Amyris Essential Oil
Characteristics of Amyris Essential Oil
Amyris has a subtle scent that develops over time. Starting as a slightly sweet, benzoin / vanilla type scent, the more you smell, the more the woody, balsamic notes develop.
This complex scent make Amyris suitable as a fixative in blends and perfumes.
Common Uses of Amyris Essential Oil
Sandalwood Amyris is a substitute to East Indian Sandalwood, though not having the striking characteristic scent of East Indian Sandalwood, it does posses the same therapeutic properties and when used in Aromatherapy is an ethical substitute without the same environmental costs of East Indian Sandalwood.
Sandalwood Amyris as an antiseptic, antiphlogistic, antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, exectorant, hypotensive and sedative.
Sandalwood Amyris is used as a fixative in blends and helps bring out the notes of other essential oils when used in a blend. Use at about 1/10 of your main essential oil blend to enhance the scent as well as the therapeutic properties.
Precautions when using Amyris Essential Oil
As with all Essential oils, we do not recommend the use of Essential Oils during pregnancy.
