Santalum spicatum (Western Australia)
The highest grade West Australian steam-distilled sandalwood. So sad that this is now terribly expensive. The price seems to be manipulated like the oil price.
We have a reasonable quality fragrant (synthetic) sandalwood oil for much less. (You can find that here). Some people actually prefer the aroma. However, there will be no therapeutic effects.
Australian Sandalwood grows naturally in Western Australia and is extracted from various wood grades sourced from premium growing regions. This oil has an alpha santalol content of greater than 25%, which is considerably higher than other Australian Sandalwood Oils on the market.
