Sandalwood Log

About the Product

Our smooth Indian sandalwood log is hand crafted and known for its rich and earthy fragrance, evoking memories of family gatherings and sacred ceremonies.

A sandalwood paste is prepared using a smooth grinding stone. Add a few drops of water onto its surface. The sandalwood log is rubbed in deliberate, circular motions against the stone. Slowly, it yields a creamy, fragrant paste. The rhythmic sound of grinding is soothing, almost meditative, echoing the timeless traditions passed down through generations.

The paste feels cool and refreshing, a balm that calms both the skin and the mind. The natural oils nourish the skin, and the fragrance creates a serene atmosphere. As the paste is washed off, the skin feels soft and rejuvenated, leaving a lingering scent of sandalwood.

This simple act of creating and using sandalwood paste connects one to their heritage, intertwining daily life with the timeless practices of ancestors.

I recently bought the sandalwood log from Nchant, and it’s been a lovely experience. It has a warm, natural aroma, brought back memories of my dad making the paste for puja—it has that same authentic feel and scent. My parents, now older, enjoyed it just as much; the fragrance and the ritual felt comforting and familiar to them too. Just a few drops of water on the rubbing stone and I got a creamy paste from this log. The scent linger beautifully on the skin.
