Arctander says
Grapefruit oil is a mobile, yellowish to greenish-yellow or pale orange yellow oil, possessing a fresh-citrusy, rather sweet odor and a similar taste. There are similarities between sweet orange and bitter orange and grapefruit oil is therefore useful in bergamot compositions and for all modifications of citrus notes in perfumery. The main use is in flavors.
