Australian sandalwood oil

What it is
Natural oil from wood of wild and plantation Santalum spicatum trees.
Where it comes from
Western Australia
When you smell it
Dry-down: hours later.
What perfumers do with it
Sustainable sandalwood body for woody bases; often blended with synthetics to round out its drier character.
Worth knowing
Its santalols total roughly 20–45%, against about 57–79% in Indian sandalwood, which is why it smells drier.
Rules
Limited. Its farnesol content counts toward the IFRA farnesol limit.
