The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021, Grapefruit Incense by Zara is a citrus fragrance that balances the zesty brightness of grapefruit with the subtle warmth of rose and woody notes. The nose behind this fragrance is Jo Malone, who crafts an aroma that feels both fresh and grounding. The top note of grapefruit offers a crisp, invigorating start, while the heart of Rose de Mai brings a soft floral sweetness to the composition. It all settles into a base of white woods, creating an overall impression of freshness with a touch of incense-like warmth.
Apply this fragrance with one or two sprays to allow the citrus notes to brighten your day without overpowering. The grapefruit is particularly vibrant in the first hour, so it's best suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh, invigorating scent.
