By the editors · 2 min readYuja Cologne is built around the yuzu — the East Asian citrus whose aroma sits somewhere between a grapefruit and a mandarin, tart and pithy with a faint floral undertone. The opening is clean and bright without being strident, the yuzu's natural bitterness rounded slightly before clary sage enters the heart, adding a slightly herbal, almost lavender-adjacent note that tempers the citrus without smothering it.
The dry-down is minimal: balsam fir and cedar ground the composition in a soft, resinous woodiness that evaporates relatively quickly. Yuja is part of Jo Malone London's Blossoms Collection — limited-edition releases built around single botanical subjects — and it has the deliberate simplicity of that format. It reads as a warm-weather or morning fragrance, light on projection and longevity, that suits anyone who wants the clarity of citrus without the sweetness typically used to prop it up.
