Is the grapefruit accord common in men’s perfumery?

Grapefruit is often used as a supporting note, not as the primary focus. Examples of fragrances that use the grapefruit accord as a supporting role are V&R Spice Bomb, PR Invictus, and CH Bad Boy Le Parfum. So, the grapefruit is typical in modern men’s perfumery as a supporting role, but it is not usual to have it as the primary accord. Four of today’s fragrances have grapefruit accord as a focal point (Bleu de Chanel, Dylan Blue, The One Grey, and Light Blue Forever), and one has grapefruit as a supporting accord (Encre Noir Sport). All five have different interpretations of grapefruit, so they will be used on different occasions. The grapefruit accord as a supportive note can be described as a fruity and juicy note. Let’s go with the top 5 unique grapefruit fragrances for men without further ado.
