Terpenes are natural compounds found in many plants that are responsible for their scent. They act as a chemical defense for plants and attract pollinators, while adding complexity and depth to fragrances.
Grapefruit oil contains a high concentration of limonene, a terpene that provides its characteristic citrus scent. This same compound is also found in lemons and oranges, but in different proportions, creating the unique aromatic differences among citrus fruits.
The name grapefruit comes from the way the fruit grows on the tree in clusters resembling grapes. This similarity was observed by early European settlers in the Caribbean in the 18th century, who gave the fruit the name it keeps to this day.
