Method
Copper, aqueous
Control
GC-MS
Output

The process
Harvest
Mature sandalwood is selected and cut under forestry certificate, then carried out of the dry forest by the local teams.
Traceability
Every batch is weighed and logged. A traceability certificate follows the material from the tree to the shipment.
Grinding
Heartwood is reduced to a fine powder. It is the form that releases the essential oil most completely during distillation.
Hydrodistillation
48 to 72 hour cycles in a copper still. A slow, aqueous extraction that preserves the most fragile volatile compounds.
Analysis
Gas chromatography on every batch. Lot-by-lot certificates and technical data sheets, shared with perfumers on request.
Sampling, every batch
Loading the vat
Technical data sheets and GC-MS analyses available on request.
