Sandalwood essential oil has a rather particular chemotype: it is not composed of the usual aromatic molecules but it contains at least 80% sesquiterpenols such as santalols, typical of this essential oil. This chemotype gives it particular properties: an unparalleled venous and lymphatic decongestant, it is also ideal for promoting meditation and firming skin tissues. Its warm and sweet scent is more suitable for men's perfumes than for women's fragrances. It is renowned for stimulating male desire in association with essential oils such as ylang ylang or noble laurel.
