Upon arrival at The Sandalwood Factory at Mt Romance, you will be welcomed by the unique fragrance of sandalwood wafting through the air to greet you! From this very moment you will begin your relaxation experience with “the good oil”!
Mount Romance is the world’s largest producer of Australian Sandalwood Oil. Sandalwood history goes back to ancient Asian cultures that prized sandalwood oils for their aromas and therapeutic properties.
Recent research has shown that the inhalation of our Australian sandalwood oil vapour aids relaxation, stress relief and asthma sufferers.
