Unknown sword! Possibly Sumatran Battak with Pamor?

No, just use jasmine + mineral oil instead of sandalwood + mineral.

The purpose of the kenanga is to give the smell a very slight edge, which enhances the smell of the sandalwood, so if you cannot get kenanga, leave it out and just use either:-

50% mineral oil + 50% sandalwood

OR

50% mineral oil + 50% jasmine

I found some sandalwood health products at a pharmacy and I can't say that I enjoyed the smell. So I shall go with your recommended 50% mineral oil and 50% jasmine. Thanks!

Good quality sandalwood has a sort of a warm, sawdusty type of smell. Some of the poor quality sandalwood smells truly disgusting. I can fully understand if you didn't really like what you found in the pharmacy.
