From keris I received from him, I guess that Alan's sandalwood oil is the diluted version; with my mix, I'm closer to 5% sandalwood essential oil. This may also be personal preference: After looking at a few blades, I don't want the house to smell like an old lady using too much perfume...
If used at all, I'd suggest adding kenanga (or any other add-ons) drop by drop until the final odour is pleasant.
