By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit opens with a crisp, slightly bitter citrus that projects cleanly without the sweetness of orange or the sharpness of lemon — a clean and somewhat restrained entry. The opening is deliberate in its simplicity, allowing the grapefruit to register fully before receding.
Amber and musk form the complete base — warm, softly resinous amber supported by a clean musk that extends the composition without adding character. The transition from bitter-citrus to warm-amber creates a familiar but effective arc. This is a pared-back feminine composition: transparent, undemanding, and close-wearing. It rewards proximity rather than distance, functioning as a skin enhancer in its later hours.
