This lump you see here was actually part of a branch, can you imagine the size the tree must have been?! So this wood has been laying, bone dry for at least 20 years, we don’t know exactly how long. We talk about how the aroma of sandalwood changes over time but when a log sits, bone dry for decades the aroma is transformed. The base creamy note is still here, no zippy, spicy notes, all gone. Now the aroma is complex, musky, musty, grandmothers attic, slightly earthy and almost savoury. A connoisseur scent worthy of exploration!

it’s wonderful but this is a delicate wood. It’s best to warm the wood (not burn) to release the oil. Burning the wood will mask the scent of the oil with wood smoke. See below 👇👇

How to use? High heat doesn’t bring out the best for this wood. Use on an ashy coal (please wait for coal to form white ash, or even wait longer for lower heat!) And preferably a mica plate. The best results with this wood is to use an electric Subitism heater (for incense burning) at low heat.
