On the rocks

This oil from batch 70-7-4 smells like whisky to me. Now I've never smelled Amyris before so I didn't know what to expect, except from the description and reviews. I do know what various Sandalwoods smells like and this smells nothing like it. It does have a woody undertone, but no sweetness. I can see how it might stretch a Sandalwood oil if added at about 20% or less. Maybe it could be used well in a blend where that Scotch or Rye scent is desired. Although I don't personally enjoy them, I know of a few popular brand name perfumes that use alcohol overtly as a note in their fragrance, and they sell very well.
