The use of New Caledonian sandalwood oil has only been known since the turn of the millennium. Due to the shortage and the threat to the preservation of Indian sandalwood trees, the use of New Caledonian sandalwood oil as a substitute for Indian oil has increased. We source the oil from an organic plantation in New Caledonia, a group of islands close to Australia and New Zealand. On the islands of Ouvea, Maré, Lifou and the Ile des Pins, the sandalwood variety Santalum austrocaledonicum Vieillar thrives. Logging is limited and there are sandalwood plantations in which 3 new trees are planted for every tree felled.

Due to its comparable composition of ingredients, organic New Caledonian sandalwood can be used as a cheaper counterpart to Indian sandalwood. The fragrance is somewhat fresher and less warm than organic Indian sandalwood, but smells typically of sandalwood.
