About Guaiol
Guaiol (pronounced g-why-ee-ol) is a bicyclic sesquiterpenoid alcohol. Unlike many oil-like terpenes it is often described with a more distinct, almost crystalline/liquid character. Aroma leans piney evergreen with a minty edge in some cannabis cuts.
About the chemistry
Guaiol usually appears in small amounts and can sit near detection limits, so a product can smell woody-pine without listing a large guaiol peak. Lab terpene analysis is the way to confirm it.
