Australian sandalwood ( santalum spicatum ) from organic and regenerative farming.
CO2 extraction from the heartwood of the sandalwood tree that has died naturally.
Very similar to Indian sandalwood in its therapeutic benefits which are numerous.
The aroma is sharper than true Indian sandalwood but it softens out over time.
The felt sense of applying this particular oil to the body is its' affinity as a heart medicine to heal and soothe wounds of the heart. I can see this oil pairing well with rose for a broken heart.
