Description
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.

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.

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.
