Product Description
Sustainably wild-harvested in Haiti, the Amyris tree (Amyris balsamifera) produces a highly concentrated essential oil, steam distilled from its bark (wood). Historically, this oil was prized as fuel for fishermen’s torches, but today, it is cherished for its woody, earthy aroma and versatile applications in perfumery, cosmetics, and aromatherapy.
With its deep, resinous scent, Amyris Essential Oil is a natural choice for luxury fragrance formulations, blending seamlessly with other aromatic oils to create rich, long-lasting notes in perfumes, candles, and skincare products. Its calming and grounding properties make it a sought-after ingredient in aromatherapy, traditionally used for its calming, balancing aroma and to promote relaxation.
A true multifunctional essential oil, Amyris offers a sophisticated, warm scent profile while delivering holistic mind-body benefits—perfect for those seeking a natural and elegant addition to their formulations.

Frequently asked questions
What is amyris essential oil?
It is the oil steam distilled from the bark of the amyris tree, Amyris balsamifera (INCI: Amyris Balsamifera Bark Oil). It is often called West Indian sandalwood, although it is not a true sandalwood and is botanically unrelated.
What does amyris oil smell like?
It has a soft, woody, slightly sweet and balsamic scent with a gentle smoky edge. It is thick and slow to evaporate, so perfumers use it as a base note and fixative and as an affordable way to add a sandalwood-style warmth to blends.
Where does this amyris oil come from?
It is of Haitian origin, from Amyris balsamifera trees. It can also be used as a food flavouring, subject to the usual formulation considerations.
What pack sizes are available?
From 100ml up to 5kg, all priced online. The SDS, IFRA certificate and typical GC are available on request; use the IFRA certificate to set the maximum level for each product category.
