Guaiacwood Acetate
Used in 25 formulas
About this material
Scent: woody-balsamic, noble, slightly smoky, with spicy and floral nuances. A derivative of natural guaiac wood oil, obtained through the process of acetylation. It has a soft, woody-floral character with a distinct accent of tea rose and delicate nuances of smokiness, balsamic notes, and spices. It acts as a fixative – prolonging the longevity of the composition and wonderfully supporting rose bases, giving them depth and warmth. It blends well with woody, leathery, amber, and balsamic notes. — Perfumiarz, translated from Polish
