Umuthi Amyris W.i. Sandalwood Pure Essential Oil - 10ML

Umuthi Amyris (W.I. Sandalwood) Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the heartwood of Amyris balsamifera . It has a warm, woody aroma that is often compared to sandalwood, although it is a different botanical with its own character and uses. It is especially valued in perfumery, aromatic blending, and oil-based body products where a deeper, longer-lasting note is wanted.

This is a highly concentrated essential oil and should be used in small amounts. Why we love it: This oil brings depth and quiet warmth to a blend without overpowering everything around it. It is especially useful when you want a woody, grounding note that feels rich and rounded.
