Rare 90's vintage Sandalwood, pure heartwood smudge sticks of Santalum album. Commonly known as Indian sandalwood, these incense sticks are strongly scented and omit a fresh and unadulterated fragrance. Vintage sandalwood is prized for its superior scent qualities. Through the aging process the oils age to create a richer, creamier and more potent scent profile. Unlike many other aromatic woods, these sandalwood smudge sticks retain their fragrance for decades.
Sandalwood is regarded as a sacred wood and it puts off a warm, soothing aroma. Simply light the tip and let this wonderful variety of sustainable sandalwood uplift your space and open your senses. You can use these sandalwood sticks to clarify and enliven your home, provide focus to your meditation practice or prepare your space for rituals and guests.
Sandalwood oil is extracted from the wood for use in skincare, aromatherapy, perfumery, soap making, candles and much more. Both sandalwood and sandalwood oil produce a distinctive fragrance that has been highly valued for millennia.
How to Burn Sandalwood Sticks:
We recommend the use of an electric incense heater to experience the delicate complexities of this wood, smoke-free.
An incense charcoal can also be used by placing a small piece or the edge of your smudge stick onto a portion of the charcoal.
However if neither are available, we recommend you hold a flame one inch below the tip of your smudge stick until it lights for a moment, and then gently blow or wave out. Repeat as necessary.
