Origin

Feijoa fruit, also known as pineapple guava, is native to South America and is cultivated in regions with temperate climates. In perfumery, its scent is typically recreated using natural isolates and synthetic molecules, as direct extraction yields little usable aromatic material.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers employ feijoa fruit primarily as a top or heart note to impart a lively, tropical character to fruity and floral compositions. It blends well with citrus, green notes, and white florals, and can add a unique twist to gourmand or exotic fragrance themes.
