Japan
Cold-pressed essential oil from the rind of yuzu, the bright Japanese citrus floated in winter-solstice baths.
Our story
At the winter solstice, Japanese baths are scented with yuzu — whole fruits floated on the warm water to fill the room with their clean, sharp fragrance. Toji draws on that ritual. The oil is cold-pressed from the rind, so it keeps the fruit's bright, almost floral edge that a heated process would lose. A few drops in a bath or a diffuser bring a little of that solstice brightness to any evening.
Where it comes from
Cold-pressed oil from the rind of yuzu, the bright Japanese citrus floated in winter-solstice baths.
The oil is cold-pressed from the rind of freshly harvested yuzu, then lightly filtered and bottled. Nothing is heated, so the bright, sharp, floral note of the fruit comes through unchanged.
Add a few drops to a warm bath, a diffuser, or a cotton ball in a drawer for a clean, bright scent. A little goes a long way.
Keep the bottle tightly closed, away from direct sunlight and heat. Stored cool and dark, the oil keeps its bright note for a long time.
A few drops go a long way. A 5 ml bottle gives many baths or diffuser fills — most people use it for weeks.
It is a fragrance oil for baths, diffusers and the home. Pure essential oil is concentrated, so don't apply it undiluted directly to the skin.
A few drops in a warm bath or a diffuser is plenty. You can also put a drop on a cotton ball in a drawer or wardrobe for a clean, quiet scent.
Cold-pressing from the rind keeps the fruit's bright, aromatic top note. Heating the oil, as some processes do, would dull that freshness — so Toji never heats it.
Bright, sharp and slightly floral — a cross between the clean note of a mandarin and the perfume of a grapefruit, with a soft green edge. It is the scent that fills a Japanese winter bath.
Notes from Toji — new pieces and the people who make them. No noise.
