Extractions & Uses
Extraction process :
In Haiti and other growing countries, Amyris is cultivated for its wood, very fragrant, due to the presence of a very powerful resin in its fibers.
The thin trunks are cut and stored in the open air, in piles, after removal of their branches.
The extraction can only be done after the wood has been crushed to reduce it into chips. The extraction is carried out under steam pressure, then condensed at the end of the process and settled in a Florentine flask.
Uses in perfumery :
Used in reproductions of cheap sandalwood notes, in woody and floral perfumes to bring a woody note and naturalness.
Stability :
Big solubility issues in perfumes.
Major Components :
- Valerianol (15 - 35%)
- Elemol (5 - 15%)
- Alpha-eudesmol (3 - 9%)
- Beta-eudesmol (2,5 - 11%)

Other comments :
Amyris is also called ''torchwood '' because of the highly flammable nature of its wood.
Once very present in Haiti, Amyris has now almost disappeared from the island.
