Description

Often referred to as "Candlewood" (Bois Chandelle), Amyris wood is highly valued for its slow-burning properties and warm, grounding aroma. Though sometimes called West Indian Sandalwood, Amyris is not botanically related to the Santalum species and offers its own unique identity within natural perfumery and aromatherapy.

Amyris essential oil is labor-intensive to produce. After harvesting, the wood must be dried for 1 to 3 years, then crushed and distilled—often in remote, rugged areas of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Due to its viscosity and complexity, the oil undergoes multiple rectifications to meet export-grade quality.

Its deeply calming, fixative qualities make it a popular base note in natural perfumery, while its gentle, allergen-free profile makes it an excellent option for sensitive skincare formulations and meditative blends.
