Amyris Scented Candles

Seven candles with amyris in the blend. It is a quiet base note, so this collection covers two very different ends: creamy sandalwood scents and soft spring florals. All of them are hand-poured in small batches in Holland, Michigan with 100% soy wax, a lead-free cotton wick and phthalate-free fragrance oil.

What amyris smells like

Amyris is a soft, slightly sweet wood, sometimes called West Indian sandalwood. It is smooth and a little balsamic, never sharp or smoky. You rarely notice it on its own. What you notice is that the scent lasts longer and feels warmer. Under santal and sandalwood it makes things creamy. Under lilac and lily of the valley it keeps a floral from turning thin or soapy. Good for anyone who likes warmth without a heavy woody scent.
