Grapefruit (Citrus Paradisi)

Category Hesperide

Grapefruit peel, sulphury.

The United States (Florida and California), Israel and Argentina are the biggest producers of grapefruits.

The essence is obtained through expression of the peel.
The grapefruit is the largest in the citrus group (hesperides).

The essence of grapefruit adds a sharp note when combined with other hesperide nuances.

Grapefruit was considered by the Chinese to be one of the three blessed fruits (the others being peach and lemon).
It was regarded as a symbol of fertility and prosperity, not only for the Chinese, but also for the Greeks, Romans and the people of the Near East.

Grapefruit juice guards against lethargy and dry throat.
A few drops of the essence in a bath will bring a sense of renewed confidence and its fragrance improves memory and aids concentration. The odor of grapefruit stimulates the right hemisphere of the brain.
