Yuzu

Yuzu from the Japanese brand J-Scent is a citrus fragrance first and foremost, with a smaller floral share.

The top is a bright citrus mix: orange, lemon and bergamot give a juicy, sparkling, slightly bitter freshness. The heart is where the yuzu comes in, a Japanese citrus with a sharp, aromatic, slightly floral zest, sitting between lemon and grapefruit. Lime and grapefruit sharpen it further, and thyme adds a dry, herbal edge. The base is softer than most citrus scents, with rose bringing a gentle floral touch and mandarin orange a rounded, sweet citrus that lingers.

Yuzu is shared and can be worn by anyone. It is a natural fit for spring and summer, hot days, the office and after a bath, and should appeal to people who love clean, bright citrus scents with a Japanese character, light and refreshing rather than sweet or heavy.
