DESCRIPTION

Yuzu Essential Oil, produced by Capua 1880, is obtained from fruits cultivated in Japan, the native homeland of this extraordinary citrus, and subsequently processed at the company's facilities in Calabria, where more than a century of expertise in citrus processing ensures exceptional quality standards.

Yuzu (Citrus junos) holds a unique place in contemporary perfumery thanks to its complex and unmistakable olfactory profile, capable of combining the brilliance of citrus with green, aromatic, and floral facets rarely found in other citrus essences.

Its aroma opens with vibrant notes of mandarin peel, grapefruit, and lemon, quickly enriched by elegant green, herbaceous, and subtly spicy nuances, supported by a delicate floral undertone that adds depth and naturalness to the composition. The result is a fresh, vibrant, and sophisticated raw material, highly appreciated by perfumers for its ability to create luminous and instantly recognisable openings.

PERFUMERY

In perfumery, Yuzu Essential Oil is a highly prized raw material for the creation of citrus, aromatic, green, and contemporary accords, where it imparts refined freshness and a distinctive personality.

Unlike lemon, bergamot, or grapefruit, yuzu possesses a far more multifaceted olfactory structure, combining citrus brightness, vegetal nuances, and a delicate floral component. This complexity allows perfumers to create elegant and natural openings while avoiding the linearity typical of many traditional citrus oils.

From a formulation perspective, it shows excellent affinity with bergamot, lemon, green mandarin, petitgrain, Hedione®, white musks, and woody materials, contributing to the creation of hesperidic accords, tea accords, modern colognes, and minimalist fine fragrance compositions.

Its exceptional brightness, combined with a refined aromatic character, makes it particularly valuable for contemporary creations that seek freshness, naturalness, and elegance without sacrificing olfactory complexity.
