Derived from the wood of Amyris balsamifera, a tree native to the Caribbean and Central America, Amyris oil is valued for its gentle woody aroma and natural fixative qualities. The wood is harvested from sustainably managed forests and carefully processed through steam distillation to release its subtle aromatic components. The resulting oil presents a soft, warm woody fragrance with mild balsamic and slightly sweet undertones that evolve slowly over time. While distinct from true sandalwood, Amyris oil offers a similarly smooth base note that blends well with a wide range of fragrance materials.
