Guaiac Wood Oil Customer
Synonyms: Guaiacwood Oil
Variety: Bulnesia sarmientoi Classification: Base Note[i]
Pure classical guaiac wood (pronounced “gwy-ack”) essential oil is getting more difficult to obtain these days and recently Robertet has discontinued their rectified or so-called "heart" fraction which, while beautiful, lacked the entire spectrum of the wood that was loved by the great perfumers of days gone by.
We are offering here the finest single origin (Paraguay) true guaiac wood in all its glory, completely unchanged by post-processing. Upon smelling this wood for the first time you may be surprised just how rich and luxurious it is. If you only know guaiac essential oil in its fractionated form, you are in for a real treat.
Guaiac, in addition to its smoky and woody scent also has facets of spice and tea rose. It is a very versatile natural and is indispensable when making an Oud accord.
This product is solid in pure form and needs heating to liquify. For convenience we also sell it at 50% in natural odourless triethyl citrate to render it easier to use.
Pure Guaiac Wood Oil (Bulnesia sarmientoi) is a CITES appendix II product. In most countries this can be lawfully traded without extra paperwork if purchased for personal use. We recommend checking in advance with your own regulatory bodies.
If you are purchasing pure Guaiac Wood Oil for commercial reasons you may need a CITES re-export or origin certificate to accompany your purchase. Again, you should check with your national authorities. We charge $60 USD for this certificate and it takes approximately ten days for us to apply and provide it. Simply contact us for help. We will endeavour to make the process as seamless and speedy as possible.
Diluted Guaiac Wood Oil is deemed a “finished product” so no additional paperwork is necessary.

Guaiac wood oil presents a distinctive smoky-woody character reminiscent of campfire or burning incense, enriched by sweet balsamic warmth, subtle tea-rose softness, and earthy grounding notes, with hints of vanilla, pepper, and occasionally tar-like nuances creating remarkable complexity.
Base note fixative in woody and amber accords, modifier for depth and complexity enhancement.
General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
