Pomelo smells like a zesty, fresh citrus scent. It’s kinda like a sweeter, less intense grapefruit, mixed with a little bit of lemon and mandarin orange. It's super clean and bright. Pomelo smells like grabbing a bottle of a popular citrus sports drink after a workout or that fresh scent when you first peel a big, juicy orange. It's often used in fragrances to give them a sharp, energetic top note that just smells good.
