Guaiac Wood
Guaiac wood presents a complex olfactory profile, primarily characterized by a deep, smoky, woody aroma with distinct nuances. It often carries a tar-like or phenolic facet, reminiscent of burning wood or a campfire, but typically smoother and less acrid than birch tar. Beneath the smoke lies a warm, slightly sweet, balsamic richness, sometimes described as leathery or even subtly vanilla-like. Its texture in a composition feels dense, grounding, and velvety. As a base note, it has moderate intensity but excellent longevity and projection, anchoring the fragrance and providing a persistent, warm trail. It evolves slowly, with the initial smokiness mellowing into a softer, resinous woodiness over time.
