EDPUnisex
The Story
Pamplemousse 25 is a bold, bitter grapefruit that cuts through the noise. The 2019 reformulation smoothed out some rough edges while keeping the tart, zesty core. It opens with a sharp burst of pink grapefruit and rhubarb, then settles into a clean, woody base with a hint of vetiver. This is a no-nonsense citrus that lasts surprisingly well.
