10 perfumes
Derived from the Amyris balsamifera tree, often called 'candlewood,' this resinous wood yields a creamy, soft-woody essence. Its profile balances the warmth of sandalwood with a subtle, balsamic sweetness. Primarily a heart-to-base note, Amyris provides a smooth, elegant foundation that anchors complex blends. In the Gulf, it is cherished for its ability to soften the intensity of heavy oud and saffron, adding a refined, velvety luminosity that resonates with the region's preference for sophisticated, long-lasting, and opulent fragrance trails.
