柚子

I was worried citrus scents would fade fast, but this one holds up through a whole workday on my wrists. It's bright and tart without turning into lemon cleaner, which is exactly what I wanted from a yuzu fragrance.

The yuzu note smells like the real fruit, not candy or cleaner — tart, a little bitter in the peel, bright enough to wake me up on a gray morning. It fades to something softer within a couple hours, but those first twenty minutes are worth it alone.

The citrus note is so bright and vivid it genuinely smells like the fruit just got zested in my kitchen—not that fake lemon cleaner scent I was worried about. I've gotten compliments every single time I've worn it, and the way it lifts my mood is unbeatable.
