The Different Company South Bay is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Émilie Coppermann. South Bay opens with Grapefruit, Petitgrain, and Tamarind, settles into a heart of Rose Hip, Woody, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Suede, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. The Different Company's South Bay carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a grapefruit paradox: a sparkling, natural citrus that vanishes far too quickly, leaving you wanting more. A fleeting summer dream with an asking price that's hard to justify for its vanishing act.

About

South Bay kicks off with a vibrant, true-to-life grapefruit, tart and zingy, soon joined by the slightly green, earthy touch of petitgrain and a unique tamarind sweetness. As the initial citrus burst mellows, a delicate floral heart emerges with rose hip and freesia, gently warmed by a subtle, creamy suede. The dry down settles into a clean vetiver and soft sandalwood, providing a woody backbone that's elegant but understated.
