But it should never be seen merely as a substitute: in its own right, amyris possesses a rich complexity that blends beautifully with both classical naturals and modern wood chemicals alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular oil comes from a single-origin harvest in Haiti, produced by Payan Bertrand — a house we hold in the highest esteem for naturals. Steam distilled from the wood and branches of \u003cem\u003eAmyris balsamifera\u003c\/em\u003e, it is notably more elegant and smooth than typical amyris oils on the market, several of which can present as jagged or unrefined by comparison. Owing to increasing scarcity of supply, genuine amyris of this quality has become considerably more expensive in recent years — making this a material worth securing while available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA sophisticated woody-sweet-balsamic character with genuinely creamy, sandalwood-like depth — soft and smooth rather than sharp or resinous. Subtle smoky facets weave through the composition, deepening into distinctive vanilla undertones in the drydown. Remarkably elegant and long-lasting — over 400 hours on a smelling strip — this is amyris at its most refined, moderate in strength but with excellent staying power in a blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfumery Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn outstanding base for sandalwood-style accords, woody-oriental compositions, and sophisticated masculine and floral-woody structures requiring tenacious elegance. Its creamy, smooth character blends particularly well with modern wood molecules and amber materials, softening and rounding sharper synthetic woods with genuine natural depth. Completely unrestricted under IFRA — it can be used generously, at up to 9% in a finished compound, without dominating the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBlending Suggestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePairs beautifully with sandalwood, guaiacwood, cedarwood, vanilla, tonka bean, labdanum, benzoin, amber materials, patchouli, vetiver, rose absolute, and soft musks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eAmyris balsamifera\u003c\/em\u003e L.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amyris \/ West Indian Sandalwood \/ Santal Citron \/ Yellow Sandalwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rutaceae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAS Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8015-65-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amyris Balsamifera Bark Oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Payan Bertrand, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Haiti — single origin harvest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Part:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood and branches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtraction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steam distillation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Base note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale gold liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOdour Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Woody \/ Sweet \/ Balsamic \/ Creamy \/ Vanilla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLongevity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Over 400 hours on a smelling strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAverage Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 9% in a perfume compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIFRA 51:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unrestricted — 100% in finished product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — 100% pure natural essential oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e A superior, single-origin Payan Bertrand expression of amyris — distinct from our standard Amyris Essential Oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1ml sample supplied in a 5ml clear flint glass bottle. 5ml, 10ml and 30ml supplied in amber glass bottles — all with inbuilt droppers and tamper evident caps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor external use only.
