Very nice all around. The nice amount of balanced grassy grapefruit in this is great. Not too much in your face grapefruitiness. Thanks Pete and Cindy!

Typical SB smells - lots of pink grapefruit and crunchy grapefruit pith on the palate as well. Easy does it. A little over at $19 but there it is.
