Vintage Mysore Sandalwood – 16 years + for Sale

May 27th, 2015 by

In 1993 I started my company Bassett Aromatherapy. From this photo you can see that Mysore Sandalwood was a regular offering in my line of essential oils. I had wooden racks of oils that were sold to spas, and stores. The individual essential oils were sold on my website AromaWorld.

Today marks an end of an era. For years I have been using my Vintage Mysore Sandalwood in my precious natural perfumes, eau de parfums, and eau de toilettes. My Custom Bespoke clients reveled in it. I will reserve some of this precious oil for my Bespoke clients.

My perfumes that are in stock that contain Vintage Mysore Sandalwood will be sold. When I go to create more I will use Mysore Sandalwood from the heart wood that I have in stock…not vintage.

If you appreciate the creamy, smooth and rich authentic East Indian Mysore sandalwood I suggest you purchase some of my stock perfumes. I also am selling small quantities of the vintage oil. We will not be seeing any mature harvests of pure santalum album from the Mysore region for quite some time!

Looking at the prices online of 5 year old and 10 year old small vials?of Mysore sandalwood I am amazed how I have been offering this rare and precious oil in my perfumes for years.

If you want to sample what real authentic vintage Mysore Sandalwood that is 16 years and older. Today is your lucky day. Limited Supplies available.

JB-125x125-ad

A refreshing spray of Le Voyage eau de toilette will take you on a journey. Float away on a cloud of citrus and revel in the white rose heart. Start your creative juices with the pink lotus hydro distilled essential oil…and dive deep. Frolic in the jasmine sambac and linden blossom. Play all out and then go inside yourself…with the frankincense and vintage Mysore sandalwood powder…softening. You will be transported!

Do you love the smell of orange blossoms? ?Walking under the trees when the sun is shining bright and the breeze picks up? It is heavenly. My Opulence parfum feels like that to me. Take the dauber and anoint yourself with a drop of this parfum… your reward is the immediate blossom of the neroli and orange blossom absolute. ?It quickly morphs into a plethora of soft roses, moving through a distinct note of ambergris. The powdery dry down of the vintage Mysore sandalwood make you want to swoon. Be prepared to smile and melt into its floral goodness.

Floral ? A beautiful floral?created from neroli, Vintage Bulgarian white rose otto -?the flower of light?, vintage Mysore sandalwood, orange blossom absolute, Bulgarian rose damask concrete, rare ambergris, and others.

If the parfum in organic jojoba oil is not your style…a spray of the Opulence eau de parfum will create a light cloud around you that will uplift you. ?Enjoy!

Walk through fields of flowers with JoAnne’s 100% natural perfumes. ?You will be glad you did!
