Sandalwood, Colour ; Brown, Usage : Perfume, Temple

Sandalwood is a fragrant, fine-textured wood derived from trees of the genus *Santalum*, most notably *Santalum album*. Known for its warm, woody, and slightly sweet aroma, sandalwood is highly valued in perfumery, incense, and traditional medicine. It has a rich, historical significance in various cultures, particularly in India, where it's used in religious rituals, cosmetics, and therapeutic practices. Sandalwood oil, extracted through steam distillation, is prized for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a popular ingredient in skincare products. The wood's dense and oily nature makes it ideal for carving and crafting. Due to its slow growth and high demand, sandalwood is often harvested sustainably to ensure conservation and long-term availability.
