Chandan or Sandalwood is
most commonly used for
incense, aromatherapy,
perfume, and fine
woodworking. Although
not commonly used as a
construction material,
temples have been built
with sandalwood in India
and retain the aroma
after centuries. It is
said to have been used
for embalming the
corpses of princes in
Ceylon since the 9th
century. Jewelry boxes,
fans, and ornate
carvings continue to be
made in many parts of
Asia using sandalwood.
