Amyris Essential Oil (West Indian Sandalwood)

Amyris essential oil is a viscous, pale to brownish-yellow liquid with a woody, sweet, and slightly peppery aroma, similar to sandalwood. It is extracted from dried Amyris wood through steam distillation and is used in aromatherapy for its antiseptic, sedative, and balsamic properties.

• The description claims that Amyris wood needs to dry for 3 years before being distilled and then rest for a further year.
