We import this from Australia to off set the demands of Mysore Sandalwood. Although it is extremely high quality and sustainably harvested it is a little less costly than the Mysore Sandalwood. The essential oil from this amazing tree is more commercially viable than the Indian Sandalwood.To ensure sustainable existence for the natural Sandalwood resources, timber harvesting has been regulated since 1920 by the Western Australian Sandalwood Control Act (1929). Plantations were established to renew the tree populations and essential oil production comes only from these managed sources.The trunk and roots of Australian sandalwood are stripped of bark and distilled for their essential oil. It sweetly mild woody character with some spicy accents is similar to the fragrance of Indian sandalwood (Santalum album), but the rawer, earthy dimension makes it an original and distinct material. The essential oils extracted contain a great complexity of chemicals, many of which have antimicrobial qualities. Sandalwood is highly regarded in Australian Indigenous circles traditional Aboriginal uses are still in practice.
