Scent Review: July Scent of the Month - "Guava Honey"

The description on the Scentsy monthly flyer shows: 
"The sweet, radiant scent of pure honey, finished with dark berries, tart citrus and a slice of fresh guava."

I don't know about you but up until now I had no idea what Guava smelled like. Of course, I googled.... :) who doesn't.

I found this regarding the Guava Plant...
Guavas (singular guava/ˈɡwɑː.və/)[1] are common tropical fruits cultivated and enjoyed in many tropical and subtropical regions.
Psidium guajava (common guava, lemon guava) is a small tree in the Myrtle family (Myrtaceae), native to Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. Although related species may also be called guavas, they actually belong to other genera, such as the "strawberry guava" Acca sellowiana.
The most frequently eaten species, and the one often simply referred to as "the guava", is the apple guava (Psidium guajava).[citation needed]. Guavas are typical Myrtoideae, with tough dark leaves that are opposite, simple, elliptic to ovate and 5–15 centimetres (2.0–5.9 in) long. The flowers are white, with five petals and numerous stamens.
The genera Accara and Feijoa (= Acca, pineapple guava) were formerly included in Psidium.[citation needed]

Smelling this scent in the Scentsy party tester, I am not thrilled about it and let me tell you why - I am not big on citrus and the tartness this scent warms. I can smell that just by taking the party tester lid off and letting it breath.

I smell the honey in it but the tartness of the citrus really drowns out anything else.

I haven't had a chance to actually warm this scent in one of my many warmers..... so it may warm and the heat from the bulb may bring out the honey and berries scent more. Not sure.
