Laboratorio Olfattivo Pompelmo is a Cologne launched in 2023, created by Jean-Claude Ellena. Pompelmo opens with Grapefruit and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Mastic, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Patchouli. Laboratorio Olfattivo's Pompelmo carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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.

Best For:
Office Casual

This scent's clean, fresh profile and moderate intensity make it ideal for office wear, as noted by community members. It's too light and familiar for formal events or a special date night, but perfect for casual everyday use or invigorating post-sport freshness.

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.
