It's hard to describe how Grand Blanc smells, but the best I can muster is fresh grapefruit skins and a kind of minty smell you'd find in a forest, rather than the chewing gum kind of mint smell you sometimes get.
The carrier blend is so smooth and leaves my beard feeling so revitalized. After using it for a few days and noticing how differently it leaves my beard feeling at the end of the day, I'm staggered thinking what life would be like without. The whole Pure EO line is a huge win.
