Among the most "grapefruit" scents I have owned, right up there with Pomelo Paradis by Atelier Cologne and D&G’s Light Blue Forever. This Guerlain is bracing, cold, sparkling, refreshing, lacking almost completely in sweetness, and an AMAZING value in a charming bottle. I used to have a coworker who absolutely loves wearing grapefruit perfumes, and after I gave this bottle to him, I smelled it on him at least every other day for months. So, it very much succeeds in that regard.

It should be noted that this perfume is NOT just for women in my opinion; in fact, I think it is very unisex. And though you can pick out the neroli and blackcurrant if you really look for it, IMO this is not a balanced perfume in the slightest. You'd better like grapefruit because that's most of what you will get, and even more so for the people who are smelling your perfume from even a short distance away.

Overall, this is a great perfume for what it is. It is absolutely unisex, and it really is an excellent value!
