Gaiac is a unique scent of precious Guaiac wood. It is created for men to use, but women also find it appealing. Woody and balmy notes form its composition.
it is available as 30 and 100 ml EDP. The nose behind this fragrance is Martine Micallef.
I originally had this as a sample in a small vial. I liked the scent - it's almost ethereally light with a beautiful fresh cut wood angle. And so I put it into a spray vial that I had, and wow, what a difference! While the scent is still bright and feather light, it also has a sweet, fire smoke aspect. Like tsth mentioned, a cool mountain evening around a campfire. I don't have many FBs, but I think this one is FBW despite the painful price tag.
Having said all of that, it still feels as if there is a hole in the composition. I keep thinking '..this would smell fabulous if I added...' So when the bottle gets here, I guess I'm going to be spending a lot of time experimenting. Looking forward to it!
For men, 9/10, stays close to the skin, love it with no reservation, lasts 6 hours at a constant level. I went in with a daub of pure essential sandelwood oil and this was what I downselected to, bought it with a passion. I get a two part sense, sandelwood and something crisper on top. No headaches, no unpleasant edges.
An incredibly honest and well crafted spicy/woody composition which strikes me as extremely wearable and balanced. Woods are joined by a remarkable clove note that slightly leans towards the medicinal aroma but never gives the idea of going to the dentist. The drydonw is a comfortable woody/vanilla combo with just a tad of vetiver. Unpretentious but solid, sweet but never cloying, rich but not complex. Moderately powerful. Very, very nice.
Rating: 7-7.5/10
Hi Dears Perfume Lovers,
A little add to my previous review. I think.. this is also huge good christmas scent. Warm, woody, sweet and soft. Deligious.
Gaiac ... the sweet wood
warm sweet wood With vanilla clove .
perfect sweet woods i agree but not that unisex
scent 10/10
man and wood the first love now it's back
Lovely - warm, sweet & woody, and very much unisex, or even feminine. Unfortunately did not last long enough on me. I felt comfortable wearing it and it didn't shout at me. Mmmm.
This is my most precious guaic note fragrance. Pure and unadulterated GUAIC!! I could bathe in it. Not overpowering but powerful in a subtle, self-assured way. I liken it to a sweet, powdery wood (if that makes sense). The jasmine is so subtle and the bergamont is not too strong.
Luckyscent.com lists these notes for Gaiac:
bergamont, jasmine, cloves, gaiac, vetiver, vanilla
Oh Boy,
this is listed here to be a male perfume. I thought this to be female and thats why bought and actually I have used eaven half a bottle .LOL.
I just love this. Maby it do not really matter if its for women or for men. If one likes the scent ;D
The best fragrance ever, but it's feminine i think.
Unique, sweet and masculine, at first I thought it was for me, and the bottle seduced me into a fb purchase at the Lucky scent store. It turned out to be for a very important man in my life, I gave him the bottle and he wears it to this day. It would probably be wearable for me if I blended it with a vanilla, but I like it better on men I think.
i"ve got a sample from luckyscent.i understand that how smells guaiac wood.
it is exotic.i love it.i think this scent is the member of mankinds roots and deserves huge respect
i do not have the heart to spend little tester:))
10/8,5
Very nice, easy to wear scent. Vanilla note is wearable in this fragrance. It isn't so pushy, so offensive like in other scents. It's typical unisex perfume. Many says that this one is linear - right but i think that this is advantage. Gaiac note is so unique that if you like it you want to feel it all day long
This is my perfect sweet woods fragrance. Cool mountain evening around a campfire. Rich and smooth.
Gaiac as other Micallef's perfume is very noble, even though it is rather a straight smell – smell of the beautiful exotic tree – warm, sweet, a bit herbal. Quite a lot in it also a tasty vanilla. It smells very much exotic and at the same time aristocratically. It like very nice prince.Superb !
