This is Amyris 600 from Wholesale Supplies Plus. Given the cost of East Indian Sandalwood, (yikes!) I decided to try the "poor man's substitute" - amyris. Three words: "Save your money." :D

I love sandalwood. I like deep earthy scents. Herbal, too. I even like woodsy. This amyris 600, however smells like a cold charred campfire the next day. I've given it the q-tip test, the paper blotter test, the kleenex in the bathroom test and decided not to use it in soap. Nothing sandalwoody about it to my nose. It's about the most unappealing essential oil I've ever purchased. I dislike it so much that I wouldn't use it as an anchor, in a dog soap --wouldn't do that to my dogs. :mrgreen: or in anything else I can think of. It's that bad, IMO.

In fairness, their Wild Honeysuckle FO 250 is very nice. Not blossomy or cloyingly sweet but more like a true honeysuckle. May not be sweet enough for some folks, but I really like it. We'll see how it holds up in CP.

I ordered some Bramblerry Sensuous Sandlewood FO (along with several other FO's) and look forward to trying those. I think their shipping was more reasonable than Wholesale Supplies Plus' too. The real plus for me though is their knowledge of what discolors, what may accelerate trace, and the fact that they use their EO's and FO's in soaping.

I actually like amyris a lot in blends, but i've never purchased eo's from WSP. I generally like New Directions - it might be worth trying from another source. :)

I like Amyris too, but I only use it in blends.

I was looking online last night and saw that Eden Botanicals has Amyris eo that's the first one they've found that they like. Here's what they said:

"This Amyris oil is the first we have found with an aroma we actually like. Now we finally see how it could be used as a substitute for true Sandalwood. Although it does not possess the same depth as Indian Sandalwood, it has a sweet-woody, balsamic aroma with good fixative value."

I got a chuckle out of the first sentence. :lol: Since I was looking for a decent substitute eo for the pricey Indian Sandalwood eo, I might try Eden Botanicals sample size in the future.

Eden Botanicals is a good supplier. I'm sure you'll get good quality from them. :)
