Rich and woody, Sandalwood Element fragrance oil captures the essential scent note used in fragrance since ancient times. Sweet balsamic tones and a soft creaminess create an aroma perfect to form a foundation for countless blends. 

Sandalwood Element subtly enhances various fragrance blends with a harmonious touch of woodiness, complementing other notes without overpowering them. 

This scent will enhance your candle, soap, lotion, perfume, and room spray creations.

This fragrance oil is infused with natural essential oils.

Great to Mix With
Bri 2025-01-22

I use this in candles, and I agree with some reviews about the low cold/hot throw. However, I think it is a wonderful scent to mix with others (my favorite combo is to mix it with vanilla orchid and egyptian amber). It is a staple in my mixes, but I'm not sure if it is strong enough to stand alone.

I’ve finally found it
Jaz 2024-10-01

This is the sandalwood I have been searching for. 4 years and I’ve finally found it. I could cry lol!! A true sweet woody musk. Absolutely beautiful! I can’t stop sniffing it. I would bathe in this stuff if I could.

Perfect!

This is the true sandalwood I've been searching forever for. Smells like the real deal like sandalwood essential oil. You can use it as is or would make the perfect blender. Just beautiful!

Extremely Disappointed – No Scent Throw
MAKA 2025-07-21

I’ve been a loyal customer for a long time and have purchased many amazing scents that performed beautifully. Unfortunately, Sandalwood Element, Amber, and Golden Santal were a huge disappointment. They simply do not work.

This is not an issue of wax type, temperature, or process—I always follow the recommended guidelines, and I know what I’m doing. I’ve used many of your other scents with great success, so I know the problem lies with these specific oils.

Very disappointed, especially given the price and my past experiences with your brand. A solution is needed ASAP. I hope the company takes this feedback seriously.

Great OOTB, low hot throw with Soy
Steph 2025-05-13

Agree with the other reviews, this is fantastic out of the bottle cold throw, but my testing with Soy 444 emits a low hot throw at best and is a bit disappointing. A lot of my customers have been asking for a “straight” sandalwood scent, so will keep looking.

Little Throw
John C 2024-10-14

Loved the smell in the bottle. I combined with Amber and Driftwood, and maxed out the load. But there is little throw (cold or hot), even after adding at relatively high temperature and allowing a lengthy cure. I'm not sure what else I could have done. Maybe this one just doesn't work well with soy wax.
