Sandalwood is also known as one of the oldest known perfume materials with 4,000 documented use. It has a rich, soft woody aroma.

Sandalwood is an evergreen, parasitic tree that burrows its roots into other trees. It can grow up to 30 feet high and has a brown-gray trunk, many smooth slender branches, leathery leaves and small pink-purple flowers.

We believe the Sandalwood is named Almug Tree in the Bible.  The almug tree was used to build Solomon's Temple, house, and construction of musical instruments.  This oil is one of the oldest known perfume materials with 4,000 years of documented use.  It was/is used as a traditional incense and embalming material throughout the East.  References state it is  probable that this tree is sandalwood, native to India and Ceylon.
