Haitian Amyris

Haitian Amyris, often referred to as West Indian Sandalwood, comes from the wood of the Amyris balsamifera tree, native to Haiti and other parts of the Caribbean. Unlike true sandalwood, which is typically richer and creamier, Haitian Amyris oil is derived from the tree's bark and wood through steam distillation.

Its scent profile is distinctly woody and mildly sweet with subtle hints of balsamic and a peppery top note. The aroma is often described as warm, with a smoky undertone that makes it comforting and grounding. It has a slight vanilla-like creaminess and a softly musky finish. While lighter and less intense than sandalwood, Haitian Amyris carries its own unique charm and is highly valued in the fragrance industry for its calming, relaxing properties. This essential oil blends well with floral and citrus scents, adding depth and a soothing quality to various perfumes and aromatherapy products.
