I purchased this oil as a substitute and I have found that it surprisingly packs a punch! It has been very effective! I wasn't sure what to expect from Amyris - it was my 1st bottle ever & I'm extremely satisfied- I do wish it smelled a bit better- but effectiveness is my #1 concern...so it gets 5 stars

Absolutely love this essential oil. Has woodsy and citrus undertones. Both male and female customers seem to enjoy this. Blends well with citrus and florals.

I often use this Amyris essential oil. It smells earthy and clay like to me. It has a thicker texture then most essential oils. Scent has good staying power.

I use this essential oil as a substitute for the other more pricey sandalwood oil. It smells great and blends with so many different other oils. Great for CP soap making.

As the description says, this oil is not a substitute for true Sandalwood oil but its woody notes are similar to Sandalwood even if the warm and soft notes of true Sandalwood are absent. I'm going to try this oil blended with a small amount of Sandalwood oil plus Sandalwood powder in a cp soap and see how it turns out.

We use essentials for several things, but primarily the amyris is a hit with my boys as a choice for scent in their homemade lotion.

I've used this amyris essential oil to add it's own scent and properties, as well as a fixative in 2 batches of soap. It has worked out beautifully. It's sweet, and woody, quite a lovely addition, especially in my cedarwood,rosewood,patchouli,and cypress "deodorant" soap. I just love it! It smells so good, and it works well with everything! Thanks Camden Grey!

Yeah it might not replace Sandalwood. BUT it most definitely can stand on it's own. And I'm in love with this oil! Love the smell. And definitely great benefits. Price is great as well. Look forward to using this in a lot more things! Thank you Camden Grey!
