A perfect fragrance for summer?
Greyfruit is a wonderful fragrance for summer.
This great grapefruit, some mandarin with zest, bergamot, ginger and also clary sage bring this wonderful summer vibe to your nose.

The fragrance has a very slightly bitter-bitter quality paired with a super subtle sweetness and even "almost" creamy touches.
This amber musk base comes through well and also becomes deeper/intense over time.

Greyfruit is also super natural and not overdone at all. Everything is perfectly balanced and finely crafted.

Here and there I have heard comparisons with Afternoon Swim by Louis Vuitton.
Perhaps there are certain echoes somewhere, but the fragrances do differ.
Personally, I think the orange comes across a little better in the AS, or rather more sparkling.
The Greyfruit is rather gentler, softer and sweeter.
We also have this noticeable musky-amber base here.

All in all, a great fragrance that I can absolutely recommend.

Ungrau - 50 shades of summer
...maybe not 50, but at least a few yellow-orange ones...

Hey, it doesn't really go with the Martin... it's not gray at all. Actually the complete opposite.

Greyfruit, if it were a color, would clearly be light orange. It's a great summer fragrance that immediately transports you to a vacation. I see myself in an unbuttoned linen shirt and swimming shorts somewhere in Italy in the countryside. Not by the sea, but rather on a great terrace with a pool and a lounger.

There are strong similarities to Afternoon Swimmer, but that's a good thing, because its expensive volatile brother is also excellent in terms of fragrance. All the good genes can be found here, in my opinion even a little more natural, but what is most important to me personally is that it is much more long-lasting! That was also one of the main reasons why I didn't buy the A.S. (except for a 10ml bottle).
You can expect a very decent sillage and really good longevity for a fragrance in this category.

The ingredients seem to be of high quality, I don't find anything disturbing.
The opening is also a smile-on-the-lips driver here, this great bitter-fresh-fruity good mood wave is simply fun. There is a real risk that the vacation budget will suffer, but that's ok, because if the weather is not good enough on vacation, I can use this to counteract it.

Bravo Martin, unexpected fragrance, I'd love to see more of these "un-gray" creations.... I'd love something with violets ;-)

First impression of the Greyfruit...!
Hello everyone,

i have tried a lot of citric, fruity, refreshing fragrances in the last weeks, months and years and also priced from 50€ up to very expensive ones in the almost 300€ range, but the problem is that those fragrances have 95% and more close to really little to no durability... and if we take the expensive Afternoon Swim as an example, it doesn't either. It's authentic, very pleasant and so on. but are such things of any use to me if the durability is very, very modest...

In this respect, I certainly don't expect 12h, not even 9h, but you should be in the 6h to 7h range (in my opinion), especially if you spend good money...

I'll be honest, I'm a big grapefruit and blood orange fan, they are very summery and slightly tart fragrances, which "always!" go down very well in summer, you can also do a lot wrong with such fragrances....

For example, if you make the grapefruit too sweet, the fragrance can quickly become too sweet when you sweat a little and it can give you a headache (I often get this). Here, the citrusy notes are more on the HERBEN side, which I find very good.

Now we come (very) briefly to the point of synthetic and natural oils:

I don't want to start another fundamental discussion about this! Synthetic ingredients have many, many advantages, better (easier) matching/adaptation with certain notes, often cheaper, often more potent etc. My "problem" with them is that you have to find a healthy balance and then everything is cool! Unfortunately, this is not even remotely the case with many fragrances... the Greyfruit smells very authentic and that despite citric notes...

About the H/S:

Satisfactory!

applied at 1 pm and at 9 pm it was still discreetly perceptible.
The sillage is perceptible for 2h to 3h in a limited 1m range
and later it becomes a skin scent.

Does that bother me?

0.0!

Why?

In months from April to the end of September I see as daily usable and has a friendly + refreshing side and if I decide to wear exactly something like that, then I want that and if I get that and just in the office, on the plane or generally there surround a person should not take a breaker at certain times....

Price:

As far as I know, we are in the €2 (+) range here and that is really clear.

How is it received?

Of course, I can't give any long-term reports yet, but my wife likes it a lot and 3 of my colleagues also liked it a lot straight away. Since it appeals to me too...

Recommendation?

Definitely!
If you like a fresh - fruity - summery - slightly tart fragrance (like me in the current season) then I recommend you at least one TEST!
And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny

Citrus-Bitter-Freshy with a cooling, refreshing mineral water twist
For me, Greyfruit is exactly what the fragrance wants to be: a refreshing summer cool-down with lots of citrus, some invigorating spice and effervescence, on a solid amber musk base.

This summer fragrance starts off wonderfully bitter-citrusy with mandarin peel and neroli, together with bergamot and grapefruit which, together with what is called a mineral water accord, always retains a nice bitterness.

Ginger and blood orange quickly join the citrus mix. Even though I personally am not the biggest fan of ginger and blood orange in fragrances, these two are so well interwoven with the rest that there is nothing to complain about in terms of my personal taste. Just imagine that the blood orange has rolled further down in the fresh fruit basket, so that it does everything it can do well there, but doesn't stand out in a disturbing way. It's a similar story with the ginger, which also adds a moderate woodiness to the whole thing.

About the exciting mineral water accord:
Greyfruit is not really an aquatic fragrance. It doesn't want to be. However, after just a few minutes, there is an effervescent coolness that is difficult to put into words (for me) and has a very refreshing effect on me. In my opinion, this association of mineral water with bitter citrus fruits is quite apt and therefore the mineral water accord is an appropriate term to use. For me, this accord is also the special twist of the fragrance: a watery-cool freshness that allows the unsweet citrus components to bubble to the top. This also ensures that the citrus fruits don't become so dull over time. As you can tell, it's difficult to describe: so it's best to smell it for yourself! A sniff often conveys more than a thousand words.

But you should be a citrus fan and not disdain a certain bitterness, then nothing can go wrong with Greyfruit.

The fragrance lasts surprisingly long on my skin for a fresh midsummer EdP. I would not have thought so. The projection is pleasant, so it's not overwhelming on 30°+ summer days. But it is present at all times, always wafting joyfully into the nose and triggering (at least for me) a lovely feeling of lasting refreshment and satisfaction. This is certainly also thanks to the stable amber-musk base with coumarin and the well-integrated oakmoss, which I can sniff out especially towards the end. This also makes Greyfruit somewhat soapy and clean in the drydown towards the end. Clary sage certainly also contributes to the cooling properties of the fragrance for a pleasantly long time.

Greyfruit is pleasing but not boring and, for me personally, offers a very nice twist between a broad citrus mix with bitter notes that I love so much in fragrances and a fizzy, refreshing cool-down with good performance and a classic finish on a stable base. Fresh, delicious, sparkling, cool. Everything done right!

Greyfruit has a very cheerful nature and brings me to more positive thoughts in a rather gloomy time that I am personally experiencing regardless of global developments.

I can hardly think of an occasion when you couldn't wear this fragrance in summer. During the day and in the evening, but also at work and in your free time in general. It is so versatile and works very well for many occasions and events if you like bright, cheerful, slightly watery and therefore not too sweet, uncomplicated summer freshies with a special twist.

I also find it appealing and practical for us fragrance lovers that this indie brand made in Germany offers the fragrance as a 30ml container at a correspondingly fair price. I always like it when houses offer 15-30 milliliter sizes, which "for us" - who often want to own a lot of fragrances - can also be a financial aspect of the purchase.

Greyfruit comes in a simple but neat bottle with a good spray unit. The outer packaging visually reflects my fragrance impression with the choice of color and the chosen design and, together with the inner workings of the packaging, exudes an authentic and charming flair of craftsmanship.

Cheers!
