Yuzu Eau de Parfum
by Acqua di Parma
Yuzu Eau de Parfum by Acqua di Parma offers a delicate, watery floral-citrus opening with a prominent yuzu note that feels smooth and fresh rather than sharp or tart. The heart is softly floral—jasmine, lotus, and mimosa mingle with a subtle green and ozonic quality, creating a light, airy sensation reminiscent of a summer garden or a seaside onsen. The drydown brings a faint licorice note alongside soft musk and sandalwood, giving a quietly elegant and slightly powdery finish. Though praised for its beautiful, nuanced composition and suitability for warm weather, the fragrance is universally noted for its weak performance: it lasts only a few hours on most skin types, with minimal projection and sillage. The experience feels more like a brief whisper than a lasting presence, making it ideal for intimate wear or those who prefer minimalist, lightly diffused scents.
Pros

Cons

- −The fragrance is perceived as thin and underdeveloped, lacking strength or presence.
