Is it my imagination, or has grapefruit become the pink pepper of our times?
Haven’t noticed it, but also, pink pepper has a way of taking over a blend and making everything smell similar, whereas grapefruit is generally a short lived top note? So not sure it would have the same genericizing (probably not a word) effect.
