Grapefruit White

Introduction
Grapefruit White essential oil is a crisp, refreshing, and slightly bitter citrus oil , distilled from the peel of white grapefruit. Unlike Pink Grapefruit oil, it has a drier, sharper profile with a clean, green-citrus freshness that appeals to those who prefer sophistication over sweetness. Widely used in perfumery, aromatherapy, and wellness traditions, White Grapefruit oil is prized for its energizing and cleansing qualities . At Herbsmetics, we feature this oil in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests learn how it adds sparkle, elegance, and clarity to fragrance compositions.
