Description and usage notes:
Description from Firmenich: “Odor: Fruity, Citrus . Use: A versatile and effective grapefruit, fruity and citrus note.”
This is stronger, much longer lasting and more grapefruit-like than the natural oil, does not decay into sulphurous notes and has minimal photosensitising effect. A very popular substitute that is difficult to get hold of in small quantities. See also another Firmenich grapefruit offering: Pamplocoeur.
