At the Texas Renaissance Festival they have an old oak cabinet. Inside this rarely-opened cabinet they have a two-foot section of sandalwood that is carved into a gorgeous piece of work. When they open the cabinet, if you are standing in front of it, you get a rush of air that smells of pure sandalwood. This oil smells EXACTLY like that sculpture. It is by FAR the best sandalwood oil I have EVER smelled. 5 stars!!!!!
