Yuzu

Yuzu is an invigorating citrus note that combines the tang of grapefruit and the brightness of mandarin with a hint of floral undertones. Its sharp, refreshing scent is a beloved addition to modern perfumery, lending an effervescent and uplifting touch that feels both exotic and familiar. Yuzu is versatile and pairs well with woods, spices, and florals, making it a dynamic choice for fresh and zesty compositions that evoke the energy of a cool breeze on a sunny day.

History & Production: Yuzu has its origins in East Asia, particularly China and Japan, where it has been cultivated for centuries. The fruit was introduced to Japan from China during the Tang Dynasty and has since become an integral part of Japanese culture, symbolizing health and vitality. The oil is cold-pressed from the rind, yielding an essence rich in limonene and other citrus compounds. Sustainable growing and harvesting practices ensure the yuzu’s revered scent continues to enchant perfumers worldwide.
