Understanding the material
Eden Botanicals documents a wood-derived amyris oil with woody, lightly spicy and balsamic aspects. Although sometimes called West Indian sandalwood, amyris is botanically distinct from Santalum materials. The shared commercial vocabulary should not obscure those differences in source and scent. A woody perfume may also use a constructed accord rather than either natural oil.
Compare amyris with sandalwood, guaiacwood and copaiba. Separate creamy texture, softly sweet balsamic warmth and a drier spice-like edge.
