Overview of Alpha-Guaiene

Alpha-Guaiene is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene hydrocarbon found in essential oils such as guaiac wood, patchouli, and agarwood oil. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a woody, spicy, and slightly smoky aroma. With a molecular formula of C15H24 and a molecular weight of 204.36 g/mol, Alpha-Guaiene contributes significantly to the depth and longevity of woody and oriental perfume compositions.

This compound is known for its warm, balsamic scent that enhances base notes in perfumery. Its stability under heat and oxidation makes it suitable for use in both fine fragrances and industrial applications.
