U parfemima
Guao is not a standard perfumery material — no commercial extract exists. The note describes a sharp, resinous, tropical green accord. When reconstructed, it would use galbanum, green-resinous materials, and tropical green synthetics. Functions as an exotic green modifier in Caribbean-inspired or tropical forest compositions. The urushiol content of the natural plant makes direct extraction impractical and dangerous.
