Grapefruit is a common ingredient in many citrus blends, as well as in woody aromatics and fresh summer fragrances. Here are some of our favorite perfumes featuring grapefruit notes.
Embrace the scent of strong, pure grapefruit in Jo Malone London’s aptly-named Grapefruit perfume. This unisex citrus fragrance features a bright, juicy opening of – you guessed it – grapefruit and tangerine, followed by a heart of paprika and jasmine. A warmer base of oakmoss, vetiver, and patchouli completes this citrusy blend. We find that grapefruit enlivens the scent and contributes quite a luxurious touch.
The English luxury house certainly loves using grapefruit in its concoctions, as evident in Wood Sage & Sea Salt, yet another classic from the brand. Embrace the flavors of nature with this saline twist on grapefruit, flavored generously with sea salt, sage, and lemon.
If you’re looking for something with a little more charm, try Marc Jacobs’ Daisy. This carefree, unique, and sun-kissed blend features everyone’s favorite spicy pink grapefruit coupled with intoxicating gardenia, delicate violet, and soft jasmine petals. The scent ends with a powdery dry down of white woods, vanilla, and musk.
From Madam Coco’s library of fragrances, dedicated to the most beautiful feminine memories, comes Chanel’s Chance Eau Tendre. The grapefruit-infused flanker to the original is every bit as floral but also softer and deeper with its comforting notes of musk, iris, cedar, and amber. Here, grapefruit brings out a youthful innocence – suggestive of the fact that grapefruit perfumes truly have the power to turn back the hands of time. If you prefer, you can also get it as an Eau de Parfum spray for an even more intimate grapefruit encounter.
