Sounds interesting, how was it distilled?
It's still a water distillation method - with some tweaks and techniques that allow for a good portion of heavier molecules to come over that normally don't come over in more traditional methods of extraction with water.
The process employed with this oil gives a much more true-to-the-resin scent. You can tell some of the gum resin portions are present as this particular oil is a bit sticky. The normal EO is not sticky at all.
As far as I can tell - it also is still soluble in alcohol, although I'm not using it much in that regard.
Complete Oil and Sandal solubility, of course. It's beautiful to wear as-is.
This is not a solvent or CO2 extraction. I find those give nice resin notes - but the fragrance of the oil remains a bit flat. This oil here that I'm offering in the shop now wears like a complete perfume with Top, Heart, and Base Notes. On my skin - I easily get 8-12 hours of wear, contrasted with a normal Frank EO from which you'll be lucky to get 1 hour. And it doesn't smell medicinal, like most Frank oils do
