I've been buying real Indian sandalwood oil since the 80s & have also bought fakes. Finding real sandalwood is important with so many fakes out there so, I'm giving this a hard evaluation...and it has passed with flying colors in all areas. You can't fake real sandalwood so IDK why anyone bothers. GYA Labs made all the right claims about manufacture but I still expected I'd be returning fakes immediately. Nope! Great price, great scent - rich & complex no trace of alcohol or carrier oil. I didn't use it for pain per se, but my normal level of carried stress makes me walk around with tightly knitted eyebrows, and they relaxed on their own as soon I opened the box & the scent hit the air. Had not even opened the bottle yet. That counts as pain relief to me which is why I gave a 5 there. That was remarkable, but real sandalwood is amazing stuff. I am picking up very faint scents of possibly rose, but it's not out of the question that sandalwood could produce a fruity flowery scent in the range I'm detecting - it's VERY faint. The real sandalwood smell is consistent, not fading at all. No other scents detected after 30 minutes, just sandalwood. Good stuff here! Reviewed Feb 22 '23, will change immediately if I don't repeat these positive findings on the other 2 bottles I got.PS Reviews of sandalwood oil should be for sandalwood oil not some other product in the line, that's why I expected fakes here...GYA make note & address! Only the oil listed should have a review in its listing, NOTHING ELSE!

Not going to comment on whether or not this "smells like" Indian sandalwood, since I've never actually been to Mysore to smell the actual Santalum album trees myself. Also, we don't all perceive scents the same way. Whether or not this particular scent feels pleasant will vary. Gya Labs version IS pleasant to me, and is similar to Bath & Body Works' "Sweet Sandalwood," but more woody.I have two categories by which I judge essential oils: longevity and potency of their scents. This is my assessment of Gya Labs sandalwood (Santalum album) essential oil.Longevity: amazing.This is the test I do with all my new essential oils. I put a drop on a small piece of paper towel and let it sit on a shelf, and check if the scent is detectable over time. Gya Labs sandalwood lasted full FIVE days, and was still faintly detectable by day 7. Only one (now extinct) bottle from a different brand came close, at four days. Most others I tested faded within a few hours to one day.Potency: amazing.This is the primary use I have for essential oils: I put a few drops into a ceramic warmer's little water dish warmed by a tealight candle. Tealight lasts between 3 & 1/2 hours to 4 & 1/2 hours. I test how many drops it takes to fill up a whole room (about 10 ft x 12 ft) with scent. Gya Labs sandalwood managed it with 6 drops, and lasted through two candles (~9 hours), until I had to sleep. The scent was still detectable next morning. Some of the other ones I tested couldn't fill the whole room with more than 20 drops.I've also noticed similar longevity/potency from Gya Labs tuberose. I am VERY happy with both of my purchases, and will definitely be trying more of Gya Labs essential oils.

I rarely leave reviews, unless a product either blows my mind or is so terrible as to offend, and I came here because of the former and happened to see the answers to this question.This is literally the best Sandalwood for the price that I've found, not to mention every other oil I've purchased from them has been top notch. Gya Labs is now my go to for essential oils. I'm wearing a blend right now comprised of their oils and it smells AMAZING. I've had so many compliments on it.Marjoram!? Either that person got a mislabeled bottle or they need their sniffer checked.Am I silly enough to think this .34ml bottle is 100% pure undiluted maximum grade S. Album... No. S. Album is expensive due to it's status where it comes from, how long it takes to grow/harvest, etc... Even top grade Australian Sandalwood is hella pricy.Is it diluted with carrier oil? Most likely. Is it blended with other Sandalwoods? Possibly. Is it the best smelling Sandalwood I've found for the price? Absolutely. Could I be wrong on any of this? Likely, I'm not a botanist or expert on essential oils. I just know it smells amazing, blends well, and doesn't cost me an arm and a leg.

I bought the sandalwood with the intention to use it in candles. The smell is nice but does not have the strength I expected. I had gotten other scents before which I really liked. I was a bit disappointed.

I read a review of different essential oils brands and decided to try this one as it made it on the top 10 list and the price was right. Nice natural and concentrated smell. No regrets, buy with confidence. Would buy again.

I've been searching for a true sandalwood oil like the ones I used to get back in the late 80s. It is very hard to find good stuff anymore. It all smells terrible and you can't return it and get your money back. It's also very expensive. I've been disappointed in the past so many times that I almost gave up trying. Now that I've found Gya Labs' oil, I'm happy to report that my search is over. This is a wonderful scent that is very close to the original sandalwood I remember before it became so scarce. And it is very inexpensive compared to the last ones I've bought.

I wish the scent lasted a bit longer when I apply it to my pulse points but, it is divine when it goes on and lifts my spirits. When I was younger, sandalwood was plentiful, not expensive and wonderful. Then it became scarce and some that I tried smelled unpleasant. Sometimes essential oil has an after smell or just isn't "right" but this seems a high quality and smells authentic. I'm satisfied and will purchase again. Thanks!

Not strong, a little bit sweet ! Just a little bit not happy in price.
