Frozen Guava
Fragrance notes
Character
Frozen Guava opens with a bright mix of mandarin orange, grapefruit, bergamot, guava, and passionfruit. The citrus is sharp and immediate, giving way to the tropical fruit notes that follow. The guava and passionfruit carry a distinct, juicy character that feels natural rather than candied. This initial phase is energetic and clear, setting a vibrant tone that suits a warm morning or a walk outside when the air is fresh. The transition from the tart citrus to the sweet fruit is smooth and direct.
The heart introduces osmanthus and jasmine alongside a noticeable touch of sugar. The flowers add a soft, slightly apricot-like quality that blends well with the fruit from the top notes. The sugar note makes the composition lean sweet, but the jasmine keeps it from feeling heavy. It moves through this phase with a powdery mildew that sits close to the skin. The sweetness remains prominent here, balanced by the light floral presence that prevents the fruit from overwhelming the rest of the structure.
The base brings sandalwood, vanilla, amber, and musk to the forefront. The sandalwood offers a creamy woodiness that grounds the earlier sugar and fruit. Vanilla and amber deepen the sweet accord, while the musk adds a clean, soft finish. This drydown is warm and smooth, with the tropical notes fading into the background. The powdery feeling from the heart lingers and mixes with the woody base. It settles into a soft vanilla and musky skin scent.
