Amyris

Amyris balsamifera

Rutaceae Family

Distilled in the West Indies

Amyris is a soft and pleasant wood oil with a friendly, rosy little backnote. He is NOT a substitute for Sandalwood. That's like comparing Chocolate and Carob. Just don't do it. Like Carob, the Amyris is going to lose in a head to head competition, but on his own he is lovely and a respectable wood. Amyris is related (by genus) to citrus.

May be good in a blend with American cedar and Elemi.

Blends well with geranium, American cedar, Altas cedar, galbanum, elemi, frankincense, lavender, and spruce.
