History
Sandalwood was first used in ancient times--probably more than 4, 000 years ago. In India, it's been valued for at least 2, 000 years as one of the most sacred trees--an important part of devotional rituals. The wood has been used to make various religious artifacts such as staffs and figurines, and a sandalwood paste was made for marking the skin
The most well-known and economically important species is Santalum album, or Indian sandalwood. Indian sandalwood has the highest oil content (6 to 7% ) and a desirable aroma profile. New Caledonia's S. austrocaledonicum and Fiji's S. Yasi are also distilled to produce essential oil. S. spicatum from Australia has been valued for its wood for many years, and has recently also become a source for essential oil.
Sandalwood was an important medicinal herb in traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicines. By 700 B. C., it was an important trade item and has been found in Egyptian embalming formulas. It was also used in death rituals in other countries--in India it was burned on funeral pyres or even used to make coffins for the very wealthy.
A key ingredient in perfumes and incense, lotions and body oils, sandalwood has been one of the most important perfume materials for more than 2000 years. In China, sandalwood joss sticks are very popular as incense. Sandalwood's use in European and American perfumery was not significant until the 1900s, where it was (and still is) appreciated for its fixative ability as well as its fragrance. Today it is often used in fine perfumes.
