blue Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Can anyone recommend a favorite sandalwood eo? It's for use in body products. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Yikes! The eo is so very expensive. Does it have to be an eo? If you don't mind a fo, I love Sandalwood and Amber from the Soap Dish. I smell mostly sandalwood and it would also make a good blender. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 No kidding! Actually, it does need to be an eo. I'm using it for aromatherapy applications. My testing is getting expensive, so I was hoping someone has already found a sandalwood that they really liked. I've been testing with a 3% dilution, but I would like to buy undiluted. Thanks!

Lorelei Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I went to China and smelled the real thing, over and over in all the shops and brought a sandalwood fan home. Cajuns sandalwood is really really close to what my fan smells like. just FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I can't tell you for sure (waiting on an order), but what about using Amyris EO instead of a true Sandalwood. It's supposed to have the same type of fragrance but is no where near as expensive as actual Sandalwood. Have you looked at Liberty Natural, the have pretty reasonable prices on their oils. http://www.libertynatural.com/index.html Haven't had an opportunity to order from them yet. Although more expensive, the quality from New Directions Aromatics is excellent. But wow, even the cost of the sample is expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
