Australian vs Indian Sandalwood Oil 

Being a Sandalwood snob, there is lots to talk about on this subject, but you did a good intro on the scent profile between the two species - thank you Nikhil Bhai. I feel that Santalum Austrocaledonicum from Vanuatu is middle ground in terms of the scent progression and budget, between Santalum Album from Mysore and Santalum Spicatum from Australia, even though it doesn't have the lasting power of either of the two species. Santalum Paniculatum from Hawaii is a close runner up to Mysore, but if your budget allows, investing the extra 15% for the Mysore version would be wise. Overall nothing beats the scent profile, progression, and spiritual touch of true Indian Sandalwood. Zakir Bhai from Assam Agarwood has a 32 year old version of Mysore that is one of the best that I have tried recently, and beats all of Ensar's Sandalwood offerings ... combined, IMO.

I had the blessed honor to build the equipment for getting the Sandalwood oil yield from a large ranch on the island of Hawaii in an old Japanese perfume building.

Sir you forgot to mention the links in dicription for Indian Mysore Sandal oil.

I dont know why I felt I would like to be in India now. I have never been there... I purchased some Indian Sandalwood oil and I literally use it as my favorite perfume.

Grown right here in Western Australia! Interesting to learn about the differences with Indian sandalwood.

A drop of sandalwood oil (any origin) with dollops of unscented body lotion is heavenly.

Yeah I use both Australian and Indian Sandalwood i honestly can't pick a favorite to be honest very much love them both. There's also Sandalwood Northern that we grow over here also known as True Sandalwood it's just a bit dry and also it's a bit expensive too. Like i use a lot of different varieties of Sandalwood in my compositions making fine fragrance and also the synthetics too. I still need to get New Caledonian Sandalwood i think that's about it but yeah i absolutely love Sandalwood that and Agarwood and Ebony Wood. We grow Agarwood over here too but I'm not sure what grade it is. When it comes to the aloes in OUD the best stuff comes from Vietnam and Indonesia.

There is also Santalum Album farmed in Australia. Your source Eden Botanicals has it in stock. It's of course not as deep buttery rich as these are harvested young and not wild and/or ancient like the album from India.

I'm glad I found this video. Eloquent and straight to the point, thank you!

Exocarpos cupressiformis Try this one. Might be the rarest in the world. Related to sandal wood and produces a cherry

Awesome video as usual . The Best Sandalwood oil Video. Nihkil Sir as you mentioned in the video that, Original Sandalwood oil will have good longivity, What is an average lasting time for Sandawood as per your experience sir.

I like all your observations and learning alot by seeing your vedios . I am following you on Perfume Guru also .. its a privilege to hear you.

Fantastic comparison Doc

They have really good prices. Samples can be for from $3. 👍🏻

What about Australian grass tree? It’s more of a burnt incense. Similar to a dragons blood smell

I wasn't a fan of Sandalwood at all, before I smelled the Indian type... It's so different from the Australian. Which to me is very ungrounding. It gives me anxiety and I don't like the scent. I find the Indian Sandalwood essential oil very relaxing and grounding, with a deep mystical scent to it. It also smells a little bit like sweat, but in a sexy way. And as you say it is very long lasting, even longer than Vetiver. I'm curious about the New Caledonian one, is it similar to the Indian or Australian oil?

I love indian sandalwood. It is my signature scent for many years.

what an interesting topic..enjoyed thanks 🙏

Hello Nikhil Sir, I am happy and agree with the conclusiom that our Indian Santalum Album is better and is more beautiful when our childhood memories are attached with the fragrance. Also, Have you tried their Santalum Album which I believe is more on higher price side than the Santalum Spicatum ?

Thanks for such a awesome and informative video🙏😷.Sir,I wanted to know about Attar Sandal Gold from the house of Ajmal.priced at Rs 3000/- for 25 ml.Does it contain essential oil of pure Sandalwood.how is the sillage ,performance and the longevity of the product.I have seen mixed reviews about it on Amazon and flip kart.As it is I always prefer to buy from Ajmal Colaba .So I am planning to go and buy if it is worth buying.

Hello Nikhil Bhai Please review Mysore Sandal Wood soap, I am using it since longtime and it is so refreshing and cool sandalwood fragrance soap, you can smell it’s fragrance all day in Bathroom

It would be interesting to smell the difference in two oud or musk based perfume oils with these two different sandalwood bases. Would you say the Australian sandalwood would make a more 'massy' or 'more accessible' base in such warm or complex attars?

Sir chandan ki lakadi kahan se lena chahiye mene Cauvery Emporium bangalore se liya usme smell nahi aaraha hai

The best Australian sandalwood spicatum oil comes from the old desert trees. The biggest maker of this old tree oil is Dutjahn Sandalwood Oils

Guruji apke formulation kab ayenge ? Pls send little to me ❤️💘🙏

सर कभी उद के plants or availability के बारे मे भी बताएं । इनकी farming भारत में कहां कहां होती है और इनके plants को और कीस कीस नाम से पुकारा जता है । धन्यवाद

Plz add where I can get maysur sandalwood oil. Dr. Ruhan Bangladesh

thank you🙂🙏

Can you please provide a working link to a website that sells genuine mysore sandalwood? Thank you.

I disagree with you, sandalwood is not the most long lasting component for a perfume, I would say the longest lasting perfume component in the world would probably be the hindi oudh

Does anyone have already bought the santalum album from the indian ebay suppliers? Around 15/20 dollar for 5 ml

Good topic

Please review Ajmal Kuro Shiro & Blu

What is the name of the music? When video starts

Have you try Indonesian Sandalwood ?

Indian is way more Flora!

I was waiting for you to say “Indian one is better”. I think being an Indian you’re just being biased. Honestly, I can’t smell the Indian one. It’s too light. In fact, most perfume lovers won’t spend that much money to smell like nothing.
