NO. 170 - Smoky Sandalwood - Fragrance Oil for Soaps & Candles
NO. 170 - Smoky Sandalwood is a warm and radiant Woody Aromatic fragrance for men and women. It was designed to emulate the serenely curling tendrils of smoky Sandalwood incense amongst the living towering trees of the forest.
Sacred and reverent incense offerings carried on the breeze, from the earthy, leaf-littered floor, to the uppermost sunbaked canopy of the forest. This undulating and swirling fragrance immerses you entirely into the precious Sandalwood forests.

Scent Profile
This inspiring aroma emulates the beauty of rich, deep red Sandalwood. Crisp, fresh notes of newly hewn wood give off honeyed, pine notes. Hay-like notes of the dry forest grass crunch underfoot before spicy aromatics tumble in with Black Pepper and citrus-toned Cardamon.
Smoky whispers of spiced Incense curl up into the still air to mingle with the flourish of Violets from the sundappled forest floor. Earthy calm envelops you with an Amber and Patchouli embrace, with faint wisps of Vanilla and a final resounding crescendo of precious Sandalwood.
Choose NO. 170 for its radiant ambery wood accords. Embrace the crisp and fresh introduction that warms down into forest floral undertones, Patchouli, Amber, and smoky Incense create an earthy calm and profound connection to the Earth.

Understanding The IFRA Guidelines for Maximum Dilution
The maximum dilution for this fragrance oil depends on the products you are planning on making. It should be noted that maximum dilutions are from a safety aspect only, based on the chemical composition of the oil.
In some cases, these are very high because all components are relatively benign. These amounts are not necessarily recommendations of how much to use in your recipe. They may smell too strongly or make the item prohibitively expensive to produce.
As long as you remain below the advised limits, you can be as generous or as frugal as you like. Use more, use less. We’ll leave the creative stuff to you.
Based on the ingredients used, as per the International Fragrance Regulation Authority, the maximum dilutions given above apply.
