Synonyms: Santal Citron, Yellow Sandalwood
Variety: Amyris balsamifera L. Classification: Base Note[i]
Amyris wood oil (often colloquially referred to as West Indian Sandalwood and historically as santal citron) is a soft creamy wood oil which frequently finds itself at the heart of Sandalwood recreations alongside Guaiacwood oil and cedarwood oil.
But it should not be seen as a replacer oil because in its own right it has a beautiful rich complexity which blends with all the usual modern wood chemicals like Orbitone, Iso E Super and the ambers and super ambers.
Our Amyris is particularly elegant and smooth, coming from a single origin harvest in Haiti by Payan Bertrand a company we hold in the highest esteem when it comes to naturals.
Note: Owing to scarcity of supply, the cost of Amyris oil has recently increased significantly.
Amyris “Signature” Oil, Haiti has a moderate odour presence (4/10 strength) when evaluated directly, but shows a restrained impact in blends (3/10). Can be used generously without dominating.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
