Pompelmo / Grapefruit
by Antica Farmacista

Pure grapefruit… This opens smelling almost exactly like grapefruit except that there is a shallow synthetic outline on the top of the grapefruit note. But it is uncannily like grapefruit. As the primarily linear fragrance matures, it becomes more synthetic to the point where, after an hour or two, the grapefruit has morphed into something that, to my nose, seems to be a thin rose scent.

I enjoy this scent as a room fragrance. I don’t picture my using it as a personal fragrance. Pompelo – Grapefruit – has good sillage and remarkable longevity for a citrus fragrance.
