Product description
Amyris essential oil is an essential oil for use as a fragrance. Use the oil, for example, in perfumes, cosmetics, and other scented products. The oil has a warm, woody scent with aspects of sandalwood, as well as something smoky and tar-like. The scent is not particularly strong, so you can use this oil undiluted. It combines well with other woody scents and also with leather perfumes. Additionally, it pairs well with heavy green scents, lavender, spices, and animalic fragrances. You usually use between 0.1% and 30% of this substance in the fragrance composition. In perfumes, it is primarily a base note and is stable in most products, including soap. At room temperature, Amyris essential oil is a light yellow to orange-yellow liquid that is sometimes viscous. The substance has a long shelf life; some even find the scent of older oil better. The oil is produced by steam distillation from the wood and bark of Amyris balsamifera L., a small tree found in the Caribbean and around the Gulf of Mexico. Amyris is also known as West Indian sandalwood. Because this can be confusing, it is not made from sandalwood and smells really different, we do not use this name. Most amyris oil, including (usually) ours, comes from Haiti.
