SANDALWOOD SAMPLE SETS - Explore our Sandalwood lovers' delights

Sandalwood is a very special aromatic, and one of my favorite wears. It is a subtle being, not so much an "in your face" aromatic. 

Widely used spiritually since antiquity (where it was known), it has a peaceful energy that is a both grounding and elevating. It is also a substance with numerous health and cosmetic benefits according to many traditional health systems in India, China, Japan, etc.

Slow growing and richly connected to neighboring trees, sandalwood are strongly influenced by their terroir disclosing subtle nuances that amateurs delight in.

We collect, cure and sometimes produce quality artisan small batches of Sandalwood oils, ranging from the inexpensive to the very rare.

Sample kits are a great way to explore such diversity.

They also offer substantial discounts compared to individual sample prices, somewhere between 12 % and 20% depending on the number of samples and their volumes.

All oils have been cured a minimum of 18 months

and often much more

(see each oil's entry for specifics). 

We offer different sets:

Entry to mid range (3 samples of 0.25 or 0.5 ml )
Our more economical offerings. Nevertheless all quality oils, artisan produced with care. The differences in price and profile compared to other oils comes from the raw material (relatively younger wood, less expensive) and the distillation process (relatively shorter cycles, less costly as well to produce). 

Like for our other collections the wood comes from different countries (and sub regions), and has been sourced or produced respectfully. In these sets : semi wild or small scale plantation.

Mid to exclusive range (3 samples of 0.25 or 0.5 ml )
Oils of the next caliber(s). Raw material is older, produced by single trees or small bundle of connected trees wild or semi wild. Longer distillation cycles. Profiles tend to be more complex and subtle.

The fuller experience (5 samples of 0.25 or 0.5 ml)
This is a wider selection showcasing the full range of the two sets above.

Rarities  (3 samples of 0.25 ml)
Here are the literally exceptional ones, usually a combination of single tree origin, wild, very old, terroir specific. Very small batches, and most often than not, singular profiles that will never be replicated. Note : some oils can differ quite a lot from the "Classical Mysore" profile benchmark,

The Complete Set (7 samples of 0.25 ml or 5ml)
One rarity oil, and six other oils, curated to showcase the largest diversity. 

The precious oils are served in our 1.3 ml max recovery glass sample vials. 

The volume quantity indicated is a minimum : we honor the timeless tradition of adding a little extra in vials to show appreciation, so there is always a bit more than what you paid for.
