Jo Malone London Grapefruit is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1992, created by Jo Malone. Grapefruit opens with Grapefruit and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Pimiento, Jasmine, Rosemary, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Jo Malone London's Grapefruit carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a divisive hit-or-miss. Some rave about its fresh, invigorating citrus kick, while others find it too sharp, too masculine, or just not grapefruity enough. If you're after a pure, sweet grapefruit, look elsewhere. If a complex, aromatic citrus with an unexpected edge sounds good, maybe give it a sniff.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for office and casual wear, especially given its intimate sillage. However, the often-described masculine edge and lack of sweetness make it less ideal for dates or formal events where a more universally appealing or elegant scent might be preferred.

About

Imagine the bracing, slightly bitter zest of grapefruit and tangerine, cut through with the herbaceous freshness of rosemary and mint, plus a surprising zing of pimiento. It settles into an earthy, woody base of vetiver, patchouli, and oakmoss, which adds a clean, almost soapy depth. It's a complex, aromatic citrus that skips the sweetness in favour of a more rugged, green profile.
