I smelled it and instantly fell I love. It smelled like a photorealistic grapefruit. This scent took me back to my childhood when I was having grapefruits for breakfast every morning before track practice. When a fragrance can unlock a scent memory from a real fruit I don’t even know what to say.

I remember as a kid visiting family in Palm Springs every Summer and picking fresh Grapefruit in the mornings for breakfast. THIS is an absolute stunning summertime fragrance, and is by far my favorite to date! A+++ natural Grapefruit and pairs so well with the Vetiver and subtle Patchouli that runs through the entire fragrance. Absolutely fantastic pickup on this one for sure, highly recommend it! 👍

I'm still on the fence with this..I bought this for very hot days so I appreciate the realistic grapefruit. The rub is the heavy musk that sits in the background it takes this scent from fresh to almost a (I've been working outside for a few hours musky/pheromone smell). The thing is that smell is semi addictive and grows on you, but I could see it being divisive. A channel did a street test with Profondo and this and it was 10 likes to 8 likes for profondo so by no means a blow out. I would not blind buy this.
