Grapefruit Essence Oil

True Citrus, Stimulating & the Forbidden Fruit of Barbados

Grapefruit is a true New World fruit — a relatively modern hybrid of the pummelo and the sweet orange, native to the West Indies and famously called "the forbidden fruit of Barbados." In the 1800s, a Jamaican farmer gave it the name "grapefruit" because of the grape-like clusters in which it grows on trees. Its fragrance is as bright and honest as its story: a true, clean citrus aroma, stimulating and cheerful, with a remarkable ability to disperse negativity and lift the spirit. Wear it when you need a reset, a mood shift, or simply a burst of pure sunshine. Uncut, alcohol-free, and beautifully long-lasting.

History & Heritage

The grapefruit is a hybrid of the pummelo (Citrus grandis) and the sweet orange (Citrus sinensis), native to the West Indies.
