Yuzu Man

Well I never...I'm not a fan of this house at all but this is a bit of a stunner from Caron. Okay okay 'stunner' might be a bit strong and you might think I'm a little too easily impressed but I really like Yuzu man. I still have plenty of sample juice left for several more wears and this has to be one of the best Yuzu notes I've encountered it's sharp and refreshing and the lemon verbena reminds me of a fizzy lemonade lolly vibe I get from a L'Occitane fragrance the name of which escapes me. Anyway Caron Yuzu man had a definite fresh fig quality too and it creates more of a watery vibe than most aquatics do without even trying. The base is a subtle cedar which compliments the whole composition and adds to the transparent nature of this juice. Yuzu man is thirst quenching almost like you could down the whole bottle and it would be ice cool & hydrate you 400% more than water.(or some other extreme fraction of hyperbole) The only downside to this super simple, almost perfect summer juice is that it performed very poorly longevity wise. I want a citrus that lasts and this doesn't at least on my first two wears. I'm going to persevere with it though and see how I get on but I suspect if it doesn't last when I'm not as active in the cooler months it won't last during activity in the height of summer. Still a great fragrance though...maybe some musk in the base wouldve given it a little more staying power? Who knows? Update: The drydown spices up a touch after that wonderfully juicy opener, I can detect fig and a slightly more herbal quality coming through. The cedar is a nice base but still doesn't last on my skin, it does however last on clothing which isn't really saying much because most fragrance does. Shame because this smells great and is more than meets the eye...or nose.

Peak summer heat is the perfect time for light, dry scents and this is easily the lightest citrus scent in my collection. Yuzu is a wonderful, light-touch citrus note that works very well with other heavier notes to soften them around the edges, but it can carry its own quite well as the primary note in a light and breezey warm weather scent as it does here. The basil and spice are most notable in the opening, then you start to get more of the fig and cedar in the drydown, while the verbena complements the yuzu very well all the way through. This definintely has a much sweeter drydown than opening, but it's very light projection-wise to the point that I doubt you can overapply it. It remains relentlessly pleasant and light. Like most warm-weather scents, it's incredibly versatile, working well formally or casually, day or night. I haven't tested it too much yet to see how much your body warmth enhances projection, but I imagine it would function in that manner similarly to all typical warm-weather citrus scents. I tend to use this more casually since I have some great warm-weather scents with a splash of musk for the evening (Eau Sauvage, 1881), but I would have no problem putting this on for a summer evening out. Caron is quickly becoming one of my favorite makers, and I'm glad their ownership situation seems to be more stable that it had been for so long (which explains all the packaging variations in recent times). I find myself reaching for their bottles more and more - and I just got their original men's scent, and I don't think it's too long before I get my hands on Yatagan.

A fantastic clean, citrus and woods with a soft touch of musk to round it out very nicely. Not bitter or sharp with a slight infusion of sweetness but, it has facets of the aromatics from the likes of Issey Miyake L'Eau PH & Azzaro PH L'Eau. I also get a tinge of Clubman/Pinaud Citrus Musk type vibe, with that lightly sweetened powdery barbershop nuance, it's light but, really done nicely. A very refreshing take for a summer fragrance that has an infusion of both old world & modern/contemporary facets mixed to near perfection. Slightly herbal with green like facets tied in with that crisp yuzu up top that slowly melds into a soft yet masculine woods drydown and as I stated previously, a soft and sweetened skin like musk that screams for one to slap on some flip-flops, linen slacks & an all cotton linen rolled up sleeves shirt with a mojito cocktail in hand. Clean, refined and super comfortable. Tired of the relentless onslaught of blue shower gel offerings or all citrus & marine aquatics that no one can differentiate? Yuzu Man by Caron has a very well done mix of citrus & aromatics to beat the heat in comfort & style. Caron PH Sport can give a bit more classy vibe that will also work just as good as Yuzu Man. Both are well worth having in a man's fragrance collection.

I blind bought and owned Yuzu Man for a couple of years. Thankfully, I purchased the 125ml because I adore this juice. It shines about this time of the year. The opening is dominated by the yuzu citrus that is toned down by the greenness of the basil. The yuzu is more refined than L'Eau D'Issey and other similar fragrances. The most outstanding quality of the fragrance is the transition from one stage to another. The transition is subtle and evolves gradually to the middle. The heart is juicy fruit concoction but again subdued and well mannered. However, the opening notes do linger and fade gradually as the scent moves towards the base notes. The base is woody but a whiff of yuzu pops up every now and then. The sillage and longevity are pretty impressive for a citrus based scent. The scent is clean and fresh, of course, and is well suited for the warm spring and summer days. It can be worn casually but also for upscale summer parties. Yuzu Man can be worn by any age group although it being a Caron, makes it more suited for the mature crowd. BTW, my wife and daughter like it a lot and use it surreptitiously. They believe that I wouldn't notice but I do, hence I bought myself a backup bottle. Hush, hush! 7/10

Koku çok güzel ama eşsiz değil. Sadece yapaylık hissetmediğim, özellikle sonbahar ve kış haricinde kullanıma uygun bulduğum bir parfüm. Dediğim gibi kokuyu çok sevdim. ferah, çok az tatlımsı ve sevmeyeni olmayacak bir koku. Farkedilirliği başlarda yüksek ama hem kalıcılık hem fark edilebilirlik açısından denediğim şu kış aylarında biraz vasat kaldı. Genç ve ergen yaşlara gayet uygun. Uzun uzadıya yazacak çok fazla şeyi yok. Sadece kokusunu duyan herkesin beğeneceği ve yaşlı işi olmayan bir parfüm arıyorsanız kalite açısından iyi bir seçim olur. Türkiye şartlarında bulmak ve fiyat biraz sorunlu olsa da güzel bir seçim olur. Yine de aradığınız kaliteden öte kalıcılık ve farkedilirlik ise çok daha ucuza bulabileceğiniz alternatifler oldukça fazla.
