Hi there!
This is the first time to post in the Fragrance DIY Forum (though I'm one of the "regulars" on the Male Fragrance Forum), and I would appreciate your kind feedback.
I have strong interest in sandalwood and have tried various fragrances available. My favorites are Tam Dao and Sandalo (Lorenzo Villoresi). I'm one of those who have to find reasons in everything, and have been wondering what part of these fragrances attracts me. Then I found this website called Donna's Synergy Guide.

She lists all the interesting blends based on a "Synergy" she believes they create. On this list, the one called "Spritual Awareness" caught my eyes. It says Sandalwood and Rosewood. Now, looking at the notes of Tam Dao and Sandalo, these two are included in both! I wonder maybe this blend may be what I truly like in Tam Dao and Sandalo.
Now I have some questions!
[1] What kind of sandalwood oils would you recommend for this specific blend? I understand that there are various kinds of oils including Mysore sandalwood oil, East Indian sandalwood oil, Australian sandalwood oil..... Which one do you think would be the best for this blend? What company would you recommend I should purchase oil from?
[2] What kind of rosewood oil would you recommend? Are there different species? I tried some search on the internet, vut I could not obtain any useful info. What company would you recommend I should purchase oil from?
[3] What about the proportion of the blend? 50:50? 70:30? Does anyone have any experience in this specific blend?
Again, this is my first post on this forum, and I would greatly appreciate your information! Thanks!
