| "It grows in the Caribbean area and along the Gulf of Mexico. The oil has nothing to do with sandalwood oil, the odour is different and not nearly as attractive, although it is pleasantly woody with a balsamic touch. It is much cheaper than sandalwood oil and is used as a fixative in perfumes."

| "Six sesquiterpenes were isolated and identified from the essential oil of the wood of Amyris balsamifera (Rutaceae): 10-epi-γ-eudesmol, α-agarofuran, 4-hydroxydihydroagarofuran, valerianol, [[http://www.pherobase.com/database/kovats/kovats-detail-beta-eudesmol.php|β-eudesmol]], elemol." [Sesquiterpenes from essential oil of Amyris balsamifera. Michel Rohmer, Anne-Catherine Schwartz, Robert Anton, Phytochemistry, Vol. 16 (6) 1977, 773–774] | „Amyris produces an essential oil through steam distillation of the seasoned (aged) wood and branches. Wood that has been cut and dried for up to six months produces an essential oil with an aroma richer than fresh wood. The essential oil is pale yellow, slightly viscous, and described as slightly musty, slightly musky, sweet, woody, dry, or balsamic with undertones of smoke or light citrus. Some batches have hints of vanilla.“ |

| "The essential oil composition of Amyris balsamifera was investigated by GC-MS. Major constituents were separated by fractional distillation and various chromatographic techniques, and identified by mass, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and/or chemical reactions. The oil consisted of 17.5% sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and 82.5% oxygenated sesquiterpenes. Major compounds were β-sesquiphellandrene, elemol, 10-epi-γ-eudesmol, [[https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/searchId.do?chebiId=62513|γ-eudesmol]], valerianol, α-eudesmol, 7-epi-α-eudesmol and β-eudesmol." \\ | "Six sesquiterpenes were isolated and identified from the essential oil of the wood of Amyris balsamifera (Rutaceae): [[http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1551691.html|10-epi-γ-eudesmol]], α-agarofuran, 4-hydroxydihydroagarofuran, [[https://thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1055571.html|valerianol]], [[https://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1054041.html|β-eudesmol]], elemol." \\ |
