Sandalwood Powder-Mysore Quality
Sandalwood Powder Mysore Quality has the signature aroma of Indian Mysore Sandalwood. But is sustainably collected in Indonesia.
$22.00 - $572.00
Mysore Quality Sandalwood Powder greets you immediately upon opening the pouch.
Premium quality, buttery, distinguished, and high in essential oil, this powder is perfect for incense, body powders, dry perfume blends and perfume tinctures.
Mysore Quality Sandalwood Powder is collected from heartwood only. Santalum Album-White Sandalwood.
Compared to our Balloondust Sandalwood powder, the Mysore Sandalwood powder is more lively and robust, while the Balloondust grade is more sophisticated and gentle. Both are gorgeous.
You can find the Balloon Dust Sandalwood powder and chips in the shop
Since overharvesting decimated their Sandalwood tree population, India has not allowed the export of the remaining sandalwood tree products and retains the remainder of the harvest for local use. Planting of new Sandalwood trees in India has commenced, but it will be a few more years before the trees reach the age where they can be harvested and their products exported.
Recently it was discovered that areas in Indonesia share the same climate and soil qualities as Mysore India, and they are hosts to the same species and sub-species of Santalum Album (White Sandalwood), which India is famous for.
The quality of the Indonesian Sandalwood Powder, from both its aromatic profile and chemical analysis, shows it to be identical to the finest Indian Sandalwood.
Having learned from our mistake of over-harvesting Indian Sandalwood faster than it could be grown, Indonesia imposes strict regulations and laws around the harvest of their Sandalwood trees.
Our supplier/harvester adheres to all government laws, which include planting ten new trees for every tree they remove from the forest.
There are a lot of fake and adulterated Sandalwood products on the market, and I have finally found the real deal. Authentic, pure, sustainable and ethically collected.

Hi Dan,
I am so sorry but this has no odour whatsoever, I infused it in jojoba oil and I also tried it with my electric incense burner. The smell is so weak that you couldn’t guess it was sandalwood. For sure I won’t be buying again.
Sorry Dan
Hi Michel. I am so sorry for your disappointment. I'm not sure what the issue is, but I am sending you a replacement in the morning. Let me know if you have a better experience with the replacement.
That said, Sandalwood powder has a low concentration of volatile aromatic molecules. It takes vast amounts of the wood to distill a few grams of essential oil. I also suggest you try a tincture in 95% alcohol if you want to extract at least a small amount of aroma from Sandalwood powder. Not only are carrier oils not the best for this material, but I have found Jojoba oil is the wost when it comes to extracting aromas. It often simply will not absorb or break down aromatic materials. There are some resins, (Like Labdanum), that simply will not dissolve or break down in Jojoba.
If you are going to make an aromatic extract of anything, I highly suggest you try doing it with Fractionated coconut oil in a hot water bath. Dan

This is genuine Mysore sandalwood. I'd know that smell anywhere. It is therapeutic.
