Vanuatu Sandalwood is purchased from a company that has been growing 7,000 Sandalwood trees a year for the last 8 years. This species is easier to cultivate than Indian Sandalwood, and the trees are being grown in plantations and in villages with the goal of providing the island with a sustainable harvest of trees
Vanuatu Sandalwood is from the South Pacific Island of Vanuatu near New Caledonia and Fiji. Vanuatu Sandalwood is steam distilled and is from the same species of tree as New Caledonian Sandalwood.
Vanuatu Sandalwood essential oil is the perfect substitute for Indian Sandalwood because it has a rich, creamy aroma that is similar to a good quality Indian Sandalwood, yet it is stronger and longer lasting (due to the high percentage of santalols in the oil). |
