Amyris Oil is a naturally derived essential oil obtained from the wood of Amyris balsamifera, a tree native to the Caribbean and Central America, primarily sourced from the Dominican Republic and Haiti. It 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. The resulting oil presents a soft, warm woody fragrance with mild balsamic and slightly sweet undertones. While distinct from true sandalwood, Amyris oil offers a similarly smooth base note that blends well with a wide range of fragrance materials.
