Botanique :

Amyris is a shrub of the Rutaceae family and the genus Amyris

Chemotypes :

There are some rare species of the genus Amyris. Amyris balsamifera is the only one grown for perfumery. There is also the Amyris elemifera.

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.
