Sandalwood Attar
Sandalwood Attar
Sandalwood perfume oil is made from sandalwood extracts. The warm, sweet, slightly spicy precious sandalwood notes present a melodic blend which is distinct but not over powering. The non-dominating fixative characteristics of this oil make it an ideal choice for creating attars and a wide range of other perfumes. It is relatively very costly.
