The refreshing essence that lasts
Fragrances with citrus notes have been awakening our senses for centuries, evoking sensations of freshness, energy, and good spirits. Lemon, bergamot, orange, mandarin... These essences have managed to endure over time thanks to their ability to adapt and reinvent themselves. In 2025, the universe of citrus fragrances is at an interesting moment. On one hand, bold proposals arise that mix the traditional with surprising ingredients; on the other, some trends point to sweet and enveloping fragrances gaining more and more ground.
Yuzu: the citrus that sets trends
One of the ingredients generating the most buzz is yuzu. Yuzu has become the citrus of the moment. This Asian fruit, between lemon and mandarin, has been used for centuries in Japan, but now shines in Fragrance for its fresh, soft aroma with a different touch. Perfect for those looking for something citrusy, but nothing typical. This ingredient is characterized by:
Bright citrus freshness
- Green and herbaceous nuances
- Subtle floral notes
- A slightly spicy touch
According to Fragrance trend experts, yuzu is gaining popularity for its natural complexity, which allows creating more sophisticated and long-lasting citrus Fragrances. Its versatile character makes it an ideal ingredient for unisex Fragrances, responding to the growing demand for genderless Fragrances.
Technical evolution: long-lasting citrus
One of the greatest advances in citrus Fragrance has been overcoming its traditional limitation: short lasting power. Contemporary perfumers have developed innovative techniques such as microencapsulation and strategic combination with natural fixatives (vetiver, cedar, amber) that make current citrus Fragrances last significantly longer. Additionally, blends with other olfactory families have expanded the citrus territory: Combinations with noble woods that add depth Blends with spices that add warmth and character Mixes with aquatic notes that evoke marine freshness Harmonies with white flowers that add elegance
Are citrus Fragrances losing ground?
Last year, Fragrances with citrus notes gave way as protagonists to other enveloping, long-lasting, and intense aromas. Sweet and gourmand Fragrances, characterized by notes of vanilla, caramel, or desserts, are gaining popularity especially among younger generations. Several factors explain this trend:
- Sweet notes offer greater longevity and projection
- The natural evolution of olfactory tastes towards more intense aromas
- The influence of social networks, which favor Fragrances with distinctive personality
- The search for emotional comfort in uncertain times
However, experts offer a more nuanced view. Rebeca Cernadas, Senior Fragrance Development Manager, points out that the Fragrance trends we will see in 2025 reflect how Fragrances have evolved to be more than that: they are a tool for personal expression and emotional connection.
