The Story
Pink Grapefruit in perfumery.
Originating from the zest of pink grapefruits, this note captures the essence of sunlit orchards with its juicy, slightly tart aroma. Its bright and invigorating character is a refreshing departure from traditional citrus notes, adding a modern twist to fragrances.
In compositions, pink grapefruit often occupies the top tier of the fragrance pyramid, providing an initial burst of freshness that can evolve into more complex layers as the scent develops. Perfumers frequently pair it with musk for depth, sandalwood for warmth, vanilla and jasmine for sweetness, and rose and cedar to enhance its fruity nuances.
Today, pink grapefruit is a staple in contemporary fragrances such as CK IN2U for Her by Calvin Klein and Omnia Amethyste by Bvlgari. Its versatility allows it to fit into both woody and sweet compositions, making it a go-to note for perfumers seeking to create dynamic and engaging scents.
