The scent of Sri Lankan Sandalwood Oil is a harmonious symphony of creamy, sugary, creamy pineapple, buttery, floral sweetness.

The extraction of Sri Lankan Sandalwood Oil is a meticulous process that requires patience, skill, and respect for nature. Traditionally, the heartwood of mature Santalum album trees is carefully harvested, taking care to ensure the sustainability of the species. The harvested wood is then finely ground or chipped before undergoing the distillation process.

Steam distillation is the most common method used to extract sandalwood oil from the wood chips. During this process, the wood chips are placed in a still with water, and steam is passed through them, releasing the aromatic compounds. The steam, now enriched with sandalwood oil molecules, is then condensed and collected, leaving behind the fragrant essential oil.

This method preserves the integrity of the oil, capturing its full spectrum of aromatic compounds while maintaining its therapeutic properties. The resulting Sri Lankan Sandalwood Oil is a testament to the time-honored tradition of craftsmanship and the natural abundance of the island’s forests.
