Sourced from Santalum spicatum cultivated in Western Australia, this heartwood powder is produced through controlled harvesting and mechanical grinding of dried wood. Compared to Indian sandalwood, it has a drier and more subtle aromatic profile. The powder form enables efficient use in large-scale manufacturing. It is commonly used in incense, soap formulations, and cost-effective fragrance bases where a woody backbone is required. Its availability and sustainability profile make it suitable for industrial applications, particularly where volume and consistency are prioritized over high santalol content.
