What does Eau de Yuzu smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without overwhelming a room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. It leans slightly masculine, though a fair share of voters find it feminine.

It opens with lemon petitgrain, yuzu, grapefruit and grass, a fresh, green citrus. Black pepper and juniper berry add a dry, spicy touch in the heart. The base settles on musk, gaiac wood, vetiver and patchouli. Nicolaï L'Eau de Sport / Balle de Match and The Different Company Limon de Cordoza have a close profile.
