About pink grapefruit
Pink grapefruit, known for its tantalizing blend of sweet and tart, is a popular top note in perfumery. Originating from tropical citrus trees, this note is derived from the rinds of pink grapefruits. It imparts a bright, uplifting sensation to fragrances, often used to introduce a burst of energy at the first spritz. Its natural freshness is a favorite for creating invigorating, lively scents, making it a staple in summer fragrances and citrus blends. Beyond its immediate freshness, pink grapefruit adds a nuanced sweetness that differentiates it from other citrus notes.
