Description
Guava Vice is a juicy, rosy eau de parfum from Bujairami with a dark, sweet base. Guava and mandarin open it with a hint of cardamom, oud and rose share the heart with sugar and vanilla, and amber and patchouli finish it warm. It wears as unisex. Pick it if you want tropical fruit with some shadow behind it.
The Scent Journey
The Opening
Guava arrives first, pink and fleshy with a slightly green rind. Madagascan mandarin adds a sweet, sunny citrus, and cardamom gives a cool, aromatic spice that keeps the fruit from feeling flat. The effect is bright and a little exotic.
The Heart
Oud and rose come in together and change the mood. The rose is soft, the oud adds a smoky, resinous darkness, and geranium and peony keep the floral side fresh. Sugar and vanilla sweeten the middle, so the guava now reads more like a dessert than a fresh fruit.
The Dry Down
Amber warms the base and holds the sweetness in place. Ambrostar adds a clean, radiant woody amber, cypriol brings an earthy, smoky dryness, and Madagascan patchouli deepens it all. The finish stays sweet and rich, with the dark edge of the oud still showing through.

Longevity and Performance
Guava Vice is an eau de parfum, the lighter of Bujairami’s two strengths. Expect the fruit to project brightly for a while, then a warm, sweet amber layer that sits with you through much of the day on most skin. Eau de parfum projects a little further from the skin than extrait, which lets the guava open up. Skin, weather and how many sprays you apply all affect the result.
When to Wear It
Guava Vice is suited to summer evenings and autumn, when its sweet, dark heart feels most at home. It suits dinners, parties and date nights more than the office. In the colder months the amber and patchouli give it a cosy warmth.
Two or three sprays is enough for most people. The sweetness grows on warm skin, so go lighter in the heat.
Guava Vice Within the Bujairami Collection
Guava Vice is sold out at the moment. For guava in a fresher style, try Safari Squeeze, with coconut and mint. If the rose and oud are what draw you, Madness pairs them with raspberry and incense. You can see everything in stock in the full Bujairami collection.
The Inspiration
Bujairami lists Guava Vice as inspired by Black Guava by Born to Stand Out. Expect a similar mood and note direction rather than an exact match, since every fragrance house works with its own materials and formula.
Black Guava and Born to Stand Out are trade marks of their respective owners. Bujairami and Bujairami Scents are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Born to Stand Out. We name it only to describe the scent style.
