Yuzu Rouge

Just lovely, I usually do not care for citrus scents but luckyscent sent me a free sample with another purchase and I used it all up in one day and bought it right then. Its so clean and juicy but i do not think the lasting power is great. It leaves a hint of fragrance for a long time, like clean skin after a shower. Reapplication is a must to really smell it. Still totally dont regret the purchase, its lovely in every way- a total wrist sniffer. Its like a grapefruit with sugar but more complex. I can def smell the cassis and lemon/verbena and i think the description of the scent and notes are pretty accurate. Would be a good choice in sample ( you can request specific samples at checkout at luckyscent.com and they will usually give you what you ask for.) I would also like to note that i also purchased the candle of this and it is not terribly fragrant and smells slightly different from the spray so i would not suggest it. I will def be more keen on citrus in the future thanks to this one, but I haven't found anything as good as my beloved yuzu rouge yet. i just want to add that i have shown this to quite a few people and everyone has fallen in love! The rose note stands out to me, and it seems to get better each time i try it. I dont think i can ever bear to run out of this!

Yuzu Rouge is one of my favorite citrus scents. It is simply gorgeous. It is fresh and natural, light but noticeable, uplifting and so easy and pleasant to wear. It instantly transports me to a sunlit patio with white fancy tables and chairs surrounded by a rose garden where I sit and enjoy the sunshine and have a cool drink of lemonade on a beautiful summer hot day. The composition fits perfectly together. It is refined and very tasteful. The scent opens with a lovely, sparkly combination of yuzu, grapefruit and bergamot. The heart notes are fresh, light and luminous rose with green tea note and just a hint of nutmeg. I also smell verbena here. The scent actually reminds me a bit of Verbena by L’Occitane (another beautiful citrus scent but not as long lasting). The dry down lasts for a while and it is musk on my skin with a lovely tea note. My Overall Score is 9.5/10. This scent smells great, it makes me feel happy and it is so versatile. I have an extensive perfume collection but Yuzu Rouge was the scent I reached for a lot this summer. I wore it to work, outdoor events, at home. It fits well to almost any environment, it never overpowers and it smells great. The lasting power and sillage are great too.

I love how delightful this scent is. It smells of a fresh, citrusy, peppery rose. Okay, just reading these notes doesn't make this fragrance sound particularly special. But it's the quality of the ingredients (the rose smells juicy and fresh and light instead of that artificial rose scent) and the wonderful peppery zest that really make this pop. It's so rare to find a light and fresh fragrance that is both simple yet utterly unique. Bonus points for the staying power, which is pretty good for a fresh citrus/floral like this.

On me this is a hushed rose, it stays very close to the skin. It is unobtrusive, but it manages to sparkle all the same. That's the word I would use: Sparkle. This has become my signature scent, I really couldn't be without it :)It lasts a long time on my skin, and hours later I still smell divinely rosy and crisp, which is awesome when you live in a hot climate like I do.

Opens with strong refreshing Yuzu and grapefruit. The opening is cold and sparkling like a soda fresh from the fridge. The citruses fade while rose with black currant syrup and the zesty herbiness of verbena become apparent. Eventually those also ease and what is left is the ambergris, moss and tea, this translates as the slightly dry/toasted scent of tea leaves on soft musk bordered with faint fresh rose, the rose is a little waxy-creamy. I can't pick out the nutmeg or cardamon, so it doesn't smell spicy to me. I only get fresh citrus, (brief) sweet black currant, fresh rose, and musk. Thankfully the musk is light and not screechy. It's very nice, bright, clean (but not soapy), well done, and smooth. However, there's a note in the base that disagrees with me, either the moss or the ambergris, and it feels almost cloying, almost a little nauseating but never quite gets there. Overall, the base note I dislike keeps this from being a love, but I do own a bottle, so it's a strong like. Stylistically it reminds me of Pamplemousse Rose from Hermes, which I prefer. Yuzu Rouge has more silage and projection but Pamplemousse Rose has no offensive notes, so when I'm in the mood for citrusy rose, I reach for that over Yuzu Rouge.
