BORNTOSTANDOUT 2025 EDP
Black Guava
BORNTOSTANDOUT Black Guava is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Suzy Le Helley. Black Guava opens with Mandarin, Cardamom, and Guava, settles into a heart of Oud, Rose, Geranium, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Amber, and Patchouli. BORNTOSTANDOUT's Black Guava carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.
Black Guava is a full-throttle, unapologetic fruit-and-oud beast. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, this beastly performer delivers a thick, sticky, and utterly addictive tropical punch with serious longevity. Not for the faint of heart.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its nuclear strength and huge sillage make it unsuitable for an office environment, but perfect for a date night where you want to make a lasting impression. It’s too heavy for sport and a bit much for casual daytime, but could work for an adventurous formal evening.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
