Soothing and refreshing interpretation of yuzu
I'm always on the lookout for citrusy fragrances, especially with the warmer weather to come. I was excitedly waiting for it to arrive at Sephora so I could test it out. I'm trying to have different fragrances in my collection, each featuring a citrus fruit and I think I've found the one for yuzu.

When I sprayed it at the store, I could feel something special which is why I immediately purchased it online and got it with a discount. Now that I've had the time to test it out at home and on me, I'm even more certain of my purchase. Yuzu Zest starts out with a zesty, almost bitter, citrusy note. It's refreshing but also light at the same time. Clary sage takes a little longer to appear, but when it does, it lends a tranquil aromatic and herb-like vibe underneath the citrusy vibrance of the fragrance. It's soothing and calming. After awhile, cedarwood comes up, but this time, it's more mild and tempered. There's also an almost creamy warmth and a resinous sweetness I can only assume comes from the fir balsam.

Does Jo Malone reinvent the wheel with this one? Certainly not. But it does provide a comforting and soothing interpretation of yuzu that's sufficiently unisex. Can be worn during warm weather or anytime when you need a little pick-me up. It also has surprisingly better longevity than most of the Jo Malone I've tested which gives it a few more points in my book.

Lime juice for the skin
My first association when spraying it on in the store was actually the lime juice from my favorite Thai restaurant around the corner. Very fresh, very citrusy with a hint of cane sugar. I'm not a big fan of sweet or gourmand scents, they don't usually develop as nicely on me as they do on many others. For this reason, I was very pleased with the fresh recommendation from the lady in the Jo Malone store.
I was catapulted straight into a summer evening by the sea, when the air cools down a little but that shimmer is still there. Yuzu is very strong at first, but never gets that, sorry for the somewhat unsavory comparison, toilet-stone vibe. After about half an hour, a pleasant warmth develops under the freshness, which I can only compare to the cane sugar from my Lime Juice. A really great, light and fresh fragrance that doesn't get on my nerves and is still easily perceptible on my skin even after 5 hours, transporting me straight to summer and the water. Simply great.

A surprise by jo malone
I usually like the quality and the smell of most jo Malone fragances, but usually they didnt work very Well on my skin. Only myrrh & tonka, Jasmine sambac & marigold, tuberose angelique and bronze wood & leather could stay on me for hours, but the rest are all gone during the first 1-2 hours.
But this new release by jo Malone has surprised me with his good performance. And It is, even more surprisely, a citric scent, perfect for spring and summer day time. I could try It and after having done that i could feel myself rounded by andelicious lemon (un this case yuzu) Candy, because yuja (yuzu un korean) is citrusy but at the same time sweet and Magic.
Jo Malone London introduce this perfume like a perfume for the urban Life in seoul, with an advertisement protagonized only for a man. This is the first time that i see a JM London perfume which is orientared for men through their advertisement (because the reality is that most of their perfumes are unisex or even more masculine like oud&bergamot ir amber&lavender).
I am sure that this would be a Next purchase for my collection because It is one ofnthe BEST citrus scents that i have tried. LOVE
The perfume is really unisex, better for day time but intense enough to resist one Patty night. Do you like aventus? So you Will probably like yuja...
