SAMVADITA "MYSORE" SANDALWOOD 2023 • Private Artisan Production Sandalwood Essential Oil • Karnataka, India
SAMVADITA "MYSORE" SANDALWOOD 2023 • Private Artisan Production Sandalwood Essential Oil • Karnataka, India
Trusted artisan distiller, Karnataka, South India
Heartwood from 50–60-year-old Santalum album trees
Distilled in 2023 in stainless steel and glass
Samvadita means “harmony” in Sanskrit, and we think this is a perfectly suited name and description for this sublime sandalwood essential oil offering.
Distinctly creamy, buttery, and smooth, this is a small-batch, classic Mysore-style sandalwood essential oil from a skilled and experienced artisan provider.
Samvadita Mysore Sandalwood: buttery, buoyant, balmy…
Our Samvadita Mysore 2023 sandalwood essential oil offering is unabashedly buttery, buoyant, and balmy—a truly classic Mysore-style oil, abundantly ghee-forward in character, with only the most subtle glow of deep, jammy, cooked citrus, and well-cooked sweet brown dessert spices. From beginning to end, this sandalwood oil offers a deep, rich sandalwood quintessence with a smooth, round, and consistent aromatic progression.
The sheer aromatic density of this oil is remarkable compared to Santalum album extractions from younger trees, which are more common in the marketplace. The older age of the trees (50–60 years) shines through, offering a denser, headier, and more tenacious sandalwood embrace, yet with a perfect smoothness and ghee-forward creaminess, even when sniffed straight from the bottle.
An excellent value, this superlative sandalwood oil is available at a slightly lower price point than some of our higher-end premium sandalwood oils. It offers a balance of quality and price that will not disappoint even our most discerning sandalwood enthusiasts.
Samvadita Mysore 2023 sandalwood oil satisfies a particular kind of craving; for something profound and soothing that defines the very soul of the best sandalwood, yet with no unpredictability or controversy.
For this reason, our Samvadita sandalwood oil may be the perfect choice for natural perfumery, offering a flawless and predictable classic Mysore-style sandalwood platform to support and showcase other aromatics (for perfume oil blends as well as alcohol-based perfume craft).
It also offers a delicious, subtle, stand-alone sandalwood wear, presenting as a quiet, balmy hue around the wearer rather than a sharper camphorous projection, which is common to many sandalwood oils.
Sandalwood Essential Oil: Dynamism or Smoothness at the Outset?
A matter of personal taste…
Some controversy exists among sandalwood aficionados and experts alike: should a sandalwood essential oil have dynamic, invigorating top notes—most commonly camphor, citrus, or spice notes (such as black pepper, cassia, and allspice)? Or is the best sandalwood simply a boundless buttery bounce, with only subtle, delicate threads of these potentially sharper, brighter opening notes?
It truly is a matter of personal taste and intended use. What is less debatable, and what we feel must be present in any decent classic “Indian” or “Mysore” Santalum album sandalwood oil, is a fundamental sandalwoodiness, defined by the higher level of alpha- and beta-santalol content that imparts the classical aroma. This sandalwoodiness must be prominent, rich, and tenacious.
Many great sandalwood oils possess vigorous, dynamic, and bright top notes yet still proffer a luscious, full, and unabating sandalwood heart and soul and the exceptional tenacity that sandalwood is famous for. These are often favored by collectors and aficionados for their unique character and subtle expression of terroir and craft. More expressive and dynamic sandalwoods in this style frequently find their way into small-batch artisanal perfumes or perfume oils.
(on the other hand, intense top notes, especially those that are more camphorous or otherwise aggressive, combined with a less dense, weaker sandalwood body, richness, and tenacity usually indicate the distillation originates from younger trees.)
Other great sandalwood oils are smoother and more consistent from start to finish, more expressive of the classic sandalwood heart and base even from the outset, perhaps with only muted, gentle expressions of the brighter top-note elements. The density and tenacity of such oils generally reflects the older age of the trees, skilled classical craft techniques, and extended aging, which mellows brighter or sharper aspects over time.
Samvadita Mysore 2023 clearly falls on the smoother, buttery side of this spectrum. Its tenacity and full character revealing the aromatic density of mature trees combined with expert distillation.
At Aroma Sublime, we love all of the variations that authentic classic sandalwood has to offer. We seek to provide choice and variation while maintaining the highest standards of quality our customers have come to expect.
