WoodyWhat does Note de Yuzu smell like?
The top notes are yuzu, mandarin orange and lemon, giving a bright, fruity citrus opening. In the heart, sea salt adds an aquatic edge to that freshness. Haitian vetiver and white musk form a soft, woody base underneath.
Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and business are the occasions named most often. Masculine leads the character votes by a small margin, with feminine close behind, so it sits comfortably on either side. Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Yuzu and Creed Citrus Bigarade have a close profile.
