The Story
Pomelo in perfumery.
Pomelo, a fruit larger than its orange cousin, offers an aroma that is both bright and tangy with a hint of floral sweetness. Its essence captures the freshness of citrus but carries a more delicate and nuanced profile, making it a versatile note in perfumery.
In compositions, pomelo often occupies the top notes, providing an immediate burst of energy and lightness. Perfumers frequently pair it with musk, sandalwood, cedar, jasmine, patchouli, and amber to create a harmonious blend that evolves from fresh and citrusy to woody and aromatic.
Today, pomelo can be found in notable fragrances like Pomelos No 21 by M. Micallef and CH Men Prive by Carolina Herrera, where it enhances the freshness and complexity of each scent. These compositions reflect a trend towards invigorating and natural notes that resonate with modern tastes.
