This is the most accurate representation of tea that I've ever encountered in a fragrance. If you've ever smelled a freshly brewed cup of assam tea, the aroma is EXACTLY like this fragrance. Deliciously malty and perfectly paired with citrus. I teared up when I first smelled this! I don't get grapefruit specifically, but more of a general lemon-leaning citrus. I was surprised by this, because I find Jo's Grapefruit to be a harsh masculine assault to my nose. (For reference, I love both citrus and masculine scents). I agree that this fragrance is definitely unisex rather than masculine. My only complaint about this is the horrific longevity. Typical for Jo, but this one is worse than normal. I maybe got a good hour before I stopped detecting it. Is it worth $200? No. However, if you LOVE tea scents like I do and can find a good deal, I'd jump on it. It's the most I've ever spent on a FS bottle ($160 incl. shipping) but sometimes if you love something enough, it's worth treating yourself.
