About Feijoa
Feijoa is a fruit note associated with Feijoa sellowiana, a plant in the myrtle family. The botanical name Acca sellowiana is also widely encountered as a synonym. In perfumery, the name identifies an interpretation of the fruit.
Scent Profile
A tropical fruit impression can soften the sharper brightness of citrus. The balance between ripeness and greener freshness depends on the materials surrounding it, allowing feijoa to take different roles in a composition.
Use in Perfumery
Grapefruit and lemon provide a bright setting for its fruit texture. Rhubarb, rose and leafy notes can add tartness, flowers and greenery, while quieter woods help support the finish.
Did You Know?
Feijoa and guava are different plants. Naming a fruit note describes an olfactory impression and does not by itself establish that an extract of the actual fruit is present.
