Product Overview

Our Sandalwood By-Absolute offers a unique woody-sweet aroma in natural perfumes. A by-absolute is an extraction process whereby the heartwood is first distilled for essential oil, and then the same material is used to extract 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.

Real Nice -Subtle and Smoth

Rating

It's got a soft scent that is not overbearing, or in your face. I would prefer a little more strength to it however. It dosen't have the legs I like in a base oil. But, it is real, and it is Sandalwood oil, nothing else. I will be getting more.

Don't miss this.

I've went through ounce after ounce of this absolute over the last few months. It's truly incredible. It has a very traditional sandalwood scent, but with an added dimension that makes it sweeter and so much more aromatic. The description speaks of "maple syrup-like notes", but I don't get maple from this, although I can see where the comparison might be made. It's sweetness has a depth that regular sandalwood just doesn't posses. For the price this is, by far, the best deal on sandalwood you'll find. Unmistakeable quality and beauty.

Love, Love, Love!

I am extremely pleased that this NC absolute came back in stock. Describing this oil as having a maple syrup note is so precise. It is so nice to have a natural that provides a sweet, sugary, gourmand note such as this. I've never been a big sandalwood fan . . . but this (along with a Vanuatu oil I have) has changed my mind.

sweet and wonderful

Rating

I put this on by itself the othe day and my husband would not leave me alone. He insisted it was the best perfume ever. it is a cedar-y smell but so complex. It is smoky sweet, vanilla like and has an indescribable sweetness. It is beguiling and seductive. My new signature fragrance.

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! :-)
