i was critical at first...
i was critical of the entire Signatures of the Sun line from AdP.
I thought I could expect more women's fragrances for my taste here...
Yuzu, however, has completely hooked me. My current absolute favorite fragrance!

The fragrance impresses with its skillful interplay. The fragrance is absolutely natural, not synthetic, sweet but not at all feminine sweet, a little creamy, absolutely noble and round.
The freshness that plays together is the decisive point for me that makes Yuzu absolutely superior to the somewhat less expensive Colonia Pura (which in my opinion goes in a similar direction).
I think EVERYONE who is interested in niche perfumes and especially likes fresh, natural fragrances should try Yuzu :)

You can of course argue about the longevity, it's not particularly strong as is typical for AdP...
The sillage is also not overly convincing when sprayed moderately.
But that's not what would suit this fragrance!
The fragrance should and must be an understatement, it suits the fragrance only too well that it is mainly perceptible to people who come close to you.
That's exactly the point. Not to show the whole world and even the last row on the train what a great perfume you are wearing, but to smell good for yourself and your companions when strolling through the city, to smell pleasant for yourself and the person sitting next to you in the cab. It's not about catching everyone's eye but smelling good for the important people.

If you recognize things in this review that don't fit, please let me know, I haven't been working with fragrances for too long and I'm happy to learn if I've made mistakes. :)
Greetings Paul

Japanese gardens
Between temples and Buddha figures. Cherry blossoms and bonsai trees. It is precisely in this Japanese-inspired environment that I would classify this fragrance by AdP. Characterized by fresh yuzu, lots of flowers and a lot of musk, Yuzu is a very good fragrance. I would like to briefly express this walk through Japan here.

The journey begins with an intense citrusy yuzu that is significantly spicier than a normal lemon, for example, which is mainly due to the Szechuan pepper, which also smells good. Nevertheless, I find it very pleasant and it ensures that the yuzu stands out as a summer fragrance from many other lemon fragrances or becomes unique. This character continues into the base, but becomes weaker and weaker over time and is then masked by other fragrance notes.

After around half an hour, however, the floral notes come in. These are very clean thanks to the jasmine and violet and harmonize beautifully with the still strong yuzu. The heart note doesn't smell bad at all, but it doesn't cause any enthusiasm either, as it is once again a combination of "lemon" and flowers.

These floral notes continue into the base, where they are accompanied by an intense musk. Not at all animalistic, but very creamy and soft, as we know it from Acqua di Parma fragrances. You can also smell the liquorice really well. However, I don't like it quite as much in this combination and it could have been left out, as it exudes a really pithy sweetness that pulls the drydown in an unpleasant direction for me.

I would describe the fragrance as unisex throughout, on the one hand due to the rather masculine freshness and on the other hand due to the feminine floral accords in the heart note.

However, I think the price of the fragrance is too high for what it offers.

To sum up, an average summer fragrance that combines a few other notes besides yuzu and flower that you don't smell together every day. However, I will most probably not buy it myself.

Yuzu
Got the fragrance as a gift. Am back and forth. First in the top note citrus and some bitter orange, then quickly creamy and soft, no long-lasting fragrance, but elegant and distinguished.
There are more powerful and long-lasting fragrances in the price league. I love him, but price performance is at the limit at € 200, -. Belongs for Italo fragrance fans in the collection.

Bright, but flat, citrus. Smells like I was cutting fruit and got some on my shirt.

An airy floral bouquet with an effervescent citrus and pepper top. Watery but with a soft fizz.

Citrus explosion start with tiny hint of pepper. Later white floral, jasmine dominates. Very pleasant, not for men imo. Poor longevity.
