Sparkling Grapefruit Fragrance Oil
Choose a Variant

A fruity fragrance adored by fans, Sparkling Grapefruit reaches a whole new level with this revision. Effervescent top notes of champagne and orange peel blend with an enhanced heart of grapefruit and peach cradled in a gentle base of ginger, powder, and vanilla. Our goal with this revision was to heighten the existing concept by brightening up the grapefruit.

This year-round fragrance brightens up homes in candles and wax melts, and adds freshness to washrooms with zesty soaps and body care products. The familiar accords of this fragrance give it mass appeal, while the bright, bubbly zing keeps it surprising enough for the most discerning nose. This fragrance is infused with natural essential oils, including Grapefruit, Lemon, and Galbanum.

A must-have fragrance for any candle or body care line, we’re also excited to announce Sparkling Grapefruit is now approved for reed diffusers.

Blend recommendations: Red Ginger Saffron, Rain Water, Citron and Mandarin

Alternative branding ideas: Pomelo Peach, Sugared Grapefruit, Citrus Fizz

We did not experience any acceleration or separation. This came to a light trace slowly, and we found the batter turned dark yellow once at an emulsion. We continued stick blending until we reached a medium trace. We did pause to move some of the soap equipment out of the way before pouring into the mold and noticed the batter was slightly thicker but still very fluid. After 24 hours, the soap discolored to a light tan shade and the scent was strong. We observed that the soap almost reached a full gel and the heat had forced a large crack down the center of the soap surface. After 30 days, the soap remained a light tan shade and the scent was strong.

I’ve had this fragrance on my shelf for a while now and haven’t done much with it. For some reason it seemed “just ok”. A few months ago I purchased the new Paloma fragrance. It was amazing right out of the bottle, but I then decided to blend it with the sparkling grapefruit and WOW! The scent is amazing! I named it Citrus Mimosa and the candles, scrubs, and room sprays were flying off the shelf for the holiday season. Now I’m going to try it in lotion and CP soap, it’s a great year round scent, even in the Northern snow belt areas.

Very sweet!

This was much sweeter and less citrus than would be expected. The grapefruit is definitely there, but very sweet. It's a good fragrance to blend with another citrus scent though.

Refreshing!

I used this scent in my shower steamers for the 1st time. It literally smells like a grapefruit! It is so refreshing, and it’s a keeper. I’ll be back for more.

Gorgeous, fresh scent!

I love all things grapefruit, so I had to try a sample size of this one. Poured at 6% in ecosoya 135, cured 2 weeks, and it's absolutely lovely. Cold throw is fantastic, and the hot throw is great but weird in that the room where the candle is lit doesn't seem to smell but the entire rest of my house does! Would probably be great paired with a single note basil or white sage. Perfect for spring/summer!

Beautiful fragrance but...

I absolutely love this FO as well as a lot of my customers! However, it will turn the wax yellow if exposed to UV light (we have fluorescent lighting in our store). I had to discontinue making candles with this FO in clear tumblers and switched to white ones.
