Sandalwood Amyris Essential Oil (Amyris balsamifera)
A smooth, warm, and softly woody essential oil steam-distilled from the bark and wood of the Amyris balsamifera tree. Often referred to as "West Indian Sandalwood," Amyris offers a similar warmth and depth to true sandalwood at a more accessible price point. The scent is rich and creamy with a sweet, balsamic warmth and subtle vanilla-like undertones. Mellow and long-lasting, it has a smooth, luxurious character that deepens beautifully over time. Blends wonderfully with floral, citrus, spicy, and woody oils.
Note: Amyris balsamifera is not a true sandalwood (Santalum) species but is widely used as a sustainable and affordable alternative with a similar scent profile.
