What does Grapefruit Incense smell like?

Longevity and sillage both sit at a moderate level, so it stays close without filling the room. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear and leisure, with office use next; sport and evening come lower.

Grapefruit leads, joined by the floral softness of Rosa centifolia and blond woods. The accords point to a fresh, citrus and green character with a light sweet, fruity touch, while the spicy and woody tones stay in the background. Hermès Eau de Pamplemousse Rose and The Merchant Of Venice Pink Grapefruit have a close profile.
