Yuzu

Used in 59+ fragrances on FragranVerse

What it smells like

Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit resembling a small, bumpy pomelo with a uniquely vibrant aroma. Its scent combines the tartness of grapefruit with the floral sweetness of mandarin and a distinctive grape-like nuance, making it more complex than common citrus notes.

How it's used in perfumery

Yuzu serves as a bright, sophisticated top note that adds a modern twist to citrus accords. It pairs exceptionally well with ginger, shiso, mint, and other Japanese-inspired notes in fresh and ozonic compositions.

Fun fact

Yuzu contains nearly three times the vitamin C of lemons and is traditionally used in Japanese winter solstice baths.
