Grapefruit

Grapefruit oil is pressed from the peel; nootkatone gives it its character, and a trace sulfur molecule adds the juicy, bittersweet bite.

Everyday reference
It is the smell that sprays up when you dig a spoon into half a grapefruit.
Versus Lemon
Lemon is cleaner and more acidic, while grapefruit is juicier and more bitter.
What to smell for
Notice a tangy, bitter freshness in the opening; it does not last long.
