White Sandalwood

White Sandalwood is cherished for its soft, creamy, and woody aroma that carries a hint of sweetness and a warm, smooth finish. It adds a luxurious, grounding base to perfumes, often evoking tranquility and elegance. Its rich, comforting scent blends harmoniously with florals, spices, and resins, enhancing the overall depth and sophistication of a fragrance. White Sandalwood’s versatility and gentle profile make it a beloved note in both masculine and feminine compositions.

History & Production: Sourced from the Santalum album tree, White Sandalwood has a long history in perfumery, especially in Indian and Southeast Asian traditions. The essential oil is extracted through steam distillation of the heartwood, a process that preserves its rich, creamy character. Sustainable sourcing has become a critical focus due to high demand and overharvesting concerns. Innovations in synthetic sandalwood molecules have helped reduce environmental impact while maintaining its iconic scent in modern perfumery.
