Note de Yuzu Heeley 2017

The citrus competition is extensive, it's not hard to get lost in it and choose something boring and popular. But certainly not with the 'Note de yuzu' fragrance. This citrus delight bomb doesn't let up. This unusual blend of exotic fruits and sea salt makes you feel like you're on a beach in the Canary Islands with a warm breeze hitting gently against your tanned skin. This is how this piece of wonder behaves.

After spraying the fragrance, we are enveloped in the wonder of these islands- amazing, juicy yuzu, lemon and orange. The whole thing is very fresh as well as zestfully bitter. The extremely original composition is very penetrating and sensual.
Sea salt, in being salty, does best. We are absorbed by the sensation of emerging from the depths of the ocean as the skin under the influence of the salt begins to wrinkle gently. This unusual sensation was unseen for me in any of the other salt scents so far.
The base here is Haitian vetiver and musk which brilliantly add a touch of sweetness, like a lemon tart on a hot day. As I used to compare, it is the essence of warm beaches at sunset. After a long day lying on the beach, we head in the evening, in comfortable sandals and a linen shirt, to a great restaurant by the cool water lapping against the rocks. It just feels great to hear people dancing and singing at dusk under the lighted totems, while being wrapped in our new favorite scent.

The beauty of this fragrance lies in the sunny and exotic heart of the eponymous yuzu, picked from the tree at the perfect moment of ripening. I can't imagine a better option for hot days on a faraway island. It is exceptionally long-lasting for a citrusy one and sufficiently noticeable. It has a special place in my heart and I think it is an extraordinary scraper of compliments. It is worth every penny and I will not fail to purchase myself even more of this summer young god.
