Sourced from Santalum spicatum grown in Western Australia, these chips are produced by mechanically cutting mature heartwood into uniform pieces. The aroma is comparatively dry and less creamy than Indian sandalwood, reflecting its lower santalol content. The chips are primarily used for oil distillation, incense manufacturing, and wood-based fragrance applications. Their consistent size and quality make them suitable for industrial-scale processing. Australian sandalwood chips are widely used as a sustainable alternative in global supply chains where cost efficiency and availability are key considerations.
