Sandalwood essential oil Santalum austrocaledonicum Vieill.
Santal is one of the oldest luxury scents that have been with mankind, and one of the most precious essential oils. Sandalwood has been used for millennia to build royal palaces and temples, carve thrones, holy statues and rosaries – the wood has given off a noble, majestic, delicate fragrance for years. Large quantities were and still are used as medicine in Chinese and Indian medicine and, of course, in the manufacture of the ancient perfume, atars.
The oil is distilled from the heartwood, yellow sandalwood, bot. The tribes of the New Caledonian archipelago use indigenous wild trees and replanted resources, and wild trees were virtually deforested by the 1860s. Since 2000, the government has started to restrict the harvesting of any sandalwood, introducing a replanting programme: after one tree has been cut down, three trees are planted back. The oil is distilled at a local distillery. The production of Santal wood and oil is a very important source of income for the local population.
The smell of real, not synthetic, sandalwood essential oil is never pungent and intense, but must be listened to. It is a calm, undulating scent, but don't be fooled by the calmness, the scent of sandalwood is very long-lasting. Without dominating, it manifests itself in any composition on a calm but powerful note. The characteristic scent is mainly due to alpha and beta santalols.
Three species of sandalwood are currently used commercially, accumulating >60% of sandalwood: S. album (white sandalwood), S. spicatum (Australian sandalwood) and S. austrocaledonicum (yellow sandalwood). S. album wood and oil has been and still is the most coveted commodity since ancient times, which is why the trees have been almost eradicated and are on the IUNC Red List. For this reason, we have decided not to buy any more white sandalwood oil; instead, we offer a less vulnerable species, yellow sandalwood oil from New Caledonia. It has a scent that is not inferior to white sandalwood oil in quality, and is even richer, with a dry, cedary note

Tikrai nuostabus kvapas! Rinkausi ji is aprasymu čia ir nepasigailėjau! Net pranoko lukescius! Tarsi labai mylimi kvrpalai ????
Superinis kvapas!
Neįtikėtina, kad toks švelnus lengvas kvapas gali taip puikiai raminti ir gana ilgai išsilaikyti. Naudoju ant riešo užsitepusi ir vis uostau, mėgaujuosi.
Nerealus kvapas
Vienas iš tų aliejų, kuriuo gali mėgautis be kitų kvapų. Jo nereikia daug, o patepus riešus lydi ir skleidžiasi dar ilgai. Kitiems kvapams suteikia kilmingumo ir erdvės. Kaip mintys yra išsiskaidę, jis suriša visa į visumą, nuramina. Tikras kvapų karalius, kuriam sunku rasti lygių..
