I just got a 10ml bottle of 1984 government pure mysore sandalwood. It's so beautiful. I also got a ML Ramnarain pure mysore sandalwood which is very lovely. I feel so lucky to be able to experience both of these. Thanks for your videos.

[@muhammedsalman4021]

What the price ?

The most heavenly aroma for me is this note. Another wonderful video by a remarkable reviewer.

Goin bak to the old intro song. I love that.

Thank you for this lovely, and informative episode on Sandalwood. I adore it too. Many years ago we could buy Sandalwood oil in Indian craft shops, and sometimes furniture too. We had no idea it would become endangered. There was also a lovely Sandalwood Fragrance simply called Mysore Sandalwood by Crabtree and Evelyn. I wish that I had kept some. I remember it. It's fixed in my olfactory memory. They did soap too. A few years ago I sampled Tom Ford Santal Blush and I really liked it, then a couple of days later I opened my closet and I was overwhelmed with nostalgia because there was a really beautiful Sandalwood coming from the sleeve of my jacket. So I'm so pleased that you have confirmed that Santal Blush is very close to good original oil, which means that my memory was right!

[@Lynn-rm2ez]

Thank you!

[@kunalkathe3198]

Wow! Naaz Exclusive 1.2 also has this creamy note of Mysore sandalwood. Btw, Mysore Sandalwood Soap is my regular bath soap ;) Thankyou for sharing with us Nikhil bhai !!!

[@drsangameshwarg226]

Dr Nikhil, great video and thanks for your insights about the Indian roots of modern perfumery! I am from Mysore in Karnataka and can fully relate to your obsession about the Pure Mysore Sandalwood oil. Keep them coming please.☮

[@chandru4390]

Karnataka is the land of sandal wood ❤💛

[@gunmetal2445]

I just bought a 5ml bottle of South Pacific sandalwood oil for 25 USD. Just a little goes a long way and its always so comforting smelling if a bit simplistic. I don't think there's any sandalwood oil that i dislike. There's something so meditative about it. I don't mind javanol either (I have a 4ml sample of the aromachemical).

[@jan8775]

So....very happy I found you, I just can’t get enough of your videos on sandlewood, I can listen forever.......#I’m obsessed & lovin it. Thank you so very much for sharing, you are such a blessing to me...thanks again.

[@nikhilsfrags]

Glad to hear that.

[@bellesativa]

Thanks again for a wonderful video. Listening to your story of how it is part of ordinary life in India made me want to go back to basics and pursue just pure oils and wood/resin chips instead of endless testing of high end niche edp. and far more holistic and spiritual. I too prefer sandalwood to oud. Sandalwood as oil for direct application and oud from time to time as chips to burn and scent the house, jasmine and rose fresh cut or growing in the garden, that would be heaven on earth. But we had our first dusting of snow yesterday so it's more like cinnamon apple cider or chai latte, yep, life in the US.

How would I be able to buy the best Mysore sandalwood oil and not get ripped off. I have a sample of Serge Lutens Santal de Mysore and wanted to buy the bell jar but they sold out and are not getting any more in. Very disappointing

[@blueskythinking8312]

I bought that blue bottle of sandalwood oil from cauvery emporium when I was in Mysore earlier this year. However, i was so disappointed that it smelled very diluted. I could hardly smell the sandalwood notes

[@redking1831]

How much do I need to buy to make a 100 ml bottle of sandalwood perfume for layering? That will still project the sandalwood creamyness.

[@ashfaque_1]

Another enjoyable episode. :Y I remember a Chinese we knew gifted my mom a foldable handfan made with Mysore sandalwood. Just stunning piece of work and smell. Recently, a gentle soul from India kindly sent me some Cauvery. It is a beautiful oil but as you said it doesn't last that long, probably due to lessar amount of fixatives in it (due to its 'age'). I have been trying to buy some (sample amount) from Ali Brothers since 2018 through friends/family members visiting India. But unable to due to their short stays. :( Hopefully soon.

[@mackenziedmello2248]

Nikhil bro, I'm a big fan of Sandalwood oils and attars. I really like the way you explained in detail about the Sandalwood oils. Keep it up!

[@zahrashahabinezhad]

Are the sandalwood oils you mention essential oils, or are they fragrance oils? I would really appreciate it if you could make a distinction.

Thanks for your amazing work as usual. I would like to ask how do you compare the sandalwood oil from M L Ramnarain against that from Ali Brothers. Thanks in advance.

[@sonogabri1]

I saw this ad for Mysore: is this reputable?Fragrance - Mysore Sandal Quantity - 1 Bottle of 25ml Concentrated Attar Oil Type - Roll On Perfume - Strong This Attar oil is Manufactured by Leading Brand in India ( Orient ) This attar oil is a mixture of natural and synthetic Compound. Hence this is not a pure Mysore Sandal oil First of all, I didn't know India was in the Orient. In any case this item comes from Balakrishnapuram Tamil Nadu. Is all sandalwood oil from India called Mysore.Please answer me. Thank you.

[@girish1955]

Superb take, thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this. Brought back memories of grandfather making a paste out of a solid block of Mysore sandalwood by rubbing on a specially made round stone block and using it to anoint the deities. That would leave a whiff of this noble smell almost all day long in the house. A quick question, is the Ajmal Sandalia oil Mysore Sandalwood?

Sir I have got confusion now I saw your video of cauvery emporium sandalwood oil which is 100 💯 percent pure original and authentic and while reviewing about it you said real sandalwood won't last like 8-10 years and in this video you said Ali brothers sandalwood a great one and said it may last long for like 10 hours...so how original is Ali brothers sandalwood coz nothing is better than cauvery emporium sandalwood oil but it's longevity is not so good but I want to go with the pure original sandalwood oil

Nikhil Bhai sandal is my favourite note too, this is been our Indian culture for soo long as you said Bhai if a baby is born in a family they do yagans in that sandwood is used, and in death they put a small piece of sandalwood, in olden days they used to burn dead body's in full sandalwood, due to prices and availability now its not used in large quantities , women apply it below the jaw by rubbing sandalwood stick on rock, sandal wood doesn't need right whether to wait (like oud) or right time to enjoy it's fragrance, it can be wear all year around and I like sandila gulab from Ali brothers, thank you for this video Bhai, love from Hyderabad ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dear Nikhil, when I go to buy this sandal wood oil (which you showed and mentioned here) from Ali Brothers Perfumery , should I ask as Attar or as Essential oil? When I visited their site, I could see that the New 🔖tag for the sandal wood essential oil listed as New. If so, do they produce a new variety than you showed here? Kindly clarify in detail for: which I should ask for. Kindly guide me. What about their Sandal wood powder? Thanks a lot brother. I wish this enthusiasm ever grow in you.
