What does Yuzu Fou smell like?

The citrus notes come first: yuzu, kumquat, orange and bitter orange make a bright, slightly bitter fruit impression. Mint and verbena absolute add a green coolness, while neroli and bamboo soften it. Cedarwood and white musk stay in the background and give a light woody base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and work are the occasions named most often. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits comfortably on either. Puig Agua Mediterránea and Hermès Eau d'Orange Verte have a close profile.
