About this product
Warm wood, soft resin and a slower mood
- The first impression is mellow and woody, without the sharp brightness of citrus or herbs.
- Its sandalwood-like character makes it well suited to quiet evenings, meditation spaces and low-lit rooms.
- The scent feels steady rather than showy, with a dry, balsamic warmth that lingers gently.
- Use it when you want an essential oil for a diffuser blend with depth and softness.
- It pairs naturally with other woody, resinous or softly floral oils when you want a rounded base note.
From wood and branches, steam distilled
This oil comes from Amyris balsamifera, using the wood and branches of the plant. The extraction method is steam distillation, a traditional way of drawing aromatic oil from harder botanical material without adding a separate scent.
The bottle shown is dark amber-toned with a black ribbed cap, the familiar format for keeping essential oils stored neatly between uses.
A West Indian sandalwood alternative
Amyris is often called West Indian sandalwood because its odour is reminiscent of sandalwood, although it is botanically distinct from true sandalwood. The tree is associated with the Caribbean, and this oil is sourced from Jamaica. The wood has long been known locally for its high oil content, giving it a slow-burning, candle-like quality. In modern aromatherapy and perfumery, amyris is often chosen for its soft woody base, especially when a gentler sandalwood-like note is wanted without using true sandalwood.
How to use it in your space
Add a small amount to a suitable essential oil diffuser, following the guidance for your diffuser model. For body use, dilute properly in a carrier oil first and patch test before applying to skin.
Keep the bottle closed when not in use and store it away from heat and direct light. Avoid use during pregnancy, with young children, or around pets unless guided by a qualified professional.
