Sandalwood
Sandalwood - A tall evergreen tree cultivated in India, Indonesia and Malaysia, Sandalwood is mentioned in old Sanskrit and Chinese books. Its persistent woody, spicy scent has made it widely used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. It is also used in traditional Chinese medicine and in incense and woodcarvings. Sandalwood from the Mysore region in southern India is called Rozan Byakudan in Japanese, and is known for its premium quality.
