One critical point about Sandalwood - it is absolutely a waste of money to buy cheap Sandalwood. The smell ranges from bad to awful, and it has no health value at all.

If you already have some and it smells strong or overly woody, it's likely that synthetic scent has been added to it to make up for poor quality.
