Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood has a rich, sweet, warm, woody aroma that is sensual and romantic. Used traditionally for meditation. This oil is uplifting and relaxing and is valued in skincare for its moisturising properties... Light, woody, sweet, rich, soothing, relaxing, uplifting and grounding; clearing away negativity and focusing the mind while opening the heart. Calms restlessness allowing deep meditation and sound sleep, while awakening the third eye. Centering and chakra balancing. An aphrodisiac. Holds frequency while eliciting higher angelic vibrations of the divine.
