Yuzu

Yuzu is a citrus fruit native to East Asia, known for its bright, tart, and complex aroma. The fruit has a distinctive bumpy, yellow-green rind and a sour, acidic juice. Yuzu is prized in Japanese cuisine and perfumery for its unique, complex scent that combines notes of grapefruit, lemon, and mandarin.

Yuzu's bright, zesty aroma is invigorating and uplifting, evoking a sense of freshness and vitality. Fragrances featuring yuzu are often worn to energize and refresh, making them suitable for daytime wear, especially in warmer weather. The citrusy notes can also create a sense of cleanliness and purity.

Yuzu is commonly used as a top note in fragrances, providing a bright, zesty opening that quickly fades. It is often paired with other citrus notes like bergamot or lemon, as well as floral and green notes, to create refreshing, uplifting scent profiles. Yuzu is a popular ingredient in colognes, eau de toilettes, and some niche perfumes.
