Amyris Essential Oil, 1 mL Sample

The perfect way to sample our Amyris essential oil in a 1 mL sample vial of approximately 20-25 drops. Amyris is also known as West Indies Sandalwood, from the botanical family Rutaceae. It has through time become known as a type of Sandalwood though it is not from the family Santalaceae, genus Santalum and not technically authentic Sandalwood.
