Amyris balsamifera
Discover the tranquil power of Amyris Essential Oil, a 100% pure and organically crafted extract derived through steam distillation from the heartwood and branches of the Amyris balsamifera tree. Indigenous to Haiti and found across Asia, Central America, and the Caribbean, this evergreen tree yields an oil treasured for its rich, woody aroma and soothing properties.
Known affectionately as West Indian Sandalwood, Amyris offers a similar aromatic warmth to true Sandalwood—yet it’s a distinct botanical species with its own unique benefits. Revered by local communities for its slow-burning wood, Amyris branches were traditionally used as natural torches thanks to their high resin content.
With a deep, balsamic scent and naturally calming energy, Amyris Essential Oil is a favorite in natural perfumery and aromatherapy. It blends beautifully with oils like Lavandin, Citronella, and Oakmoss, making it a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to Sandalwood in fragrance formulations.
