House of Mysore Sandal 

The Government Sandalwood Oil factory was established by the Maharaja of Mysore His Highness Nalwadi
Krishna Raja Wodeyar and Diwan Sir M. Vishweshwaraiah, during the year 1916 at Mysore, to extract
Sandalwood Oil from Sandalwood. The Maharaja of Mysore was keen to propel Mysore State on the Global
Map, by introducing "THE WORLD'S BEST NATURAL SANDALWOOD OIL" and make it as a "FRAGRANCE
AMBASSADOR OF INDIA". The first experiment for extraction of Sandalwood oil from Sandalwood was
successfully conducted at Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, under the leadership of Prof. Suddourough
and Prof. Watson. The high quality Sandalwood oil with British Pharmacopeia was introduced to the world
by the Government Soap Factory, Mysore.

Mysore Sandal is directed by the Government of Karnataka. Augmented by a legacy of more than 100 years, Mysore Sandal leads with a diverse range, featuring soap as its prime product, enriched with the excellence of sandalwood oil.
