CSP's O'Pomelo is a grapefruit scent; it was recently on sale from
adorebeauty.com and I ordered it "smell unseen." I like it when I
first spray it on but it lasts about a nanosecond, at least on me.
Disappointed.
Any suggestions for a complementary body lotion that would make this
fragrance last longer?
I don't, but I will say that grapefruit is one of the most
evanescent of all scents. It just has no staying power. I really like
Guerlain's Pamplelune, but despite their wizardry, they can't chain it
to the skin; it's gone in a matter of minutes, leaving just the base
notes. (Lagerfeld's Photo uses a quantity of grapefruit in the top note
specifically because it doesn't last: it's meant to give an
instantaneous brilliant effect like the flash of a camera and then
vanish.)
