Chinese Grapefruit

1 perfumes

Chinese Grapefruit, also known as pomelo, offers a sophisticated profile that leans more floral and subtly sweet than the sharp, acidic bite of standard grapefruit. Belonging to the citrus family, this note provides a crisp, sparkling opening with a distinctively pithy, green undertone that feels clean and refined. It pairs naturally with white florals like jasmine or neroli, adding a luminous, airy quality to complex compositions. In the context of Gulf perfumery, this note is an ideal choice for the intense heat of the region, as it provides a cooling, refreshing lift to heavier compositions. It works exceptionally well in daytime fragrances, cutting through the humidity while maintaining a polished presence that bridges the gap between traditional citrus freshness and the nuanced, sophisticated profiles preferred in modern regional scent design.
