| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. |
| 0:12.5 | My Sunday the day today is one of my new favorites for summer. |
| 0:15.9 | It is a sparkling, refreshing, warm, soft citrus, and that is citrus grandis from Chris Collins. |
| 0:23.2 | It is an ode to Pamelo with notes, obviously, of Pamelo, and Yuzu and Cedar, Verbena, |
| 0:29.4 | Black Currant, Sandalwood, Elime, incense, musk, vetiver, what the heck does it mean? |
| 0:35.9 | It means it is just perfect. It is not astringent. You know, |
| 0:39.9 | I don't like a citrus that goes too astringent, but it's refreshing and citrusy, a tad sweet, |
| 0:44.9 | and even a little musky. I will say if you tried Mediterranean honeysuckle mimosa, |
| 0:49.8 | that name will never not be a mouthful, off my recommendation and you enjoyed it. Try this too. |
| 0:55.9 | It is another fragrance that I feel is just sort of like highlighting the warmth and softness |
| 1:01.8 | of citrus while still being sparkling and refreshing. Now another thing I do want to address is |

| 1:12.9 | This is something that I used to be unsure of as well. So let me tell you, Pamelo is a little bit |
| 1:18.9 | softer and sweeter in smell and taste. And fun fact, did you know that grapefruit is a hybrid |
| 1:26.2 | fruit. It is a hybrid of sweet orange and pomello. So pomello is |
| 1:31.0 | the O.G. In terms of how they look, I think pomello is a little bit smaller, a little bit more of |
| 1:36.5 | like a teardrop shape, and it also has a thicker rind. And the inside is almost always yellow |
| 1:42.6 | in color, whereas grapefruit, I think there's different varietals, but at least when I think of like the most color, whereas grapefruit, I think there's different |
| 1:44.7 | varietals, but at least when I think of like the most common kinds of grapefruit, I definitely |
| 1:48.6 | think of that like ruby red sort of pinkish hue. But yeah, I am loving citrus grandes. I love how |
| 1:55.0 | soft and cozy it feels while also being so fresh. And I just need to shout out Chris Collins |
| 2:00.8 | in general. I interviewed him |
