only faint aromatic sell of sandalwood but otherwise made nicely in china hopefully the sandalwood was sustainably harvested [SEP] for the current price of this is a god buy the comb i got was from a solid piece of woodbe careful since they are made from wood they may break if dropped on a hard floor or subjected to rough handlingnicely made in china from hopefully sustainably harvested sandalwoodi worry about that part since there is no real way to deduce if the raw materials were sustainably harvested it would be nice if there were some sort of certification on that
