The benefits of Sandalwood

Sandalwood belongs to the woody fragrance family as the name suggests it is distinctive by its woody character with notes coming from barks and roots. With both warm and soft notes, the scent of sandalwood is ideal to use all year round.

Sandalwood is believed to stimulate the seventh Chakra, improving emotional wellbeing, and give you feelings of enthusiasm, energy, and self-esteem. The physical benefits of Sandalwood fragrance are both grounding and uplifting. It is used to promote better sleep and improve focus and memory.

 Sandalwoods scent also makes it a popular choice for perfumes and aftershaves and is used in a wide variety of male grooming products. 

Research suggests that some studies have supported the idea that Sandalwood has health perks, for example :
