Oils

Well, I spoke with my wife yesterday, and I do not have good news.

For years I have bought my sandalwood oil from Toko Sedap in Pasar Gede, in Solo. She went there with my instructions for purchase, and was told that the oil that I have bought for more than 20 years is no longer available. It has become too expensive for them to stock.

What I use is not vintaged,steam distilled, cold pressed, gilt edged, Rolls Royce minyak cendana, it is just oil with a pleasant long lasting smell, and what was used at the time I started to use it, by most people in Solo who used minyak cendana.

I can probably find another supplier of satisfactory minyak cendana, but I can't get my wife to go chasing it, because this is outside her area of knowledge. Thus, it will have to wait till I go back to Solo later this year.
