Have you worn Note de Yuzu?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. sapere aude

    It opens super citrusy, like breaking a fresh fennel branch. On skin, it evolves incredibly fast into something warm and very subtle, totally different from the start. I think it’s Haitian vetiver; I can smell it, but it has nothing to do with that potent green opening. The salt is noticeable from the very first moment. It’s a shame because I love that initial freshness, but it doesn’t last; on clothes, it will hold for an hour or two.

  2. Psicostasis

    It smells much greener than Chuli, spicy but with lots of complexity, quite pea-adjacent. It reminds me of peeling green beans with my grandmother, but it’s fresher and more ethereal.

    Much greener than Chuli, with a spicy touch but full of complexity, almost like peas. It brings me memories of peeling green beans with my grandmother, but it’s fresher and more ethereal.

    Opens very citrusy and then turns into Sel Marin. In the end, I’m left with that marine side.

  5. SirCharlie

    It’s been giving me a headache and ultimately didn’t end well. The opening is spectacular: citrus overload with yuzu, sweetened by grapefruit and freshened by musk. The marine part is timid, and for the first half-hour, everything is impeccable. But then it evolves unnecessarily heavily, like algae and sea (similar to Sel Marin from the same brand), losing its initial charm and settling into a generic scent, like Acqua di Sale. I agree with @ngarcia’s good description, but I feel disappointed and wouldn’t recommend it. I only value that it’s evolutive, but it makes no sense to smell like something else after such a captivating opening. Rating: 6/10
