Yuzu, orange, and grapefruit open with a juicy, slightly bitter citrus splash — the yuzu sharper than lemon, the grapefruit lending a faint sulphurous edge.

By the editors · 2 min readYuzu, orange, and grapefruit open with a juicy, slightly bitter citrus splash — the yuzu sharper than lemon, the grapefruit lending a faint sulphurous edge.
The heart introduces neroli, jasmine, and orange blossom, the white florals held in a clean, transparent register that extends rather than complicates the citrus. The effect is more cologne-floral than indolic.
The drydown leans on white musk and vetiver — vetiver dry and rooty, musk laundered — with a soft vanilla glow underneath that warms without sweetening. The overall character is a fresh citrus-floral cologne with a light gourmand whisper at the close. It projects briskly in the first hour and settles into a near-skin warmth suited to warm-weather daytime wear.
