It is indigenous to south india, and grows in the western ghats and a few other mountain ranges such as the kalrayan and shevaroy hills. Sandalwood from the mysore region of karnataka (formerly mysore), and marayoor forest in kerala, southern india, is high in quality. New plantations were created with international aid in tamil nadu for economic exploitation. Sandalwood is expensive enough so that, unlike most trees, it is harvested by removing the entire tree instead of sawing it down at the trunk close to ground level. This way, wood from the stump and root can also be used. Sandalwood has a distinctive soft, warm, smooth, creamy and milky precious-wood scent. It imparts a long-lasting, woody base to perfumes from the oriental, woody, fougre, and chypre families, as well as a fixative to floral and citrus fragrances
