Our perfumes containing Mysore Sandalwood

The scent of Sandalwood is mythical in the same way as the fragrances of musk and amber: its name is universally known but it is now so rare and precious that most people have never smelled anything but the poor chemical substitutes that industry produces for the cheap mass production.

The planet simply does not produce enough essence of Sandalwood for all its inhabitants. It cannot be: a Sandal tree needs 35 years to grow, 10 minutes are enough to pull it down. 

In India, this wood is traditionally dedicated to sacred uses, such as the construction of temples, statues, and crematory functions. In its country of origin, there are for Sandalwood billion consumers who, beyond the uses listed above, are also regular burners of sandalwood incense.
