Jo Malone London Yuzu Zest Cologne is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Mathilde Bijaoui. Yuzu Zest Cologne opens with Yuzu, settles into a heart of Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Fir Resin. Jo Malone London's Yuzu Zest Cologne carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A bright, sunny yuzu cologne with an unexpected woody depth, but don't expect it to last for ages. It's divisive; some love its warmth, others find it a bit too fleeting and leaning towards cleaning product territory.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and often subtle sillage makes it suitable for office wear, while its woody undertones prevent it from being purely a sporty scent. The poor longevity reported by many makes it less ideal for formal events or longer dates, but perfect for casual daytime activities and hot weather.

About

Yuzu Zest Cologne opens with an electric burst of tart, effervescent yuzu, instantly invigorating. This vibrant citrus mellows into a sophisticated heart of clary sage, introducing an aromatic, slightly herbal nuance. The dry-down reveals a warm, woody embrace of fir resin and cedar, grounding the composition with a natural, coniferous depth that surprisingly lends a cosy, almost wintery feel to this otherwise bright scent.
