About this product
Some scents belong to the hour after the lamps go out, when a single candle is left burning. Guaiacwood is one of them: a sweetly smoky, earthy and mysterious base note with a touch of rose in it, so close to rose that it was once used to adulterate Rose Otto.
It is steam-distilled from the wood of wildcrafted Bulnesia sarmientoi in Paraguay, where the tree is called sacred, and it makes a natural addition to a sacred or meditative blend. Its mood is relaxing and calming, and it would sit beautifully beside cistus.
Details
- Botanical name: Bulnesia sarmientoi
- Origin: Paraguay, wildcrafted
- Method: steam-distilled from the wood
- Texture: very thick, semisolid

How to use
Spoon it out of the bottle with something small, or warm the bottle until the solid oil turns liquid; it takes quite a bit of warming. Use it as the deep, smoky base of a meditative blend. Robert Tisserand advises no known hazards.
Keep it for the last candle of the evening.
