Sandalwood Essential Oil 0.08 fl. oz

For such a small quantity at this cost - one would expect a certain olfactory “truth.” I have many samples and iterations of sandalwood oils - many directly from the source in Mumbai and Rajasthan. This oil seems "dilute," the scent is surprisingly faint and dimensionally limited.

I ordered sandalwood oil and it was not even one percent close to be the fragrance it should have ! I would not recommend their product to anyone and is also hard to get the refund.

Beautiful fragrance and , as always from Neal’s Yard, excellent quality.

This is an absolute treasure of a product. I treasure every drop - it’s like gold to me! Only Neal’s Yard preserves the pure and authentic scent of sandalwood in their essential oil (in my experience thus far with various brands of essential oils ) A gem of a product

I like it a lot!

Great purchase. High quality, Purchased in the sale

£54 is very expensive for Sandalwood, so when I saw it reduced for £35 it looked like a good deal.

However, you do not get 10 ml, you only get 2.5ml in the bottle - which is about 2 mm. I thought they sent me an empty bottle!

I like sandalwood but was disappointed by the scent of this one, I won’t be ordering it again.

Many need to heat the bottle up in a jug of hot water. The fragrance comes alive once warmed. It is even better breezing out of Neal's Yards own diffuser.
Yes, these oils are expensive and so is the equipment.
I have tried the competitor's that are much cheaper and they are cheap for a reason.
I have a hypersensitive nose and taste buds.
I use no more than a drop and I use a humidifier to moisten the air.
Nothing comes close to filling my whole home on both floors.
I have spent thousands on Neal's Yard Remedies for myself and my family. My cousin ran a catalogue for them and she made quite a bit of money. I did get a few freebies and gave them away.
I am still using Neal's Yard because I haven't quite exhausted the collection.
I am putting together another order.
I think like many other reviews some people are not as sensitive to certain fragrances or they have misunderstood how to get the best out of their purchases.
I have their books too which also help to glean out the most of their products.
I am self-taught in Acupressure and Aromatherapy.
Neal's Yard Remedies are not for those that are dabbling, try their competitors instead and when you're ready to take it seriously.
Break out the champagne and congratulate yourself.

This is one of my favourite scents. It has anti inflammatory properties and can calm rosacea when diluted. I love to add a few drops to an infuser to calm a room. Gorgeous.

Very good essential oil with the great smell of sandalwood 👍🏻

This oil has a very calming effect and smells really deep and powerful.
It is physically and emotionally relaxing.
Expensive but worth every penny!

I noted £54 for 2.5 mls. Then the NY employee encouraged me to bring in/buy a bottle of 10ml base oil and in that dissolve "drops" of Sandalwood. When I asked "what size drops" she pretended that there is only one size drop. She asked for 1 pound per drop (of her imaginary single size). Is this even allowed by NY? And can we not speak in terms of weight, since "drop" is not a unit of measure and varies so much with viscosity? (so that someone paying 1 pound per non-viscous drop (achieved by warming by hand), pays a great deal more that someone paying the same for a viscous drop. Really NY, how is this ethical?

I bought sandalwood oil earlier was very strong with strong smell. Simply loved it so this time I bought 3 bottles. Out of these 3 I opened 2 bottles it seems oil is not original with very mild smell and I feel completely waste of my money!!!

👑👑👑💖 I didn’t realise that Sandlewood is SO incredibly precious

This wood energy is incredible 👑

Appears dilute and very subtle and very expensive. Would not buy again.

I have decided to try to make a solid fragrance and have chosen Neil’s yard sandalwood as my base note.
I know this is an expensive essential oil but I have confidence that Neil’s yard will give me a good quality organic oil . I love the deeply woody smell of nature . Thank you x

I will let you know, if I remember after Christmas.

Precious sandalwood oil is a favourite of mine because I mix it with a carrier oil in the palms of my hands by rubbing them together and then add to my sandalwood necklace beads to absorb the delicious aroma. I wear the necklace when meditating.

I really do appreciate that it's amazing that a sustainable source has been found for this sandalwood oil, given climate breakdown's impact on sandalwood trees. But, like others, because this comes in the usual 10ml bottle I did not realise that not only is it almost £50 for a bottle (understandable, given the above) but it's a quarter full, compared to the usual oils! I realise the website does say 2.5ml but, having bought many essential oils from NY which are always a full bottle, I was shocked to realise this was not the case. It would be better to have a clear note about this in the description.

I love sandalwood essential oil but stopped buying it because the tree is endangered - unlike NYR most other companies don't worry about sustainably sourcing it - well done NYR! This essential oil is sustainably sourced and is Santalam album, not Australian sandalwood - it's just grown in Australia because its not available from India! It smells amazing and even though it is 2.5ml you need such a tiny amount. 2.5ml is approximately 50 drops.

Many of the reviews below remark how expensive an oil this is The reason is that sound woman is a very very very expensiveYou will not find equivalent of the s.album for less money.There are many alternatives, many as using synthetics or Amyris as a result.

Beautiful oil that I am cherishing. My favorite way to use NYR sandalwood is in a carrier oil, applied to my wrists. It lasts longer this way than just going into the diffuser and up in the air. The aroma is sweet, grounding, and comforting. Love that it is the end product of an important sustainablility project.

The complain about lack of scent. Sometimes we can not sense a scent but the others do- it had happened to me few times with various oils/perfumes so I am aware of it. Instead of panicking, it is worth asking friends and other people around how do they like the smell. I was never able to smell much of one particular perfume but I liked the scent so I would be piling it up many times a day as I would only sense it for few minutes if I spray A LOT. But everyone else were able to smell it and had to really suffer my overpowering perfume. So it may be possibility. And also about the price. I have that book which says what oil is more and what one is less costly. It really helps me to realize what is what. NYR products are not diluted and of high quality and that may affect the price.

My husband was sold this in the Exeter Shop - he wasn't even told it was only 2.5mls or he wouldn't have bought it!!!! The price is excessive even compare to other very high quality suppliers, over twice the price. Unfortunately my husband who's carer for 5 disabled family members and was on a very short carer break and is under a grest deal of stress, so he just didn't think to question as it looked like a 10ml bottle of oil. And from Australia, not Indiia!!! Its even more expensive than Rose Otto. I was a professional Aromatherapist for many years so I am aware of the price if oils but this is shocking! But even more so is the lack of verbal information, not what I would expect from Neal's Yard

Beautiful scent. A luxury buy but the quality is clear. The sandalwood is super sweet and vanillary with rich woody notes. I'm in love with this and using it feels like you're spending gold in a lovely way. I bought this as gift for my mum and she loves it. It barely needs blending with any other oils because of its stand alone gloriousness. The fact that it's sustainably sourced is a mega added bonus and I challenge anyone to find a better quality sandalwood out there.

Really, really disappointed with this oil. I'm training to be an aromatherapist and this was a considered purchase for me. I knew there was only a small amount of oil in the bottle, so no surprise there. 'My disappointment comes from not being able to smell anything! Seriously... no smell at all. I bought this off a friend who has started selling NYR so didn't want to moan to her, but quite frankly, it's rubbish. Any suggestions, Neals Yard?? Could I have got a dodgy bottle?

As with other reviewers could not believe how little is in the bottle!! In one response you say the 2.5ml is 50 drops and then in the next you say it is 25 drops. It is also so viscous as to be virtually impossible to dispense. Feeling disappointed!!

Lovely smell but had I realised the bottle was virtually empty - I had to remove the plastic dropper
