{"product_id":"living-libations-sandalwood-absolute","title":"LIVING LIBATIONS - Sandalwood Absolute","description":"\u003cp\u003eLiving Libations Sandalwood Absolute is a richly aromatic extract that captures the deep, resinous character of long-aged sandalwood heartwood. Warm, smooth, and complex, it evokes the timeless elegance of polished wood, vintage fragrances, and softly aged interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike steam-distilled sandalwood essential oil, which highlights the lighter aromatic facets of the wood, Sandalwood Absolute offers a deeper scent profile with notes of warm woods, subtle sweetness, maple, cocoa, and caramel. As it develops, it reveals a refined, powdery-woody character with a rich, lingering aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced through solvent extraction of sandalwood heartwood, this absolute preserves a broader range of naturally occurring aromatic constituents than steam distillation alone. The result is a beautifully layered ingredient valued by perfumers for the depth, warmth, and richness it brings to fragrance compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSandalwood Absolute blends harmoniously with florals, woods, amber accords, spices, and resins, adding depth and character to both botanical and fine fragrance creations. It may also be enjoyed on its own by applying a small amount to pulse points or hair for a warm, elegant scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe naturally rich aroma of this carefully matured sandalwood creates a sophisticated fragrance experience that feels both timeless and contemporary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Santalum austrocaledonicum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Santalaceae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtraction Method: \u003c\/strong\u003eAbsolute (Solvent Extraction)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart of Plant Extracted: \u003c\/strong\u003eHeartwood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin: \u003c\/strong\u003eNew Caledonia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivation Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic.
