What does Bois de Yuzu smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange and ginger, a citrus brightness with a light spice alongside. In the heart, yuzu wood and clary sage give it a green, fruity turn. Patchouli and papyrus settle into a dry, woody base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it leaves a fairly light trail. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, with evening a much rarer choice. It reads mostly masculine, with a modern feel.
