Product Overview

Our Sandalwood By-Absolute is a specialty material created for perfumers and formulators to offer a unique and different take on the aroma of Sandalwood. A by-absolute is an extraction process whereby the Sandalwood heartwood is first distilled for essential oil, and then the remaining spent material is solvent extracted to obtain the absolute. This exceptionally sustainable process renders an absolute that adds delicious, deep warm wood and maple syrup/brown sugar-like notes to your blends.

Sandalwood is revered for its sweet, warm, woody and rich aroma. It is widely sought after in body care, skin care, natural perfumes, and incense for its beautiful, divine aroma that inspires both an ambiance of sensuality and peaceful contemplation. Used for thousands of years in the Eastern world, from Egypt to India to Israel, Sandalwood is a well-respected oil with many beneficial properties.

The Sandalwood most recognized is Santalum album oil from the Mysore region of India – a species that has become virtually extinct due to years of over harvesting and poaching. Thankfully, there are now various species of Sandalwood available that use more sustainable and ethical practices to meet high consumer demand. This austrocaledonicum species of Sandalwood, with its rich, warm wood aroma, provides a cost effective and sustainable alternative to endangered Indian Sandalwood oils. The uniquely sweet sugary quality has become a favorite of natural perfumers.

Eden Botanicals offers a wide variety of species of Sandalwood from around the globe to fit your budget and needs. We procure our oils from reputable sources that are ethically harvesting the trees so this precious resource can be sustained.

Smooth and similar to Indian Sandalwood

Rating

I've tried a couple versions of Sandalwood from Eden Botanicals and while I was a huge fan of the Vanuatu Sandalwood, I notice they're not selling it anymore??? I was glad I also bought the New Caledonia version because it is a very nice alternative to the Indian Sandalwood. I will continue to purchase this variety although I might have to try that sample pack of theirs too! :-)

If you consider that true essential oils from plants - hydrated and nourished by sun, water and soil, tended and distilled with human hands -- represent the “life force”, or prana, of plants,
