When Biolandes first sent me a sample of this material I was completely unfamiliar with it. By-Absolutes (absolutes produced from the by-products or waste materials of essential oil or absolute manufacturing) are relatively new and it was one I had never sampled. On the first sniff I was in love. This was the truest encapsulation of the soul of historic long-aged sandalwood
This is pure nostalgia; secret rooms, vintage perfumes discovered in the back of a medicine cupboard, polished floors in now-vacant European palaces. No Sandalwood material has so excited me in many years. Once a regular part of the Biolandes offering but discontinued, it is now back and we are thrilled to be offering it.
Blend this with our marvellous Sandalwood Mysore Oil to give it an instantly aged quality—the perfect blend of luxurious modern sandalwood with the rich complex heart of 100 year old vintage oil. Or simply use it in a scent with such modern wonders as Javanol and Polysantol to naturalise and add complexity to your sandalwood notes.
Because it is highly viscous, we also sell this at 50% in TEC natural.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
