Bulnesol is a terpene alcohol with a warm, woody, and slightly floral aroma. It contributes to the characteristic scent of Bulnesia sarmientoi, also known as Guaiac wood, and is used to impart smooth, velvety wood notes to fragrances.
Employed in perfumery to add depth and a sophisticated woody character, especially in oriental and woody fragrances. It blends well with spicy and floral notes for a rounded scent.
