I used it to add to a sandalwood soap. Lovely addition. Adds to the formula no need to add so much sandalwood. nice choice to stretch the aroma

Amyris smells a bit like sandal, but it's also cedary, with an oily-balsamic tone and underneath there's an earthy, animalic (think valerian) note, especially toward the finish. There's enough complexity for amyris oil not to have to be called a poor man's sandalwood. The scent is relaxing and stands well on its own and has plenty of blending potential with other fragrances. Love the oil and dealing with Camden-Grey makes it even better!

I've re-ordered this oil from you a few times. It's a very big staple in my formulas and the price can't be beat. I just love the subtle sweetness of this oil as well.

I have sampled lots of Amyris and this by far is the least expensive I have seen anywhere. I have ordered this a couple of times here at Camden Grey and will be back for more.
