Grapefruit...the holy grail of summer scents!

Paradise Frost I have tried and is very nice but I found it quite sweet without any sharpness to it. Great soap though.

although I haven't shaved with it yet, I can report that Mystic Waters Pompelmo & Fiori is a very nice, tart grapefruit. Don't let the fiori (flowers) scare you off. It's definitely not floral...just a soft, slightly sweet background. Very well done.

Batman , that's good news, I was hoping that would be the case I will be getting a tub next month.

These are my thoughts, as well.

Ok I've shaved with both the new CRSW Citrus Paradisi and the MW Pompelmo & Fiori.  Both are excellent soaps. Their performance (to me) is quite similar; that is, superb.  I won't go any further for the purposes of this post, but will discuss the scents.

MW Pompelmo & Fiori - reminds me of a bottle of Italian grapefruit soda.  Sweet, tart, almost full on grapefruit.  Scent is stronger in the tub than when lathered, but the scent is always present.  Not floral...just a bit of sweetness in the background. One of my favorites from Michelle.

CRSW Citrus Paradisi - described as a pure grapefruit scent, I get a little something more. At first, the scent is very fresh - as if you just cut a grapefruit in half.  Later on, my nose detects some orange & lime in the background.  It's tart - but perhaps not as tart as the MW. I feel the CRSW is a bit softer and rounder (a more balanced citrus than pure grapefruit). The scent is stronger after lathering, and is always present.  To my nose, a wonderful grapefruit forward citrus.

They are different enough from each other to justify owning both.  Good job to both Michelle & Larry. I must say I really enjoy the grapefruit theme even more than I expected.  Very clean & refreshing!

My two favourite grapefruit soaps are:
Meißner Tremonia Pink Grapefruit - own both the Paste and the hard soap
Caties Bubbles Purple Grapefruit

My two favourite grapefruit creams are:
Esbjerg Grapefruit
TOBS Grapefruit

Batman thanks for the great review, they sound amazing. Definately a scent I would like from what you have described. I will be getting Michelle's Grapefruit next month and maybe Larrys another time.
