Amyris (Amyris balsamifera) is a citrus tree growing up to eight
metres tall. The resulting essential oil is extracted from its bark by a
gentle process, steam distillation.
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
Amyris is also nicknamed as Indian sandalwood because of its
similarity to the scent of true sandalwood (Santalum album).
However, these two tree species are not botanically related and the resins
obtained from them have different chemical properties. Amyris essence is
therefore not a full-fledged substitute in aromatherapy.

A GLIMPSE INTO THE HISTORY
In the shadow of sandalwood
Because of its flammable resin, amyris wood is traditionally used to make
torches. For a long time it was mistaken for sandalwood until the end of the
seventeenth century, when it was discovered that it was a botanically completely
different tree.
