#3 : Sandal wood.
Wednesday, 8 February 2012
Sandalwood is found in the region of Mysore, India. The essential oil is obtained from its trunk, ground to dust, then distilled with water steam.
These trees begin to be endangered because of their illegal cutting . That’s why the sandal of Mysore is so expensive.
Widely used to make incense, in a perfume creation, it gives woody bottom notes, and it helps to fix a fragrance.
Sandalwood sublimates both men and women perfumes with its milky, smoky facets.
