The story behind the bottle.
Grapefruit Generation by DS&Durga was launched in 2021 and is a creation by perfumer David Seth Moltz. This fragrance opens with the bright freshness of pomelo and grapefruit, offering an immediate burst of citrus energy. As it settles, the composition reveals a delicate balance between tuberose and paradisone, adding a layer of floral sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the aromatic elm and hawthorn notes. The base notes of natural musk and cork provide warmth and depth, grounding the fresh and spicy top layers.
Apply Grapefruit Generation in layers for the best effect. The initial citrus burst fades within an hour, so reapply to maintain its freshness throughout the day. The musky base notes take time to develop fully, so a second application after an hour will enhance their warmth.
