Sandalwood - Fine-grained Heavy Yellow Wood, Distinctive Long-lasting Aroma For Aromatherapy And Perfumery

We are the popular manufacturer and supplier of sandalwood in Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh, India. Sandalwood is the name of a class of woods from trees in the genus Santalum. The woods are heavy, yellow, and fine-grained, and unlike many other aromatic woods, they retain their fragrance for decades. Sandalwood oil is extracted from the woods for use. Both the wood and the oil produce a distinctive fragrance that has been highly valued for centuries. Consequently, species of these slow-growing trees have suffered over-harvesting in the past century. Sandalwood oil has a distinctive soft, warm, smooth, creamy, and milky precious-wood scent. It imparts a long-lasting, woody base to perfumes from the oriental, woody, fougA"re, and chypre families, as well as a fixative to floral and citrus fragrances. When used in smaller proportions in a perfume, it acts as a fixative, enhancing the longevity of other, more volatile, materials in the composite. Last but not least, sandalwood is a key ingredient in the "floriental" (floral-ambery) fragrance family a when combined with white florals such as jasmine, ylang ylang, gardenia, plumeria, orange blossom, tuberose, etc. Sandalwood essential oil was popular in herbal medicine up to 1920a 1930, mostly as a urogenital (internal) and skin (external) antiseptic.[citation needed] Its main component is santalol (about 75%). It is used in aromatherapy and to prepare soaps.
