What does L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Yuzu smell like?

It opens with lemon, yuzu and mandarin orange, carrying an aquatic, green freshness from the first spray. Nutmeg and ginger add a spicy touch in the heart, and cedar and vetiver set a woody base underneath. A fruity and slightly synthetic side comes through as well.

Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and mainly choose it for leisure, daily wear and the office. Most read it as masculine. Zara From Paris to New York and Kenzo Kenzo Homme Sport have a close profile.
