About this product
Uncap the bottle and it seems to fizz, like the first pour of a dry champagne: bright, crisp, clean citrus with a tart edge. Many white grapefruit oils are bitter. This one is astringent without being bitter at all.
It comes from organically grown grapefruit in Israel, and it is more tangy, tart and radiant than pink or red grapefruit. In perfumery it is superb for balancing powerful florals such as ylang ylang, gardenia and tuberose. In energetic aromatherapy it is diffused to refresh the mind and promote clarity, and Gabriel Mojay describes it as stimulating Qi.
Details
- Botanical name: Citrus paradisi Macfadyen
- Origin: Israel, from organically grown fruit
- Primary components: d-limonene, b-myrcene, a-pinene, sabinene, d-linalool, geraniol, traces of nootkatone
- Shelf life: about 1 to 2 years after opening
How to use
Diffuse it on a slow morning, add it to a perfume to brighten heavy florals, or use it well diluted in a blend for oily or congested skin. It is phototoxic, though the risk is low: avoid use before exposing skin to sunlight or a tanning bed, and keep dermal use to a maximum of 4%. Robert Tisserand notes that, unlike grapefruit juice, the oil is not at all likely to cause drug interactions. Store in the dark, refrigerated, and decant half-full bottles into smaller, full ones.
Let it bring a little sparkle to the gray end of the year.
