Guava
No guava extract reaches the perfumer; the fruit's sweet, tropical smell, which Wikipedia likens to lemon rind but less sharp, is rebuilt in the lab.
- What it is
- A fruit whose smell can’t be extracted, so perfumers rebuild it from other materials.
- Known in
- Solo (Loewe, 2004)
- Worth knowing
- A guava holds about 200 mg of vitamin C per 100 g, far more than an orange.
