About Yuzu

Scent Profile

Yuzu is a Japanese citrus impression marked by sharp acidity, bitter peel, and clear freshness. It often feels more aromatic and textured than a simple lemon or grapefruit note.

Use in Perfumery

In the top, yuzu immediately brightens a composition. With green tangerine, thyme, raspberry, or woods, it can become more than freshness: bitter, playful, herbal, and aromatic.

Did You Know?

Yuzu is familiar in Japanese food culture and winter bathing traditions, but in perfumery it is used broadly for luminous bitterness and transparent citrus lift.

The same note name can read differently depending on dose, pairing, and placement in the formula.
