Produced from sandalwood trees native to the South Pacific island of New Caledonia, this essential oil captures the distinctive aromatic character shaped by the region’s tropical climate and mineral-rich soils. Sustainable harvesting practices and careful resource management help protect these valuable trees while supporting local agricultural communities. Once the trees reach maturity, the heartwood and roots are carefully processed through steam distillation, releasing a richly aromatic oil. The resulting pale golden liquid carries a smooth woody fragrance layered with creamy, balsamic undertones and subtle sweet facets.
