GRAPEFRUIT FLOWER

Grapefruit flower brings a floral dimension to the grapefruit idea, with citrus freshness and a more pointed edge alongside its softness. Dior describes its blossom essence as sharing a sweet aspect with neroli while becoming sharper and more piquant. That contrast can appeal if you enjoy a citrus-floral impression with definition rather than sweetness alone.

Grapefruit blossom and grapefruit flower refer to the same flowering part of the tree. A natural blossom material does exist: Dior documents an essence made by steam distilling the petals, and a perfumer’s technical account also describes distilled grapefruit flower oil. This differs from grapefruit peel oil, which comes from the fruit’s rind. Perfumers may shape the floral impression within a wider accord, so the note name alone does not establish which material a particular fragrance uses.
