Sandalwoods are wild fragrant trees with tenacious leaves that grow in India’s Mysore state. Its wood was often used in building temples that to this day have kept its penetrating scent. Sandalwood oil has been used as a remedy for ailments for over four thousand years, and is a common fixative in perfumery.
It is present in Hindu and Buddhist rituals, the former often making the bindi dot out of its paste, the later turning it into incense. In Chinese medicine, sandalwood increases longevity, and builds confidence and determination.

Strong, powdery scent
This is not what I was expecting, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is a strong scent, and fills the room with a powdery, creamy, woodsy scent. Funnily enough, I don't enjoy the scent of the candle itself, but burn it and let the scent diffuse and it is lovely.

This candle is so great. Very powerful smell, and makes the room smell good even when its not burning. Its pricey, but worth it.
