About this material
Bright, sparkling and effortlessly uplifting, Pink Grapefruit Radiance EO captures the vivid character of freshly opened pink grapefruit peel in all its radiant freshness.
The fragrance opens with an immediate burst of juicy citrus zest—crisp, tangy and mouth-wateringly fresh—before revealing softer nuances of sweet fruit, delicate floral brightness and the characteristic dry bitterness of grapefruit rind.
Compared with sharper lemon or sweeter orange oils, Pink Grapefruit brings a beautifully balanced citrus profile: lively and diffusive, yet refined by a subtle rosy-fruit softness.
Its vibrant top-note character brings instant luminosity to fragrance compositions, lifting florals, fresh woods, aromatic accords and modern citrus structures with natural brightness.
It is particularly effective in cologne styles, summer fragrances, fruity florals, botanical compositions and clean contemporary blends, where it introduces freshness without becoming overly sweet.
Naturally expressive and full of character, our Grapefruit Pink Oil is an elegant choice for perfumers seeking a vivid citrus opening with juicy freshness, sophisticated bitterness and an unmistakably sunlit personality.
A highly diffusive citrus top note for colognes, fresh fragrances, fruity accords, floral bouquets, aromatic compositions, clean woods, citrus gourmands and natural perfume structures.
Particularly useful for adding lift, sparkle and realistic grapefruit-peel character.

CAS numbers (comment): The scope of this Standard includes, but is not limited to the CAS number(s) indicated above; any other CAS number(s) used to identify this fragrance ingredient should be considered in scope as well.
Contributions from other sources: None to consider
Flavor use consideration: Due to the possible ingestion of small amounts of fragrance ingredients from their use in products in Categories 1 and 6, materials must not only comply with IFRA Standards but must also be recognized as safe as a flavoring ingredient as defined by the IOFI Code of Practice (www.iofi.org). For more details see chapter 1 of the Guidance for the use of IFRA Standards.
IFRA Standard type: RESTRICTION
Intrinsic property driving the risk management measure: PHOTOTOXICITY
Restricted ingredients due to phototoxicity considerations: notes: The Standard is set due to the phototoxic effects of Grapefruit oil expressed. For more detailed information on the application of this Standard, please refer to the note on phototoxic ingredients in chapter 1 of the Guidance for the use of IFRA Standards. If the level of furocoumarins is unknown, the restriction level specified in this IFRA Standard applies. Combination effects of phototoxic ingredients are only taken into consideration for the furocoumarin-containing fragrance ingredients (extracts) listed in the IFRA Standard of Citrus oils and other furocoumarins containing essential oils. If combinations of furocoumarin-containing phototoxic fragrance ingredients (extracts) are used, the use levels must be reduced accordingly. The sum of the concentrations of all furocoumarin-containing phototoxic fragrance ingredients (extracts), expressed in of their recommended upper concentration level in the consumer product shall not exceed 100. For qualities of the expressed oil in which the less volatile components have been concentrated by partial or total removal of the terpene fraction, this limit should be reduced in proportion to the degree of concentration.

Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.Leaf and blossom
With rose and garden floralsExplore a green floral sketch around a clear flower reference. Compare the leafy accent with the flower alone and decide whether the scene suggests a cut stem, a growing garden or a greener abstraction you want to develop.
Peel and leaf
With bergamot and herbal directionsUse citrus as a bright setting for the green material, then try an herbal alternative as a separate variation. Keeping those contrasts apart makes it easier to choose between a peel-focused idea and a leafy cologne.
A shaded wood
With transparent woods and soft muskSketch a green wood direction with a restrained backdrop. Follow the leafy character as the study develops, comparing a wood-only reference to decide whether the scene suggests fresh branches, shaded timber or a softer woodland impression.
