Sandalwood Fragrance Oil 500g – the timeless oriental leather-woody aroma
Sandalwood is one of the most anciently documented natural aromas in the world: from India to Japan and across the Arab perfume tradition, it has been used for centuries in spiritual ceremonies, medicinal practice and as a base ingredient for unique fragrances. This 500 g sandalwood fragrance oil is a premium raw material for aromatherapy, candle making and personal fragrance creation. The liquid format allows flexible dosing, while the aluminium bottle protects the volatile compounds from the damaging effects of light and air.

Fragrance profile
Sandalwood fragrance oil has a characteristically warm, creamy-woody and lightly leathery aroma – a base note that harmonises with virtually any other scent. A mild sweetness and subtle smokiness float on top, the heart is dominated by velvety sandalwood, and the base deepens and anchors the entire composition. It blends exceptionally well with other fragrances, which is why perfumers frequently use it as a fixative and deepening ingredient.
Usage
In oil burners and diffusers, add a few drops to the water. For candle making, blend the fragrance oil into melted wax at a 5–10% concentration. For soap making, adjust the scenting ratio to the characteristics of your soap base. Decanted into smaller bottles with your own branding, it also makes an excellent retail fragrance oil. The 500 ml size enables professional quantities at an economical unit price.
Why choose this?
Sandalwood plays a fixative role in perfumery: it slows the evaporation of other fragrance components, making the overall composition last longer and smell more harmonious. For anyone creating aromatherapy products, candles or their own fragrance blends, sandalwood fragrance oil is an indispensable ingredient. The 500 g aluminium packaging stores the volatile oil stably and prevents quality deterioration.
Tips
- In an oil burner, 2–4 drops are enough to fragrance a medium-sized room
- For candle making the optimal concentration is 6–8%; always test on a small batch first
- Blending partners: rose, vanilla, jasmine and cedarwood all complement sandalwood beautifully
- Stored sealed in a cool, dark place, fragrance oil retains its quality for several years
