GUAVA

Guava in perfume evokes juicy tropical fruit, sometimes with the rounded sweetness of nectar. It can give a composition a pulpy fruit impression rather than the sharper zest associated with citrus. How sweet or fresh it feels depends on the accord and its surroundings; the note does not automatically make a fragrance sugary or restrict it to warm-weather wear.

Different perfumers frame that fruit in different ways. Sol de Janeiro describes a ripe guava-nectar impression alongside flowers and soft musk, while Bruno Fazzolari describes combining juicy guava with lime, a touch of chili and later woody notes. These are examples of composition, not intrinsic ingredients of guava or a standard formula. The listed note names a fruit-inspired scent and does not, by itself, confirm natural guava extract, fruit colour or a particular extraction process.
