## About this gift

West Indian sandalwood oil is another name for amyris essential oil, and this 50 ml size suits anyone who likes a sandalwood-style scent for a diffuser or oil burner.

Amyris balsamifera is the tree's Latin name. The oil is steam distilled from the wood and branches of the tree, and its odour is reminiscent of sandalwood. The wood holds so much oil that it burns by itself like a candle, so local people call it candle wood. It is a less expensive alternative to pure sandalwood.

Oil burners, diffusers and ritual work are where a sandalwood-style scent is usually found. It is for fragrance use only, not for eating, drinking or putting on skin. A useful choice for anyone who loves woody scents and wants an alternative to pure sandalwood.
