Santalum album is often assumed to mean India. Wild Indian supply has been under state control for decades and is now scarce. This album is grown in Australian plantations.
01 · Origin
A hemiparasitic tree that draws part of its water and nutrients from the roots of host species. The oil forms in the heartwood over many years. Australian plantations of album now supply much of the world's legitimate material. Australia's native species, Santalum spicatum, is a different oil (No. 2684, organic, in the range).
02 · Chemistry
The santalols define the oil and its grade. ISO 3518 sets the reference for Santalum album at 41–55% cis-alpha-santalol and 16–24% cis-beta-santalol. Alpha-santalene and trans-alpha-bergamotol complete the profile.
03 · In Practice
Soft, creamy and woody, with exceptional tenacity. A base note and fixative in natural perfumery. Diffusion, massage, meditation practice and skincare formulation.
