Blood Grapefruit

Blood grapefruit, also known as red or ruby grapefruit, is a citrus fruit known for its deep red, pinkish flesh, distinct from the lighter colored varieties of grapefruit. This vibrant coloration is due to the presence of lycopene, an antioxidant found in higher concentrations within blood grapefruits.

In terms of scent, blood grapefruit offers a complex and aromatic profile. The predominant note is a bright, crisp citrus that is markedly tangier and slightly sweeter than the more common yellow grapefruit. Blood grapefruit's aroma is enriched with a subtle floral quality and a hint of raspberry or strawberry, giving it a unique depth unlike other citrus fruits.

The scent releases a refreshing and invigorating burst, which can be described as zesty and energizing, with a sweet undertone that makes it appealing not just as a fruit but also in fragrances and culinary uses. Its robust and nuanced fragrance is a popular component in perfumes, scented candles, and other products aiming to capture a fresh, vibrant essence.

Blood grapefruit's scent makes it particularly enticing in the morning, whether used in culinary dishes, or as a part of an uplifting fragrance blend. Overall, its fragrance is cherished for its ability to enhance mood and refresh the senses.
