Amyris Essential Oil, derived from Amyris balsamifera, is a highly valued natural ingredient often referred to as West Indian Sandalwood. While it is not related to true sandalwood (Santalum album), it shares many olfactory similarities, making it a popular and sustainable alternative in modern perfumery.
Steam-distilled from a small tropical evergreen tree native to Haiti, Amyris oil reveals a rich, creamy woody profile with soft balsamic sweetness and a gentle peppery spice. Its smooth, warm character closely resembles sandalwood, offering depth and elegance to fragrance compositions without the high cost associated with traditional sandalwood oils.
Amyris Essential Oil is widely used in fine perfumery for its excellent fixative properties, helping to anchor volatile notes and extend the longevity of fragrances. It blends beautifully with florals, resins, spices, and other woods, making it a versatile base note in both niche and commercial creations.
Ideal for perfumery, aromatherapy, and natural formulations, Amyris is a sustainable, cost-effective solution for creating long-lasting, woody fragrance profiles.
