Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

Does this sandalwood powder have a strong scent?
Most reviewers describe a rich, authentic scent that is warm, creamy, and buttery. However, one customer reported finding the smell very weak when infused in oil or used in an electric burner, so scent strength may vary by application method or storage conditions.
Is this authentic Mysore sandalwood?
Yes. Reviewers with familiarity with genuine Mysore sandalwood confirm the authenticity of the scent and quality. The product description notes it is sustainably sourced from Indonesia—a region with identical climate and soil to Mysore India—and the quality has been verified by both aromatic profile and chemical analysis.
What is the powder texture like?
Reviewers consistently praise the texture as very fine and light, with beautiful powder consistency. One reviewer noted the absence of harsh woody notes found in lower-quality sandalwood powders.
What are common uses for this powder?
Customers use it for incense, prayers, adding to resins as they warm on electric warmers, facial masks, and as a base for perfume tinctures and dry perfume blends.
Is this sustainably and ethically sourced?
According to the product description, the Indonesian sandalwood is sustainably harvested under strict government regulations that require the harvester to plant ten new trees for every tree removed. India no longer exports sandalwood due to past overharvesting.
How fresh is the product when it arrives?
Reviewers frequently mention receiving the product in excellent, fresh condition with great packaging. Several note that quality and freshness are immediately apparent upon opening.

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.

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.
