D.S. & Durga Grapefruit Generation is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by David Seth Moltz. Grapefruit Generation opens with Pomelo and Elm, settles into a heart of Hawthorn and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Grapefruit, and Cork. D.S. & Durga's Grapefruit Generation carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a divisive citrus-floral number, promising a photorealistic grapefruit upfront but delivering a rather fleeting experience. Some love its musky, mature drydown, others find it generic or even a bit 'off'. Definitely sniff before you splash out.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate projection and fleeting longevity make it suitable for casual wear or the office where a subtle scent is preferred. The fresh, clean citrus and floral accords lend themselves well to daytime activities but lack the oomph for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Grapefruit Generation opens with a zesty, true-to-life burst of pomelo and sharp grapefruit, underpinned by an unusual greenness from elm. As it settles, a clean white floral heart of tuberose and hawthorn emerges, softening the citrus. The base reveals a subtle, clean musk with an intriguing, slightly woody cork accord, keeping the grapefruit present but subdued.
