Guaiac Heart Oil

About this material

Guaiac Heart Oil opens with a warm, slightly smoky woodiness that has a sweet, resinous undertone reminiscent of balsam. As it develops, the scent reveals a smooth, creamy texture with hints of leather and a subtle earthiness, creating a rich and inviting profile. This oil is effective in adding depth and complexity to compositions, particularly in woody and oriental fragrances, where it enhances the overall warmth without overpowering other notes. It pairs well with other woods like cedar and sandalwood, as well as with spices and amber notes, to create a well-rounded base. The typical usage in formulas ranges from 0.497% to 4.06%, with a common concentration around 1.600%.
