Tropical, sweet-musky fruit with green character

Scent Profile

Guava has a vibrant, sweet-musky aroma with pronounced tropical fruitiness and a subtle green undertone. Its scent can evoke notes of pear, strawberry, and melon, with a creamy, slightly tangy nuance that lends complexity. As it develops, the green facets soften, revealing a juicy, sun-warmed fruit character.

Origin

Guava is derived from the fruit of the Psidium guajava tree, native to Central and South America but cultivated in tropical regions worldwide. In perfumery, its scent is typically recreated using a blend of natural isolates and synthetic aroma chemicals, as direct extraction from the fruit yields little usable essence.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use guava primarily as a top or heart note to impart a lively, exotic freshness to fruity, floral, or gourmand compositions. It pairs well with other tropical fruits, white florals, and green notes, and is often used to modernize or add vibrancy to summer and vacation-inspired fragrances.
