What Does Sandalwood Smell Like?
Sandalwood is a tonic herb that comes from the sandalwood tree - a tree indigenous to India. It has been used for centuries in many different cultures and religions, especially in Ayurvedic medicine.
The Chinese have used it in medicine for around 5,000 years, the Egyptians have used the fragrance in their temples and incense, and the Japanese have used it in the building of instruments.
Sandalwood incense is often used in meditation and aromatherapy as it is thought to have a very grounding effect on people.
