Sandalwood is one of the most expensive woods in the world: One kilogram of Indian sandalwood can cost $200. Its unique, long-lasting aroma makes it extremely sought after. And when that aroma is distilled into oil, a single kilogram can cost $8,000. Today, sandalwood oil is a coveted ingredient for perfumes, soaps, and incense. So what's so special about sandalwood's aroma? And is that why the wood is so expensive?

We had one Sandalwood tree in our garden. My grandfather planted it. It had a unique aroma, you can smell it from afar. We were out for a day and someone stole it.

You guys didn't mention the main reason why government doesn't allow everyone to grow sandalwood, it is because growing sandalwood is very water intensive.

Some households in Karnataka will have a sandalwood block that has been handed down from generation to generation. We have one that is over 50 years old and it still smells nice !

Mysore Sandalwood soap is an Iconic soap which if you bathe in will attract a lot of attention due to its long lasting fragrance. Also, sandalwood incense sticks are common in Indian households.

Another thing that makes it's cultivation hard is , this plant can't grow alone , because it is a parasitic plant , it needs 1 to 2 other trees ( mostly malabar neem ), so you can't plant sandalwood in inter croping , you have to plant it as a main plant , and this is a water intensive crop , and any water or nutrient shortages in initial stages will severely effect the final product

Famous Mysore Sandal soap brand completed 100 years in 2016. In 1916, the war blocked the export of sandalwood from Mysore to major Western countries. The Maharaja of Mysore, Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar, chanced upon unused sandalwood reserves and ordered the extraction of oil from the aromatic wood. Two years later, after the king received a rare set of sandalwood soap from a foreigner, he asked Dewan Sir M. Visvesvaraya, to map out a plan of action to begin the production of such soaps in Mysore. The government installed the first soap factory at K.R. Circle in the capital city. After a few successful experiments, the soap was introduced in the market for the first time in 1918.

We have 7 root blocks of sandalwood in our home. We grind it on a stone and apply it as tilakam every Saturday, the fragrance lingers even after washing the face, that's how potent it is.

I’ve always worn sandalwood bracelets because I like the smell. I’ve wondered why they were so expensive. I never realized how much work goes into it.

Karnataka state is famous for sandalwood. Sometime people refer the state as 'Gandhada gudi' which means 'The temple of sandalwood'. The KFI(Kannada film industry)got it's nickname 'Sandalwood' is because of this reason.

As an Indian, when I was younger I was terrified of sandalwood trees. I was told there would be multiple snakes around a single tree 😂
