By the editors · 2 min readThe Yuzu edition of L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme is all citrus and air in the opening minutes — yuzu with its vinegary brightness alongside lemon, citron, and mandarin, stacked rather than blended. The citrus burns fast but ginger and nutmeg catch it before the composition collapses into generic freshness, adding a moment of heat that reads more kitchen spice than oriental.
Vetiver and cedar root the drydown without competing with the spice above. The result is a clean masculine that reads more Japan than France — precise, seasonal, wearing fast without quite being gone. Best projected at moderate distance; it has good intentions rather than ambition.
