Sandalwood (Ceylon) 

Sandalwood from Ceylon is a rich and creamy fragrance note with a warm, woody scent profile that carries subtle sweet and earthy undertones. Its aroma is smooth, grounding, and luxurious, adding a deep and tranquil quality to perfumes. Ceylon sandalwood imparts a soft, velvety character and is often used as a base note to create warmth and depth in fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with florals, spices, and amber notes, contributing to fragrances that are elegant, soothing, and long-lasting.

History & Production: Sandalwood from Ceylon, also known as Sri Lankan sandalwood, is derived from the Santalum album tree. Although once abundant, Ceylon sandalwood is now rare due to overharvesting, leading to high value and careful conservation efforts. The essential oil is extracted from the heartwood through steam distillation, yielding a smooth, creamy aroma. In modern perfumery, Ceylon sandalwood is cherished for its rich, calming scent that enhances the depth and sophistication of fragrances, evoking a sense of luxury and tranquility.
