Botanical Name: Amyris balsamifera.

Main Constituents: Valerianol, β-eudesmol

Plant Part: Wood and branches

Origin: Dominican Republic

Processing Method: Steam Distilled

Description / Colour / Consistency:  A moderately viscous but clear, pale yellow liquid.

Aromatic Summary / Note / Strength of Aroma: A base-to-middle note with a medium aroma, its scent is mild, sweetly balsamic and somewhat reminiscent of Cedar and Muhuhu.

Blends With:  Amber, Jasmine, Rose, and other woods. It is often used to extend Sandalwood.

Product Abstract: Also known as West Indian Sandalwood, Amyris is indigenous to Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The shrub wood for this distillation is collected from fallen branches and dead wood that when stripped of its bark, retains the precious oils. Available year-round, the semi-aridity of the locale is constant and gives the oil ongoing consistency in quality and scent. Amyris Oil has traditionally been used medicinally, as a fragrance, and as an aid to enhance meditation. It is also used as a fixative in perfumery, and is a welcome addition to fine toiletries and soaps.

Cautions: Dilute before use; for external use only. May cause skin irritation in some individuals; a skin test is recommended prior to use. Contact with eyes should be avoided.

Storage: It is recommended that oils packaged in metal containers (for safe shipping) be transferred into dark glass containers to maintain freshness and attain maximum shelf life.
