TO SUMMER Pomelo 柚 is a 30ml Chinese citrus eau de parfum with bergamot, mandarin, grapefruit, mint, thyme and white musk. Created by perfumer David Huang for TO SUMMER's Eastern Essence line, it turns a frost-dusted autumn pomelo into a clean, herbal spray.
A Frost-Touched Pomelo Eau de Parfum
The idea behind Pomelo is autumn sunlight you can wear. David Huang trained at ISIPCA in France and is one of China's early perfumers to study there. He built the peel from Italian grapefruit, Chinese mandarin and Argentinian lemon oils, then added a few green pomelo-leaf notes. The first frosty bite fades quickly into juicy sweetness, and the faint bitterness of white pith stays just visible. The result is a rounded, balanced citrus.
Bergamot, Grapefruit and Mint Fragrance Notes
Pomelo opens bright and sparkling, turns green and fruity in the heart, then dries down to a smooth musk.

The Pomelo Bottle
The octagonal cap is made by hand in a jade-like finish, inspired by the latticed flower windows of Jiangnan courtyards. An invisible dip tube and pump give a fine, even mist from the first press.
How to Wear TO SUMMER Pomelo
Pomelo reads cool and clean in summer heat and turns warmer once the weather does. Spray it on pulse points as a fresh start to the day. It suits anyone who likes crisp citrus, green herbs and a clean musky finish.
If you like your scents cool and herbal but want them on a woody base, try TO SUMMER Cedarwood.
