Yuzu
Yuzu by Acqua di Parma is an unisex eau de parfum in the premium price tier. It opens with yuzu, bergamot and sichuan pepper, moves into lotus, mimosa, violet leaf and jasmine and dries down to musk, licorice and sandalwood. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Yuzu Japanese citrus — like grapefruit and mandarin crossed. Crisp and clean.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Sichuan Pepper Buzzy, citrus-tinged pepper. Tingles rather than burns.
Heart
- Lotus Pale, watery flower. Delicate and slightly powdery.
- Mimosa Soft, powdery, honeyed yellow flower. Gentle and comforting.
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Licorice Sweet anise with a dark, salty edge. Divisive and distinctive.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
