Description

Amyris oil has a woody, herbaceous, dry aroma that is often used by perfumers as a fixative to extend the fragrant life of a blend. In the past, Amyris was used in the fragrance industry to mimic Vetiver essential oil, and today both aromatherapists and perfumers may substitute Amyris oil for endangered or scarce species of Sandalwood. Amyris oil has traditionally been believed to have beneficial properties for the skin, as well as have calming properties.
