    Hoping to get some info/thoughts/leads on this. In a nutshell, I'm hoping to find a guaiac that represents what one might burn as palo santo. Now, I know that it might be possible to achieve via blending some smokey and incense notes into an accord but i'm wondering if anything exists that...

    Hinoki and other woods

    I've been meaning to expand the "Woody" section of my Perfumers Organ- I have yet to try Hinoki, can anyone attest to their fondness for it? I see it everywhere nowadays- A lot of wood notes for me have the distinct smell of Cat Urine (like spruce & pine), so I'm always wary of trying new woods...

    Wood on the drier side: Wonderwood, CdG Standard, Bois D'Orage, or...?

    I'm a sucker for incense and wood notes, and right now I have the incense covered with CdG Jaisalmer and Kyoto. Now I'm interested in a evocative wood scent a bit on the drier side (a bit of sweetness tucked in a corner is okay, but too much gets cloying to me). What should I be paying attention...
