Christian Provenzano Guanabana Extrait

Description

Guanabana Extrait de Parfum opens like fruit split open in tropical heat: grapefruit and pineapple bleed into raspberry and soursop while cardamom and saffron smolder underneath. Taif rose and pepper settle the chaos into something regal, before Cambodian oud, incense and suede pull the whole thing into shadow. It is a fragrance built on contrast, sun-drenched fruit surrendering to dark, smoldering opulence. Launched in 2025 by Christian Provenzano Parfums as an extrait de parfum, it is a fruity oud for people who find most oud fragrances too austere.

Scent Character

• Fruity (soursop, pineapple, raspberry, peach)
• Woody & Oud (Cambodian oud, sandalwood, patchouli)
• Warm Spicy (saffron, cardamom, ginger, pepper)
• Smoky Resinous (incense, labdanum, amber)
• Leather (suede)
• Floral (Taif rose, geranium)
• Sweet (vanilla)

Translation: Juicy tropical fruit up front, then a spiced rose, then a dark, smoky oud-and-incense finish with a sweet ambery glow.

Fragrance Pyramid

• Top: Soursop, Raspberry, Pineapple, Peach, Grapefruit, Saffron, Cardamom and Ginger
• Heart: Taif Rose, Geranium, Pepper and Mate
• Base: Cambodian Oud, Suede, Vanilla, Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Labdanum and Incense

Performance

Longevity: Strong. Reviewers commonly report 8 to 10+ hours on skin, with the oud-incense base staying detectable long after the fruit has faded.
Sillage: Moderate to strong, noticeably projecting for the first three to four hours before settling closer to the skin.

An honest note: this is a big, sweet-fruity extrait. One or two sprays is plenty, and the fruit can read as jammy on warm skin.

Best Occasions & Season

Best for evenings, nights out and leisure wear in fall, winter and spring, when the oud and incense have room to bloom. Unisex. In peak summer heat the sweetness and smoke can feel heavy, so use a light hand.
