Yuzu is a rather exotic type of citrus fruit with a unique aroma that is bright, tart, and floral - sort of like a mix between lemons and flowers. It makes a beautiful top note in handmade perfumes. For this recipe, our contributing formulator, Kelly Owens, blended yuzu with the deep and musky scent of jasmine, the earthy aroma of rosewood, and a splash of sweet orange.
Kelly's blend makes for a sunny scented perfume that will remind you of sun-kissed fruit and clear blue skies. Kelly's perfume base is a combination of carnauba wax, babassu oil, apricot oil, and floral wax. You can use this base with any other essential oil blend you like - so try swapping the yuzu jasmine blend for any combination you prefer.
