About 422 Guaiac
422 Guaiac is a substitute accord representing a guaiac-wood scent reference through other materials. It belongs to the 422 Fragrance approach to sustainable selection and scent reconstruction. It is distinct from a natural guaiac-wood essential oil.
Scent Profile
Woody depth and warmth provide the relevant reference points. Beside cool mint and citrus, or the green character of rosemary and sage, a woody element offers a contrasting texture. The contrast helps make the movement from herbs toward wood perceptible.
Use in Perfumery
Base-note combinations place the accord with vetiver and musk-like materials. That arrangement can carry a green opening toward the impression of roots and wood, giving a fresh composition a quieter later phase. Its role is understood within that layered woody setting, alongside the other materials contributing depth.
