The Grapefruit Generation Eau de Parfum by D.S. & Durga harks back to the cultural explosion of the 1960s. It draws inspiration from Yoko Ono’s book “Grapefruit,” a collection of surreal instructions, poems, and artistic experiments that encouraged a fresh perspective on everyday things. The grapefruit itself becomes a symbol here, as Yoko Ono saw the hybrid of pomelo and orange as a metaphor for her own identity, blending Asian and European cultures. The fragrance unfolds like a cool citrus meditation, akin to holding a glass of icy citrus water. It embodies both juicy exuberance and a gentle detachment, reflecting the spirit of that generation.

Top Notebursts with realistic pomelo—cold, juicy, and tangy. You can sense it all at once: the pink flesh, the slightly bitter white membranes, the porous peel, and the rich, refreshing juice.

Heart Notesoftens the citrus sharpness with delicate hawthorn featuring honey-floral nuances and tuberose, adding retro accents. The Paradisone molecule imparts a transparent jasmine glow and the effect of pure, warm air to the composition.

Base Notebrings back the grapefruit in a drier, more bitter form—with hints of zest and cool peel. Corkwood adds a touch of roughness, while clean musk creates that distinctive sterile freshness effect.
