Pamplemousse Grapefruit Paloma
Imagine the feeling of a cold cocktail on a hot summer afternoon. Like its namesake cocktail, Grapefruit Paloma is thirst quenching and rejuvenating through its botanical citrus aroma. Created as part of the Summer Art Series with artist Susan Shao (@shaoshurun).
The Composition
To create Grapefruit Paloma, we explored citrus and tropical scents to create the most refreshing feelings and experiences. The base notes consist of various citrus components including Grapefruit, Orange, Citrus, and Mango known to be uplifting.
To complete the fragrance, Citronella Essential Oil (scientific name: Cymbopogon nardus) is layered in, made from the distillation of the Asian grass plant in the Cymbopogon genus. This fragrant grass obtained its name from the French word meaning “lemon balm,” because of its floral and citrus-like aroma. Like many essential oils, citronella oil has certain benefits, but aside from being largely used as insect repellent, it is also a natural deodorant that beautifully uplifts mood & psyches.
Other benefits of the scent notes:
Grapefruits, oranges, and other citrus fragrances are some of the best scents for staving off mental fatigue, and increasing focus and productivity.
Mango is very well known for its antioxidants, and nourishing properties when consumed or when its oil is added topically. It’s aroma is a relaxant and calms the psyche. Like many of our other carefully selected and curated aromas, it eases the mind and helps with brain function.
We recommend this product for daytime burning, to reduce anxiety, and awaken your senses.
