When I first sniffed this out of the bottle, I thought this was eucalyptus, or something. After letting this sit a couple more days, this does start to smell like the grapefruit everyone is describing, but it smells more like grapefruit ... rind? Including the bitter white pith. It does start to round out a bit and lose the bitterness a little bit. Like citrus sunscreen.

I bought this on impulse on release - a fullsize, since Yules don't tend to tempt me much. I keep putting it down, picking it up, and smelling it again. I haven't read reviews in a while, though, and for ages I just thought it was 'dough'. But reading these, I have realized something-- that there is some fruit supporting it, like a dried apricot. To me, this isn't the kind of jammy sweet jelly filled donut that I really want, but I do enjoy the apricot comes through in the end. But not jam. And no raspberry on me, years later. It's nice as a sleep scent, though! It's comfy.
