Description: Our beads and all other Mysore Sandalwood products are NEVER scented.In its regular state Sandalwood emits a delicate fragrance. It will emit this fragrance for a very long time.All our beads are procured through official sources in the state of Karnataka, the largest producer of the highest quality Authentic Sandalwood and Sandalwood Oil in the world. The production in the state of Karnataka is closely controlled by the gov't and addresses environmental concerns surrounding the growth and cultivation of these magnificent trees.As a side note, if taken care of properly, these beads will emit an aroma during their lifetime. You might even be able to pass them to your children. I have beads which were turned over a hundred years ago, and some from the time when I began working with Sandalwood about 20 years back. They both smell like new.Also please note, in regards to discounts, that these beads are never on sale.Original South Indian Sandalwood has been prized throughout the millennia for its gentle, unique and uplifting aroma.

The woods are heavy, yellow, and fine-grained, and unlike many other aromatic woods, they retain their fragrance for decades. Santalum album, or Indian sandalwood, is a small tropical tree, and is the most commonly known source of sandalwood. Indian sandalwood is very sacred in the Hindu Ayurveda and is known in Sanskrit as vhandana. In Hinduism and Ayurveda, sandalwood is thought to bring one closer to the divine. Thus, it is one of the most used holy elements in Hindu and Vedic societies.The question of HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR SANDALWOOD pieces is worth exploring.Sandalwood is a delicate, organic substance that interacts with its environment.Sandalwood malas and jewelry have two natural enemies: our sweat and environmental pollutants. Both of these factors deposit dirt, minerals and other impurities on the surface of the beads. These foreign elements ingrain themselves in the porous wood and build a shield around it, blocking the natural in- and out-breathing process of the wood and the liberation of its inherent fragrance.To rejuvenate your pieces when they start showing fatigue from wear, we strongly encourage placing them in a small plastic container or a zip lock bag that contains some Sandalwood powder, and leaving them there as long as possible. The powder will readily share some of its essence with the tired beads, and alleviate the load of accumulated impurities.. This is an excellent method of fully optimizing the potential of your beads.Please note that you are buying a GENUINE SANDALWOOD product from the jungles of Karnataka. The trees that grow in the Mysore region of Karnataka have long been considered as the source of the best sandalwood in the world. Karnataka sandalwood was, and still is, the preferred choice for religious ritual, artistic and architectural needs of Hindu and Buddhist traditions.If you are still reading this, it probably indicates that you are very interested in Sandalwood. So I will indulge your attention a bit further and explain one of the most common misconceptions about this wood.There is a belief among some of our customers that dark colored Sandalwood is of higher quality than the lighter tones. This belief is especially prevalent among our Chinese clients. I still have not been able to pinpoint its source, but presume it originated in China. I think the confusion starts from the fact that Sandalwood darkens with age. But this only applies to cut wood. So for example my beads from 20 years ago are much darker than the beads turned this year, even though originally they looked exactly the same.Living wood retains the same color during the life span of a tree. Once the tree cut, the wood will darken.The color of fresh wood depends on one factor, and one factor only, the soil and its mineral content.So while there is a handful of shades found in freshly cut wood, ranging from brown to light yellow, the only thing that the color is indicative of is the approximate geographical location of the source tree.As a side note, sometime back tests were run on different color sandalwoods to determine if there was any correlation between color and sandal oil content. To the surprise of many, the light, yellow wood had the highest oil content.If You Are Looking Something Customize, Let Us Know We Will Make For You As Per Your Design, Size & Shape.Plz contact me on my whatsapp or email for wholesale enquiries +919927027974HANDMADE WITH LOVE!!!! happy shopping !!
