Some 30 species of Sandalwood occur throughout Asia, Australia, and the Pacific region. It can grow up to 9 meters (30 feet) high and has a brown-gray trunk, smooth slender branches, leathery leaves, and small pink-purple flowers. A Sandalwood tree can take 30 to 60 years to reach full maturity at which time it can be harvested and the oil distilled. The documented use of Sandalwood goes back 4000 years to India, Egypt, Greece, and Rome when it was used to build many temples and structures. This practice has steadily decreased due to over-harvesting to the point where Sandalwood is now only used for its oil.

Sandalwood Essential Oil (East Indian) is obtained from the Mysore Region through state-sponsored auctions in India. Mysore Sandalwood has extensive uses in the perfume industry as a fixative and fragrance, and in body-care products.
