Scent Profile

Guarana has a vibrant, fruity scent profile with nuances of tart red berries, subtle green facets, and a faintly earthy undertone. It offers a lively, effervescent quality that can evoke the aroma of crushed berries or tangy tropical fruit. As it develops, it may reveal a mild herbal bitterness that adds complexity to its fruity character.

Origin

Guarana is derived from the seeds of the Paullinia cupana plant, native to the Amazon basin in Brazil. The seeds are typically dried and ground, with aromatic extracts obtained through solvent extraction or CO2 extraction for use in perfumery.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use guarana primarily as a top or heart note to impart a sparkling, energetic fruitiness to compositions. It blends well with other fruity notes, citrus, green accords, and certain woods, and is often used to add vibrancy to modern, youthful fragrances.
