Mysore Sandalwood Oil
Price range: £4.00 through £40.00
Santalum Album
Steam Distilled 2017
Mysore sandalwood needs little introduction. It has been the most prized sandalwood in the world for centuries — harvested from the heartwood of Santalum Album trees native to the Mysore region of India, with a warmth and creaminess that other sandalwood species rarely match.
This is a pure, unadulterated 2017 steam distillation. No dilution, no additives. It is the same oil I use as the carrier in the castoreum and hyraceum infusions, and as a base in several of the attars. If you want to understand why Mysore sandalwood sits at the heart of so much traditional perfumery, this is a good place to start.
Worn on its own it is calm, grounding, and quietly beautiful. As a base for layering with other fragrances it is exceptional — it smooths, extends, and elevates everything around it.
Please note: The sample vial caps fit very tightly and may require a bit of extra force to open and close. I’m aware of this inconvenience and will be switching to improved vials from a different supplier in future batches. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I’m absolutely impressed with this sandalwood perfume! The scent is rich, warm, and woody. It’s perfect for everyday wear and the longevity is impressive. It lasts all day without fading or losing its scent. I’ve received so many compliments on this perfume, and it’s quickly become my go-to fragrance. Highly recommend!

This Mysore is very beautiful, its elegant and smooth with its warm woody nature that is nice and subtle. It later develops to be rich and creamy, not many mysore i’ve tried has achieved what this has. This is one for recommendations for anyone who wants authentic mysore sandalwood, whether its for personal use or for blends, a beautiful scent.
