Rapidly changing facets: tar-like, vetiver-ish and decidedly masculine. Review by
Rating

This one is very complex: it starts off sharp and peppery, and quickly morphs into something warm and tar-like. It's smoky and definitely very masculine. But it doesn't stay there: it switches back to being a bit cool and biting. It's probably a tad too complicated for my beginner's nose, with its rapidly changing facets. It reminds me most of black pepper and amber, my favorites. Then it quickly changes into what reminds me quite a bit of vetiver, the most masculine scent I've ever got from EB. To my nose, it changes from faint to very potent. Although I lean more towards woody and masculine scents, I think for me, this one is best left to both the advanced perfumers and the gentlemen, but I'm glad to have sampled it.

Subdued rarther than smoky Review by

My familiarity with amyris led me to expect a stronger aroma, with more distinct vanilla notes within the balsamic structure. Also, with the above reviews, I anticipated a headier presence of wood. As it is, the oil is quite faintly aromatic- which works just fine as a fixative for more prominent scents. It blends quite nicely with palmarosa, for example.
The 'wood' or 'leather' or 'smoky' qualities that others described came off to my [inexperienced] nose as a soft turpentine, buoyed with dry balsam. Not what I had been expecting, as a previous amyris oil from another company offered a forward aroma with a distinctive sweet note alongside woody, oily qualities. Hm. Will use for a base, for fixing sweeter oils and as addition to skin care products.

When used regularly, amyris has the potential to prevent the early signs of aging. In fact, it makes a great addition to your skincare regime. Just adding 1-2 drops of it to your toner can prevent wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and saggy skin. It brings an amazing glow..

Amyriss!! Review by

Very good fragrance of soft wood and tree bark with a memory of resin and something creamy ... thick and concentrated substance but it is never the same or similar to sandalwood by itself ... it can be a good base to reconstruct together with sandalwood molecules (Javanol, Sandalore, brahmanol, firsantol, etc) a natural aroma of sandalwood.

Warm and comforting Review by

Usually I prefer sharper wood scents because many woods have a sort of body odor or rancid note in them that I can't stand, however faint it may be. But this and Hinoki are both beautiful wood fragrances that smell clean without being sharp.

To me, it is warm, soft, creamy and smooth with a salty butter note to it. It is not overwhelming and can create some nice subtle alterations in a composition.

Fantastic, but NOT like sandalwood Review by
Rating

Amyris is a unique and great woody scent, starting out with an oily, pine-y, and slightly petrol-like note and ending in more of a cedar/vetiver mix. It's long-lasting and good for masculine fragrances. I do not agree in the slightest with the assertion that this can be used as a sandalwood substitute, or that it smells exactly like it. This by no means smells exactly like sandalwood. Amyris is not creamy or soft, for instance, but that shouldn't turn anybody away from it. Its strengths are many. This is not a scent to be missed.

This is the smell of trust and contentment from my childhood.... Review by

This is such a unique oil, completely unidentifiable. To me this is the smell of contentment. I like to dab a little on my wrist before I meditate. One sniff takes me right back to my childhood smelling my father's leather coat and pipe tobacco. Eventually it drys to mellow, amber-like scent.

It is a wonderful fixative, base in a careful amount due to the smokiness of it. More for masculine scents, less for feminine. I've tried subbing this for sandalwood but it is just too different to my novice nose. But as itself, it is an oil I use over and over again.

It's no exaggeration, this oil does overwhelmingly resemble true sandalwood in its character, with a few subtle differences that may even make it more desirable.

It smells very smoky, woodsy and complex to me. I really love this scent, I have never smelled anything like it before.

The best I've ever smelled Review by
Rating

Amyris can be a hit and miss oil for sure. It seems to have a lot of variants and the one I have from Europe has a slightly turpsy smell to it that really doesn't bode well unless you are using it in resinous chords. So I was cautious when I bought this one (batch 70-6-9).

The smoke is so refined it's more like a gentle cloud of clean, white musk. It has a definite sandalwood element, but is drier, and more powdery - although there is that creamy element, too, but the dryness takes it into a sweet wax dry-down rather than a fatty, rich element. It's gentle and silky and I think it just became my favourite oil! This would lend itself to being a soft, pillowy base to lay powdery florals upon, and would work with subtle woods, herbs and spices. I also think it is the perfect companion for vanilla and musk, softening and deepening both.
