Pompelmo

by Jean-Claude Ellena

Laboratorio Olfattivo Pompelmo is a Cologne launched in 2023, created by Jean-Claude Ellena. The fragrance settles into a heart of Vetiver, Pink Pepper, Mastic, and Grapefruit.

Our verdict on Pompelmo: Favourite

A clean citrus that some will find refreshing and others, utterly uninspiring. It's a bit of a mixed bag; perfectly pleasant, but perhaps not as groundbreaking as its creator's reputation might suggest. If you like fresh, acidic, soapy scents, it's worth a sniff.

About

Pompelmo bursts open with a bright, zesty grapefruit, sharp and invigorating from the offset. This citrus zing is quickly softened by a subtle hint of pink pepper, adding a fresh, almost juicy spice. As it settles, the aromatic mastic brings a unique, slightly resinous and green edge, while vetiver and patchouli ground the composition with a familiar, clean earthiness. It's a fresh, acidic, and subtly woody affair.
