Citrus

Grapefruit smells like biting into a freshly halved citrus fruit—sharp, juicy, and slightly bitter. Imagine the zesty spray that hits your face when you peel one, mixed with a subtle floral undertone and a touch of mineral freshness. It's brighter and more assertive than lemon, with a woody dryness lurking beneath the initial burst. There's an almost soapy, clean quality that makes it feel modern and energising rather than purely fruity.

Citrus

Mandarin orange smells like biting into a sun-warmed orange on a summer afternoon—bright, juicy, and intensely sweet, but with a slightly floral, almost creamy undertone that distinguishes it from sharper citrus fruits like lemon. It's warmer and softer than bergamot, less bitter than grapefruit, with a whisper of honeyed smoothness. Imagine the concentrated essence of that sticky-fingered moment when you peel the fruit and release its aromatic oils—that's mandarin's character: immediately uplifting, naturally sweet, and wrapped in an almost candied warmth.
