Amyris EO

A dry wood profile with a pointed cedar character, supported by resin and balsam nuances. Its softer aspects suggest paper and a restrained sweetness, rather than the creamy, milky character of true sandalwood. The overall presence is subdued, with only a slight sandalwood resemblance. On a blotter, the woody impression remains perceptible for hours, while sweetness becomes apparent later in the evaluation; the supplier does not describe distinct opening and heart stages.

Provides an economical fixing foundation that supports more volatile ingredients and adds body without sacrificing the dryness of a wood accord. It can extend sandalwood materials and reinforce woody, amber and floral bases. Balsamic and oriental compositions are also identified as suitable settings.

The supplier suggests 1–10% for formulation use, particularly as a supporting woody fixative. This is use guidance, not an IFRA limit. The page variously refers to the fragrance formulation and the finished fragrance, so it does not establish an unambiguous concentrate-only dosage basis.

No confirmed manufacturer use level for this exact product.

Tenacity

Reported to remain detectable on a blotter after several hours, with a restrained presence and later-emerging sweetness. No timed endpoint or evaluation concentration is provided.

Diffusion, tenacity and note impact are not combined into a single performance score.

Solvents

Ethanol is the primary listed solvent, with IPM also offered as an option. Although ethanol dissolution is described as good, high oil loadings in 96% ethanol may produce haze. DPG mixtures can remain cloudy, so optical clarity should not be assumed.

Working dilution

For bench evaluation and formulation work, the supplier lists undiluted material or a 10% dilution, with ethanol as the preferred solvent.

Appearance

A viscous oil with a light yellow colour.
