Additional information
The name "amyris" has Greek roots, coming from the intensive prefix "a" and the word "myron", meaning fragrant oil or perfume, which points to its intense scent.
The amyris tree is also known as torchwood because it contains natural oils that allow it to burn like a torch, a quality that made it valuable for lighting in past eras.
In modern perfumery, amyris oil is often used as a sustainable alternative to sandalwood, offering a similar scent profile with a lower environmental impact.
