Sandalwood has to be my go to favorite scent. I deal with over 10 different and unique sandalwood scents and blends. This sandalwood reminds me a lot of amyris, or indian sandalwood. I am going to try the CG other sandalwood essential oils next. A little bit of this oil stretches a long way and it is certainly worth the purchase.

Carrier oils and most other liquids are dispensed in individual HDPE plastic pails or containers with some type of handle, each container holds the purchased net weight of liquid.
Soft butters such as Horsetail and Almond are dispensed in plastic HDPE pails w/metal handles; those butters may remain inside the pails indefinitely when properly stored. Hard butters such as Cocoa are dispensed factory-wrapped in plastic and placed inside a box. Castile Gel is dispensed in a self-contained cubitainer with pouring spout.
NOTE: While the packaging methods mentioned above are generalized, we reserve the right to dispense and ship in any available container. If a customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring an essential or carrier oil to glass, this should be done.
