Her yard was an amazing tropical jungle. Somehow she had managed to grow a sandalwood tree. I can remember walking outside of my house in the evening when it was blooming and being nearly mesmerized by the fabulous scent. No matter how hot it was, my mother and I would turn off the A/C and run around opening all our windows to let the scent waft through the house.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741092811012405089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-20953274903465148332012-06-03T09:06:04.201-04:002012-06-03T09:06:04.201-04:00It is tragic to see such waste!

That was my first exposure to the scent as well. I loved how it fragranced my hand the warmth of which probably helped release the oils. I kept the pen for years until it got lost or stolen. I just acquired a sample of an 80 year old oil. Words cannot describe it's beauty.Maggie Mahboubianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14235295671074857021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-40637258017087626712012-06-02T14:19:50.936-04:002012-06-02T14:19:50.936-04:00Yes it is very sad to see sandalwood mysore from I...Yes it is very sad to see sandalwood mysore from India disappearing. It is the best one ever and although some countries such as Vanuatu or New Caledonia are growing their own sandalwood,I never can find one as addictive as the mysore. <br />I remember the times in the late 70's when dark and aged patchouli was blended with sandalwood mysore and we were using it as a hippy perfume! These were pure oils! I miss not finding them any longer...Isabelle Gellehttp://lesparfumsdisabelle.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-6614573343700918132012-06-02T11:19:01.035-04:002012-06-02T11:19:01.035-04:00I see we share the love of Sandalwood..it is good ...I see we share the love of Sandalwood..it is good stuff...JoAnne Bassetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479516934755217596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-60256355384615958222012-06-02T01:22:52.055-04:002012-06-02T01:22:52.055-04:00Informative!My first love was a honeysuckle macera...Informative!My first love was a honeysuckle maceration I was given, to this day it remains one of my favorite smells and flowers...Aerhttp://hausofwaft.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-34954115439040819652012-06-01T20:26:12.360-04:002012-06-01T20:26:12.360-04:00Ahhh, yes, sandalwood.
