## About
Twelve hours after a scent strip is dipped, this sandalwood is still there, lush and sweet. It is a wood that lingers, quietly, long after the evening ends.Santalum austrocaledonicum is sustainably plantation grown in New Caledonia, the French islands of the South Pacific, and hydrodistilled from the heartwood. For every tree harvested, the growers plant not only six new sandalwood trees but eighteen new host trees, so choosing this oil contributes to the forest rather than depleting it. To our nose it is perhaps a bit lighter and sweeter than Indian Santalum album, and it may be our favorite of all our sandalwoods.A guilt free sandalwood, and a beautiful one.DetailsBotanical name: Santalum austrocaledonicumOrigin: New Caledonia, sustainably plantation grownMethod: hydrodistillation of the heartwoodShelf life: about 5 to 8 years after openingHow to useDiffuse it, wear a touch in a perfume blend, or dilute it in a carrier oil for a body oil.
