By the editors · 2 min readYuzu opens with a bright, effervescent citrus burst that carries a distinctly green, almost sherbet-like tartness rather than classic lemon sweetness. Bergamot follows quickly, softening the yuzu’s edge with a faintly floral, tea-leaf facet that settles the composition into a clean, airy register. Lily of the valley enters early, amplifying the green current with a dewy, muguet transparency that keeps the heart weightless and vaguely aquatic. Sandalwood in the base is pale and dry, more blond timber than creamy oriental, acting as a quiet wood filter that lets the citrus-green accord linger without turning soapy. The result feels like cool morning light on leaves after rain: crisp, faintly floral, never sugary. Projection stays within arm’s length for four hours, then becomes a skin whisper perfect for office or humid spring weekends.
