Amyris Sandalwood Essential Oil

Amyris balsamifera

Often called "West Indian Sandalwood," Amyris is a hidden gem of the lush Caribbean and Central American forests. Although not a true sandalwood, it shares a warm, woody essence, making it a valuable alternative. The name "Amyris" derives from the Greek word amyron, meaning "intensely fragrant," a nod to its aromatic charm. Historically, this resilient tree earned the name "Candlewood" for its ability to burn like a natural torch due to its high oil content. Cherished for centuries, Amyris was revered by Indigenous communities for its calming and grounding properties, often used in sacred ceremonies and spiritual practices. During the colonial era, traders sought its aromatic richness to craft luxurious perfumes and balms. With its understated beauty and versatility, Amyris remains a timeless symbol of resilience and elegance.
