Description
Old-Growth Java Sandalwood Oil – Sinking Grade, Santalum album
This oil is distilled exclusively from old-growth Java sandalwood, sourced from a sinking-grade tree estimated at over 100 years of age. Only material of exceptional density and maturity was selected, resulting in a sandalwood oil with uncommon depth, nuance, and longevity.
On first application, the aroma opens with a vivid, green character — fresh meadow grass warmed by late-summer air — accompanied by a subtle animalic edge that adds complexity without heaviness. The opening is expressive and energetic, yet the texture remains smooth and rounded.
As the scent develops, the initial grassy impression reveals itself as an optical illusion of sorts: it is the woody sandalwood core asserting itself in an unusually bright, open way. Despite the strength of the top notes, the oil never feels sharp or aggressive.
The drydown settles into a calm, harmonious blend of soft woods and mellow green facets, lingering close to the skin with a grounded, meditative quality.
This is a sandalwood oil that bridges freshness and depth — powerful in aroma, yet composed in wear.
