Sandalwood - for ethical reasons due to over harvesting and income distribution, we use a synthetic sandalwood. It’s important to note that “natural” (ie: from nature) is not harmless. There are many reasons to want vanilla synthesized from the production of paper pulp, or aromachemicals created by other processes.
