Guava Sorbet

House of Brandt *Guava Sorbet* is a well-balanced, refreshing scent that leans tropical without being too sweet or overpowering. The guava and passionfruit in the opening feel juicy and fresh, complemented by citrus notes that keep it light and airy. As it develops, a subtle floral touch adds depth, while the dry-down of vanilla, sandalwood, and musk gives it a soft, smooth finish. It’s easy to wear, not cloying, and feels effortlessly pleasant. However, it’s not a blind buy—it has a unique character that may not be for everyone. A great choice for those who appreciate nuanced fruity fragrances.

This scent reminds me of a Victoria’s Secret body spray. It’s a bit too sweet for my personal taste at first, but once it dries down, the amber floral notes start to come through and give it a little more depth. Overall, it really does smell like guava sorbet, just as the perfume promises. Edit: I started wearing this more now that spring started and I really do like it, it's bright, fruity, and sweet like drinking a cocktail by the beach

Sweet juicy guava balanced nicely with the citrus of the grapefruit. I get more of the sugar and musks in the drydown. The guava and citrus becomes more subdued but still there alongside some wafty jasmine and amber. I think it's a terrific sexy wearable summer fragrance. I think the projection is perfect for a hot summer frag- arm length and leaves a subtle trail. longevity was good on my skin.

As a man I really like this... I will say it’s pretty Perfumey/Fem at the beginning but that does go away throughout the wear. The guava seems to really shine on me but more so a candied sugary guava. This is not Poolboy guava or R&B guava but it is very nice and I receive plenty of compliments from it!! All in all I like it 7.9/10

I like fruity but not gourmand scents and this hits both actually really well for my picky nose. A bit sweet, a plenty juicy, I love the entire story that develops with this scent. VERY bright and feminine so expect a punch of summer vacation vibes. I definitely think I’ll be buying a full bottle when spring comes around.

It's so good. I've been having a hard time with heavy scents lately and this is very refreshing, fresh and sweet at the same time. Smells like a pink tropical drink, I do get a breezy feel from it. Like if Fruit Stripe gum was a drink

Whew this is perfect. I mean... absolutely perfect. It opens with a bold, fruity burst that’s fun and whimsical, then settles into a sophisticated sugary musk. Smells like a sweet, tropical hotel lobby in the best way. I'm obsessed.

I have a sample of this delectable juice and it is gorgeous! Want! Want! Want! Now ..please can anyone tell me where I can get a bottle in the UK?? This is grown-up fruit juice! The finest fruity cocktail....I am in love!

Fruity, sugary, not too overwhelming. Floral notes in the background but not offensive. Honestly only leaving a review because I wanted to say that the atomizer is AMAZING.

A sunny and bright guava kissed by sugar, rounded out with invigorating citrus :)

I don't know how they got it to have an ice-cream smell without it being laconic, but they did it. Definitely a guava, passionfruit, mandarin sorbet fragrance. It doesn't have the best lasting power for sure, but I didn't really expect it to given the scent profile. Really great spring and summer scent, but it is a bit too sweet for the hottest summer days. I don't get the heavy musk like some people seem to, just fruity, bright, and happy!

Fruity and lightly sweet tropical scent that has a tinge of stank that sometimes exotic fruits have. Thankfully that is only in the opening. Very evocative of summer fruity drinks, this fragrance is juicy and has a slight coolness. Refreshing and not too sugary! This brand seems to know when to stop and not go overboard. After a few hours, it fades to a soft vanilla with a touch of fruit. Very wearable but I wish it was more linear. 7/10

I can only say - try it on your skin. When I tried it on tester strip it came across to sweet but on skin it`s just right, even refreshing as some of the reviews mention below. It has a surge of energy - it`s zesty and invigorating, reminding you of enjoying your life and moments in it starting with this yummy and positive scent.

This is giving guava Island Vintage Shave Ice with a snow cap and passion fruit seeds eaten with a bamboo spoon under the palms at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center on a warm but breezy afternoon. It’s a transporting immersive experience, not a sticky, cloying gourmand dessert bomb. I’m impressed and obsessed.

This is going to be an odd description but.. it smells like a fresh box of crayons that someone spilled guava and peach juice on. And I really like it! It’s playful, fun, sweet... for the price though. Ellis Brooklyn Guava does the same thing.

Super sharp in the initial spray. I almost scrubbed it off. I am glad I did not. The dry down is much more pleasant. It gets sweeter and a bit more syrupy. I do get a lot of passion fruit and sugar in this.

Guava Sorbet...More like Guava Shampoo because that's what it smells like! This would be a perfect, clean, summer scent, and is that passionfruit I smell too? I wish guava notes were more common...

Lovely fresh and lemony scent. I don’t feel much guava but it just a very pleasant citrusy smell with a yummy candy-like base. Nice one!! My ig: scent.guide

Pretty scent but it fades so fast, smells like a generic body spray in the dry down. So glad I got a sample first because this is just not worth it.

More tangy passionfruit than sweet fragrant guava, the sorbet concept works here. My search for the perfect guava scent continues.

It smells nice but does not worth the price. Reminds me of Siesta Key by Michael Malul, which smells better imo and way cheaper.

The opening is sharp... very perfumey not fruity and sweet like you would think... the citruses are not light.. it’s heavy and sharp at opening and then it softens pretty quick to a more creamy rounded fruity scent. It’s is definitely not the super duper thick sweet.. it’s more perfumey with the florals in there. It smells nice after 10 minutes but it doesn’t last very long. Longevity is not great for the fruity part.. drys pretty quickly to the vanilla and amber. This does remind me of herbal essence shampoo in the best possible way.

Smells like sweet tarts shampoo with a touch of a generic perfuminess. It's nice, it's young, it's pretty unremarkable. This is a crowd-pleaser for summertime, as it's mostly guava-forward with some passionfruit thrown in there. I don't smell much of the creaminess others do, just a faint light musk in the drydown. Doesn't even last 4 hours on me. This is something I'd throw in my bag for a weekend getaway b/c I'm not afraid of losing it.

Is initially a lovely and enjoyable spot on guava sorbet smell. It’s creamy, fruity, sweet, and soft. As the scent develops tho you start to lose that creaminess and that “sorbet feel”. Then the scent dries down and it loses me completely as it turns into an ultra clean and musky soapy thing...No traces of guava sorbet left. It’s like a clean linen esque scent that just threw me for a loop considering the opening.

In this, I definitely get a creamy guava. It smelled like a guava body spray or body butter until the brightness of the passionfruit kicks in. That passionfruit I enjoy only holds on in the opening and then I’m left with what feels like a pleasant body product/butter. Creamy, fruit, crowding pleasing. I would recommend Nyedo’s Alien Fruit as a unique alternative for a powerful guava.

This started off pretty alcoholic for me for 10-15 minutes, like a tropical-esque alcoholic drink rather than perfumer's alcohol. Don't expect anything creamy or frozen here, it's sugary and fruity but does have that overall 'perfume' quality rather than something truly edible. The drydown even less-so. This is just ok for me, I don't see myself finishing this sample quickly.

With a name like Guava Sorbet, I was expecting a fruity explosion. But this is more of a serious floral 'perfumey' scent than I anticipated. The jasmine comes through really strongly on my skin. For me this is just ok, it doesn't stand out in a crowd of feminine florals. And it also doesn't smell expensive.

Extremely high projection when spraying, it’s almost headache inducing. You’d expect it to have good longevity but no... lasts only an hour :/ One good thing about it is that it smells very fruity, sugary and delicious. I smell the guava, passion fruit, and sugar. Unfortunate that it doesn’t last :(

I had high hopes for this but sadly I was disappointed. It starts off fresh and fruity but the dry down has a musky presence on my skin. The biggest issue is actually the longevity of this fragrance. After about an hour it turns into just a skin scent, nothing special! Not FB worthy imo.

Opening is very reminiscent of mango, pineapple and guava sorbet...it's fun and very fruity. Turns into a clean, soapy tropical. It reminds of a body wash from early 2000s BodyShop.

Where did this go? Six sprays on my arm for a mild scent which disappeared within minutes. What I did smell was nice, but it didn’t last anywhere near long enough for me.

Sour, tangy, citrus perfume with a musk base. I personally don’t get guava, but rather passion fruit causing the tangy aspect.

To me, this is just Ellis Brooklyn Guava Granita. Both are weak and overpriced IMO. It doesn't smell bad, it's just weak.

Very sweet fruity floral shampoo/conditioner. I actually don’t like the creaminess and would prefer more juiciness.

I was very disappointed in Guava Sorbet. Sure, I definitely got a strong sour guava note in the opening, but no ice. It wasn't even cool. And then, once the top notes died away and it started towards the drydown, that bergamot-osmanthus-musk combination hit. And it was sheer terror. Now that it has been sitting on paper for over 24 hours, it is a more tolerable version of that musk, along with some amber, vanilla, and jasmine clinging for dear life. Still, it's a day late and a dollar short to be considered pleasant. I rate it about 3/10.

I honestly waited and waited for the guava (which I love)... and it's a no show. On my skin this smelled more like a buch of leftover fruit put through a blender to a point you can't recognize what is what any longer it's just "fruit", with a ton of sugar. End of story. Not too keen on giving a 2nd try when there are so many other interesting fragrances around I'm thankfull I only have 1ml of this.

A heavy guava and passionfruit opening, with a dash of sweet citrus. It smells like sweet, creamy tropical fruits, probably owing to the milky qualities of osmanthus. There is a jasmine floral note here as well. The vanilla, musk, and amber drydown comes quickly. It's a creamy, balsamic guava and passionfruit sorbet. Then, suddenly in the drydown it becomes synthetic and a bit headachey.

This smells like a cleaning product on me. It’s generic and a little headache inducing. Like others have said it pulls a lot more floral and a lot less vanilla than I’d expected/hoped. No bueno, but I could see it being nice on someone whose skin doesn’t pull out the cleaning-product-fake-citrus-overly-floral-chemically-scent thing I get from it - 3/10

I had high hope for this one but before even testing it on my skin, I could tell that it was not the juicy, tart, fruity scent that I was hoping for. It does remind me of Passion Fruit by Pacifica. I almost prefer Passion Fruit over Guava Sorbet because it wears lighter and less heavy on the musk on my skin.

Guava Sorbet by Brandt smells great....for about 30 minutes. It's priced like a high quality, long lasting fragrance, and performs like a body spray. If it lasted, I would happily pay for a 100mL bottle, but I'll say goodbye to this fragrance after I finish the 7-8mL remaining in my travel spray.

Smells like an air freshener and eerily similar also to the Victoria's Secret body mists the girls in my high school used. Was hoping for a more realistic guava.

Thought this would be a lot more fruit forward but even immediately I get tang not guava and heady floral .. instant migraine .. this was vieja coochie old lady and a olfactory mess .. the dry down is flat this fragrance tried to hard to be too many things .. I meant to come off complex and unique and it came off unwearable ..

This one was a huge disappointment. The opening is absolutely delicious, but the dry down is musky and pretty masculine. Okay after wearing this all day it went from a dislike to a hate. It dries down to literal axe body spray. Diabolical from a fragrance called Guava Sorbet

So sweet. My first impression was a tropical fruit drink from one of those chain smoothie shop in a US mall. Oh, the drink has no ice in it. Very cloying.

I’ve had this for a few months now, and the conclusion that I’ve reached is: this is an extremely, extremely polarizing fragrance. It’s teetering on the edge of bipolar. My 10ml arrived leaking, and upon further inspection, with a broken atomizer. Oh well. They gave me a refund. At initial spray, I get crystallized sugar, citrus, and Suave shampoo. About 40 seconds later, I get straight sandalwood. Then, I get Axe bodyspray. Then some guava. Then some passionfruit. And then, again, just straight Axe body spray. And then the cycle repeats for about an hour until it totally disappears. This could just be my experience, considering that it arrived leaky and that could have played with the scent in itself. I really, truly did want to love this so much! I was hoping it would be my summer go-to, but oh well. I’m sure others may love this as our noses are all different!

Not a bad fragrance by any means, smells good but the magic is in the opening and it goes away in the blink of an eye. What you’re left with is a faint musky smell. The guava in the opening is really good though. If the scent in the opening stuck around a little longer and if it had any real performance I would have bought a full bottle but sadly I was left underwhelmed. I asked in case I was going nose blind but no one could smell me after only 30 mins passed and it doesn’t even stay long on clothes either sadly.

Last week I tried Black Guava BORNTOSTANDOUT It was real juicy GUAVA which I love to eat and smell. Now I'm trying this Guava Sorbet. I did not look the notes, just tried to guess the notes. And you know it's so dull...not expressive..Like a chicken who makes an attempt to fly, but fails. I can not understand - HOW it's possible to take such a BRIGHT Shiny notes as Guava, Passionfruit, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Mandarin, Guava, Osmanthus (!!!!) and create sooo dull perfume? HOW?!😂 👎 👎 👎

very disappointing! i don’t get any of the passion fruit and i thought this would be more juicy and sweet, similar to Narco Oasis by Narcotica. this is sweet in an overall perfumey way while also smelling kind of stale at the same time? not sure how to explain how i feel but i was not into it.

LOVE the opening: super fruity sweet and sour guava and passion fruit! BUT, the gorgeous "frutiness" disappears extremely quickly only to leave a very unpleasant musk-amber trail that I, personally, really DISLIKE. Too bad, I loved the initial spray, but that is a pass for me.

Sugar and sweet fruit that dries down into a slightly sweet musk. I like her. She’s not a gourmand, nor a tropical scent. It’s sweet musk, so if you’re looking for something sweet to the end like Leisure in Paradise, or Narco Oasis this is not it.
