Grapefruit Soda
Note Profile
About
Grapefruit soda is the smell of a sweetened, carbonated grapefruit drink: Jarritos Toronja, Squirt, Ting, San Pellegrino Pompelmo. The nose is real grapefruit rather than candy citrus, over sugar and fizz.
Scent Profile
Grapefruit Soda smells of real grapefruit rather than candy citrus, a powerful, commanding citrus tone with a slight lemonade edge. Sugar sweetness sits at the back, sweet-tart rather than fully sweet. Fizzy soda bubbles run through it, a watery, carbonated lift. Grapefruit's natural sulphurous edge is what keeps it reading as grapefruit rather than orange, and a trace of fruity flesh, almost peach-like, rounds it out.

Origin
A prepared drink, not a material. Mexican and Caribbean grapefruit sodas are the reference point for the perfume note.
Usage in Perfumery
One Fragrantica listing, none on Parfumo. It joins lemon-soda, orange-soda and cream-soda as the fruit-soda group, and one indie brand sells a perfume oil under this exact name.
