GRAPEFRUIT
Grapefruit is a bright, fresh, and zesty citrus note characterized by a tangy, slightly bitter, and juicy aroma. It has a sharp, clean initial impact with a crisp and energetic scent profile that is simultaneously sweet and tart, evoking the sensation of cutting into a ripe, juicy grapefruit.
Origin & Extraction
Grapefruit essential oil is extracted from the peel of the Citrus paradisi fruit through cold-pressing or steam distillation. The fruit originated in the Caribbean, likely as a natural hybrid between pomelo and sweet orange, and is now widely cultivated in regions like the United States (Florida and Texas), Israel, and South Africa.
