Beautiful sunny opening...

Overall I consider M. Micallef scents to be some of the best blends on the market, however, Pomelos is quite a let down for me. The opening is beautiful and sunny with sparkling grapefruit shining through. This uplifting opening is gone in an instant though and is replaced by the harshness of the other citrus so I find it bitter and biting. As the scent moves through different stages, the bitter citrus turns to a very strong soapiness on my skin, followed by a dry-down stage of a strong hairspray vibe. Eeeek!

I would imagine others could wear this just fine if you don't have issues with citrus going to strong soap. Pomelos is an easy pass for me - darn.

A Grapefruit to Cuddle

To stay healthy and fit, I do quite a bit, which is why I eat a grapefruit every day… after all, it's supposed to be healthy. Apparently, it works because I am hardly ever sick. There are huge differences in the taste of grapefruits; sometimes they are so sour that my whole face scrunches up, and other times they are almost as sweet as an orange.

Yesterday, I received my 4th Micallef, which I was able to bid on at a good price. I was quite curious about the fragrance, as there are also significant differences in quality...:-)

The first spray… Oh yes, grapefruit and what a grapefruit it is! In the opening, it's citrusy, fresh, not too sour, my facial features remain relaxed… Only when the tangerine joins in does a slightly sweet note come into play. However, it does not take over; the grapefruit remains dominant in the foreground. I find the scent development here really fascinating, as it becomes creamy soft through the jasmine and rose, but not musty. Fortunately, the berries have hidden from me. A light freshness remains, despite the powdery and woody notes. I can confirm the comparison with a very fine body lotion, but I find the feeling very pleasant on days when I don't want to overwhelm anyone with a scent, not even myself. I perceive it on me for about 4-5 hours, on clothes a bit longer.

No, I do not associate fragrance trees with this; instead, at the beginning, one of my other favorites came to mind, Femina by Alberta Ferretti. Pomelos, however, is softer, not as bitter and green as this one.

The blind purchase was worth it, a beautiful scent for spring/summer, but for winter, it might be a bit too weak for me.
