This natural isolate takes the warm, smoky woodiness of the parent oil and refines it into something more elegant, more rose-tinged, and considerably more versatile — a material treasured by perfumers for its ability to add sophistication to a composition without ever overwhelming it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThough its name suggests a connection to true Guaiacum, the guaiacwood of perfumery is in fact \u003cem\u003eBulnesia sarmientoi\u003c\/em\u003e — a related but botanically distinct species long used interchangeably in the trade. The acetylated form captures the wood's smoky, spicy warmth while introducing a delicate rosy brightness that the raw oil doesn't fully express, making it one of the more distinctive and useful natural woody materials in the modern perfumer's palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening is smooth and woody, underpinned by characteristic smoky facets and a gentle spiciness that immediately signals its guaiacwood origin. As it develops, delicate rosy nuances emerge — a soft, tea-rose brightness that contrasts beautifully with the powerful woody foundation beneath. The result is a material of genuine complexity and texture, adding sophistication without ever competing for attention. Excellent tenacity, persisting well over 300 hours on a smelling strip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfumery Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGuaiacwood Acetate is widely used across woody florals, leather fragrances, balsamic compositions, amber perfumes, and oriental creations. Its rosy woody character makes it an outstanding fixative and extender for rose bases — particularly tea rose accords — where its complex nuance of rose, spice, and wood adds depth without dominating. It also functions as a useful alternative or supplement to vetiveryl acetate, which carries tighter IFRA restrictions, giving natural perfumers a more flexible woody-rosy option. Recommended use level: up to 8%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBlending Suggestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePairs beautifully with rose absolute, sandalwood, patchouli, cedarwood, tobacco absolute, labdanum, amber materials, incense and resinous notes, soft musks, and oud accords.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSource Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eBulnesia sarmientoi\u003c\/em\u003e (Guaiacwood)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guaiacwood Acetate \/ Guaiyl Acetate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zygophyllaceae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guaiacwood Extract\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAS Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61789-17-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paraguay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acetylation of steam-distilled guaiacwood oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Base note — fixative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOdour Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Woody \/ Smoky \/ Spicy \/ Rosy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLongevity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Over 300 hours on a smelling strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 8% in a finished composition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — natural isolate derived from steam-distilled guaiacwood oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1ml sample supplied in a 5ml clear flint glass bottle. 5ml, 10ml and 30ml supplied in amber glass bottles — all with inbuilt droppers and tamper evident caps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor external use only.
