pepper, and occasionally tar-like nuances creating remarkable complexity.

Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
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 is extracted from the exotic hardwood tree guaiacum sanctum which is
covered with the most beautiful purple flowers. The oil is slightly smoky and
meaty (and less plasticky compared to the Robertet heart product) but contrasted
against many blended and multi-origin types, it is vastly superior.
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 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.
Origin: Paraguay
Variety: Guaiacum sanctum (CITES)
