Yuzu
Acqua di Parma (2020)

This is a pleasant citrus scent, but I don't think it justifies the price. If you enjoy this type of fragrance, I would recommend going with Le Jardin de Monsieur Li from Hermès instead. It's very similar and costs less. While ADP's Yuzu may be a bit stronger in the opening, I personally prefer Monsieur Li for its transparency and lightness. However, the more I smell ADP's Yuzu, the more generic it feels, and I don't think it's worth the price. For this price range, I would suggest looking into MFK's Acqua fragrances, although even those can be overpriced.

The opening is mainly bergamot, not very fresh, mixed with the yuzu that gives this product its name. A transient dash of Sichuan pepper add s brief diversion, but disappears quickly on me.

he drydown is floral, with a pleasant mimosa evident mainly. Other florals are joining, a faint lotus, weak violet leaves and equally restrained green jasmine.

The base adds faint hints of licorice and white musks. A nonspecific woodsiness marks the last half hour or so; but not much of the sandalwood promised in the description is noted.

I get weak sillage, limited projection, and three hours of longevity on my skin.

This summery scent is characterised by a simple but pleasant opening, a fairly generic drydown, and a bland base. Not impressive at all. 2.5/5

Disappointing for an expensive high end fragrance,

Cirtus based, lasts an hour before turning into a faint skin fragrance. Indiscernible after 2 hours.

Really shocked Acqua di Parma are turning out stuff like this.
