Grapefruit (Citrus × paradisi), is a subtropical citrus tree known for its bitter fruit, an 18th-century hybrid first bred in Barbados. When found, it was named the "forbidden fruit"; it has also been misidentified with the pomelo or shaddock (C. maxima), one of the parents of this hybrid, the other being sweet orange (C. × sinensis). The fruit is yellow-orange skinned and largely an oblate spheroid. The flesh is segmented and acidic, varying in color depending on the cultivars, which include white, pink and red pulps of varying sweetness. It has become popular since the late 19th century; before that it was only grown as an ornamental plant.
Grapefruit has a fresh, tangy citrus aroma. It blends well with bergamot, black pepper, cardamom, clary sage, clove, cypress, eucalyptus, fennel, frankincense, geranium, ginger, juniper, lavender, lemon, mandarin, neroli, palmarosa, patchouli, peppermint, rosemary, thyme, and ylang ylang.
The oil is used extensively in the fragrance industry. Consider using Grapefruit Essential Oil alone or blended in lotions, soaps and bath & body products.
