🌍 Origin & Story

The Amyris balsamifera tree grows in the Caribbean region and is especially known in Jamaica and Haiti. For centuries, locals have valued its aromatic, healing wood, and because it is so rich in oil, the wood itself can burn like a candle flame, giving rise to the name “candlewood.”

In earlier times, the botanical origin of this oil was not clearly understood and was even confused with true sandalwood until microscopic study of the leaves in 1886 revealed the differences. Today, Amyris stands proudly as a beloved oil in its own right, offering a sandalwood-like experience at a more affordable price.
