Sandalwood Australian Essential Oil Certified Organic

Soft, sweet, and deeply woody. Australian Sandalwood is a more sustainable expression of one of the world's most revered aromatic traditions, and it carries that heritage beautifully.

Valley of the Moon's Australian Sandalwood is a certified organic essential oil steam distilled from the wood of Santalum spicatum. Oriental and balsamic with a rich, warm, woody depth, it brings the deeply calming, grounding, and balancing qualities that have made Sandalwood a cornerstone of meditation, spiritual practice, and luxury perfumery for centuries. A thick, pale yellow oil with a medium-strength base note aroma, it blends effortlessly with florals, resins, and other base notes to create some of the most enduring and complex aromatic combinations in the collection.
