Amyris Essential Oil West Indian Sandalwood 50ml

• The first impression is warm wood, smooth rather than sharp, with a calm, dry finish.
• Its sandalwood-like character gives depth to diffuser blends, especially when paired with brighter oils.
• The aroma sits comfortably in quiet spaces: a reading corner, a bath-time ritual, or a softly lit room.
• It has enough presence to feel grounding, while staying gentle and low-key in the background.
• Use it when you want a natural woody essential oil with a slower, more settled mood.

This oil comes from Amyris balsamifera, using the wood and branches of the plant. Steam distillation draws the aromatic oil out without adding a carrier oil, keeping the scent focused on the natural woody character of the material.

Amyris is often known as West Indian sandalwood because its odour is reminiscent of sandalwood, although it comes from a different botanical source. The plant has been associated with Haiti, where it grows wild, and its aromatic wood has long been valued for its scent. In modern aromatherapy and natural perfumery, Amyris is often chosen for its warm, wood-led profile and its ability to give blends a soft, steady base.

Add a few drops to a diffuser or oil burner, following the instructions for your device. For topical use, dilute well in a suitable carrier oil and patch test first.

Keep the bottle closed when not in use and store it away from heat, light and moisture. Avoid use during pregnancy or with children unless guided by a qualified professional, and keep essential oils away from pets.
