Description

Steam distilled in the south of New Caledonia, our sandalwood essential oil is locally extracted from wood chips sourced from responsibly managed forests. Its composition, rich in alpha-santalol, gives it a creamy, woody, and velvety olfactory power, ideal for both perfumery and aromatherapy. This essential oil is distinguished by its remarkable longevity and natural elegance.

Note: For technical reasons, the vial used for the 1mL packaging has a capacity of approximately 4mL, so it is normal for it to appear about one-quarter full. The packaging is carried out using precise and calibrated laboratory equipment.

Production

Harvest

Native to New Caledonia and Vanuatu, Santalum austrocaledonicum is a slow-growing tree, valued for the aromatic richness of its wood. Unlike Indian sandalwood (Santalum album), which is becoming scarce, New Caledonian sandalwood is subject to controlled and responsible management. After each harvest, young plants are systematically replanted, ensuring the natural renewal of the resource. On the main island, eight tribes share the cultivation areas, perpetuating a local tradition closely linked to the respect of forest cycles.

Manufacturing

Our sandalwood essential oil is produced in the southwest of the archipelago, within the Wapan tribe, where a local distillery directly processes the harvested wood. Supported by the forestry control administration, the customary authorities manage the sustainability of the sandalwood supply and replant three trees for every tree used. This short supply chain values local expertise and ensures complete traceability.

Extraction process steps:

Harvesting the wood: the trees are selectively cut according to the quotas defined by the customary authorities.
Drying: the wood is cut into chips and then naturally dried to reach the optimal moisture content.
Steam distillation: the chips are distilled for several hours, extracting a precious and concentrated oil.
Decantation: the oil is separated from the distillation water, then left to mature for a few weeks to reveal its full aromatic richness.
Filtration and quality control: each batch is filtered, analyzed, and packaged according to strict standards.
