Fabulous Yuzu

Yuzu, a citrus landmark of the Orient, particularly Japan. Consider that the tree branches from which it comes are covered with extremely sharp thorns that often damage the fruit, especially in high winds. Moreover, the same tree takes up to twenty years before giving its fruit. A citrus fruit very rich in properties, nourishing, healing, which is perfectly represented with this bright and fresh fragrance. A sparkling, slightly acidic opening gives way to a juicy, sweet mid part that brings out a wonderful mimosa and jasmine. A really pleasant perfume, great for the warmer seasons and which, despite being citrusy, has truly remarkable performances.

I love this fragrance. It is amazingly sour and yuzu like off the beginning it is slightly synthetic but i dont think its in a terrible way. After the dry down this turns into a calm vanilla scent. This vanilla scent has decent longevity but terrible silliage. I like wearing this for myself; the opening for the first 30 mins is lovely and i cant stop smelling that fresh yuzu. Besides that its a decent daily scent just for that calm clean vanilla base. If you like yuzu and citrus and dont care about longevity or silllage this is for you its like virgin island waters: Amazing smell but performance means its not worth it.

This perfumes reminds me of a fragrance that i received as a present a few years ago: Dolce Shine. I liked it but the solar note was offputting for me so i decluttered it. Fabulous Yuzu resembles a lot of that fragrance but without that disturbing solar note. I don't know if it's the smell itself but more of the emotions they bring. They both smell like a sunny, happy summer day. The image i have is a maiden with long blonde hair from the fairytales singing and picking flowers from the meadows, with a basket on the forearm in a warm summer morning Bliss!

When I first got Fabulous Yuzu I wasn't impressed - performance seemed below Mancera's standards and the scent didn't convince me. 18 months later, the performance is great, easily lasting a full day. The scent has this perfect balance of freshness and warmth, and it's become one of my favorites from the house. Sometimes you just need to let a fragrance sit for a while and revisit it later.

Favorite summer scent from mancera, this smells like if you took Valentino born in Roma uomo and turned it into a niche fragrance. It's sweet vanilla-ish warm and slightly spiced floral citrus. It does NOT smell like toilet cleaner or air freshener if you've heard someone say that.
