16–24%, α-bergamotol at 4–6% and several lower-level sesquiterpenols.
Those general ranges should not be combined with the separate claim of more than 91% total santalol as though both describe every batch. Confirm the actual profile, identity and calculation basis on the current GC/MS.
