Which Should You Buy?
This isn't your average juicy grapefruit scent. Le Pamplemousse is a divisive, herbal, and unapologetically bitter citrus, loved by those who appreciate its unique complexity and green earthiness.
This one's a proper grower, shifting from a polarizing opening to a sophisticated green dry down that might just win you over. It's a fresh, verdant hit for those wanting to escape the usual citrus summer fare, but be warned: some folks smell pickles.
