Amyris Scented Candles

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.
