This was great winter morning reading. One of the core olfactory memories I have comes from clementines in winter. I grew up in New England and our house was primarily heated by wood stove. We’d put the clementine peels on top of the stove to dry out and then throw them in, where the oil would make them flare up and burn out quickly. But the whole woody, smoky, acidic, bright, smoky twang of that was wonderful.
There are some elements of the Pomelo Blossom fume in Grapefruit Generation. I think if I were to make a pomelo again, I'd go more flourescant green peel...

That's close to home for me as well! Citrus winter woodsmoke.
Your Pomelo Blossom fragrance from 15(?) years ago is what introduced me to your brand, would love to know how you'd approach pomelo today!
