10 ml Sandalwood Amayris Essential Oil
Sandalwood Amyris Essential Oil — 10ml
Amyris — Amyris balsamifera — is a small tree native to Haiti and the Caribbean, sometimes called West Indian sandalwood or candle wood. Steam-distilled from the wood, it produces a creamy, soft, woody oil that shares many of the aromatic characteristics of true sandalwood (Santalum album) at a fraction of the cost, making it a widely used and ethical alternative in natural perfumery and aromatherapy. While botanically unrelated to true sandalwood, its high sesquiterpene content gives it a similar grounding, calming, and skin-beneficial profile.
