BorntostandoutBlack Guava Extrait Extreme

Description Black Guava rounds out Borntostandout's 2025 Extrait Extrême collection, a fruity-oud composition from perfumer Suzy Le Helley that opens with juicy, tropical guava and Madagascan mandarin before sliding into a floral heart of geranium, peony, and rose shot through with real oud. The base settles into Madagascan patchouli and grey amber. It's built on contrast: bright, sun-warmed fruit up top, dark and resinous underneath, energy and mystery in the same bottle. Scent Character Sweet: 31% Floral: 23% Woody: 15% Oud: 15% Spicy: 8% Fresh: 8% Translation: A fruity floral that turns oud-dark as it develops, not a straightforward fruity-sweet scent, and not a heavy oud bomb either. The oud is real, present in the published heart notes. Fragrance Pyramid Top: Cardamom, Guava, Madagascan Mandarin Orange Heart: Madagascan Geranium, Oud, Peony, Rose, Sugar, Vanilla Base: Amber, Ambrostar, Cypriol, Madagascan Patchouli Performance Longevity: Strong, as an extrait-extreme release, expect 8-10 hours. Sillage: Noticeable projection; 1-2 sprays is plenty. Projection: Arm's length and beyond for the first few hours. Best Occasions & Season Fall, winter, and spring, for everyday wear that wants to stand out, and equally at home for a night out.

FAQ Q: Does Black Guava contain real oud? A: Yes. Oud sits in the heart alongside geranium, peony, and rose, then the base carries it forward with cypriol and patchouli. Q: Is this a fruity or a woody fragrance? A: Both, in sequence. It opens bright and fruity (guava, mandarin, cardamom) and develops into a darker, resinous oud-and-patchouli base. Q: How long does it last? A: Strong performance for an extrait-extreme release. Expect 8-10 hours with noticeable sillage. Q: Is Black Guava part of a collection? A: Yes. It's one of four releases in Borntostandout's 2025 Extrait Extrême collection, alongside Purple Stain and Oud Candy.
