The Full Story

Guava blossom (Psidium guajava) is the flower of the tropical guava tree, native to Central America and now cultivated throughout the tropics. The flowers have a sweet, green, faintly musky scent that previews the fruit's character in softer, more floral terms.

Unlike the ripe fruit, which has a powerful, almost overwhelming tropical sweetness, the blossom is restrained and delicate. No commercial essential oil or absolute is produced from guava flowers. In perfumery, the note is a fantasy reconstruction using tropical fruit materials, green-floral accords, and soft musk.

Guava blossom works as a concept note in tropical, fruity-floral, and exotic compositions where the suggestion of tropical flowers is needed without the heavy indolic character of jasmine or tuberose.
