Sandalwood

Native to India, Sandalwood is a shrub whose bark and roots are distilled into powder to obtain an essential oil with a milky, sweet, balmy and warm scent. Sandalwood Albanum from India, and more precisely from the region of Mysore, is considered the most refined, for its particularly rich and complex scent, but it is now in danger of extinction, so that generally, sandalwood used in perfumery comes from Indonesia, New Caledonia, Australia or Sri Lanka. In the world of perfumery, it is used as a base note in woody and oriental perfumes, for both men and women, to which it brings roundness and sensuality.
