AMYRIS (HAITI)

Amyris has a woody character with gentle spicy and balsamic facets. It can recall aspects of sandalwood, but it is a different botanical material. In a composition it can offer a rounded woody texture rather than the sharp impression associated with some drier woods.

The oil is obtained by steam-distilling wood from Amyris balsamifera, a member of the citrus family, Rutaceae. Haiti is a documented source. Names such as West Indian sandalwood are common comparisons, not botanical identities. The scent varies with the material and formula, and a listed amyris note does not by itself certify an origin or environmental claim.

Haiti is the stated origin in this name and a documented source of amyris oil. It does not identify a different botanical species or guarantee that every Haitian batch smells alike. The label also does not certify a perfume’s particular supply chain.
