In Japan, when the yuzu citrus ripens in winter, traditional baths are taken with the whole yuzu fruits floating in the water, imparting their delightful scent and invigorating the senses. Note de Yuzu, Heeley’s collaboration with the Tokyo-Parisian fashion house and music label Maison Kitsuné takes the yuzu bath as the perfect point of departure to encapsulate British, French, and Japanese influences into a sparkling, soothing, sensual fragrance.

Note de Yuzu opens as exuberantly as a bottle of champagne, the celebratory pop filling the air with effervescent droplets. The energy and zest of Japanese yuzu are drenched in hydration with tart lemon and fruity mandarine. As the immediate fruity freshness softens, the gentle marine notes unfold like saltwater on skin, reminiscent of Heeley’s iconic Sel Marin, but with a clean, sensual white musk base. Note de Yuzu is a charming tonic for the senses, imparting that cool-kid vibe of relaxed chic done right.

Here's what other people are saying about Note de Yuzu...

Didn't work on my skin personally, but I like where they were going with this. If you're not sure about the salty seaweed notes, this isn't a super safe blind buy. However, the yuzu smelled very fresh and not synthetic - I got a bit of bitterness from the rind pith rather than juicy pulp, as if you've just cut into a yuzu. But I felt the salty seaweed overpowered everything for me, unless I really focused on finding that yuzu note.

Love the fresh and unusual mix of citrus. Unfortunately, even after applying a heavy dose, it wears off in under 10 minutes. Outrageous for a perfume that costs $200. Big disappointment.

Just wanted to say this has one of the best and brightest Yuzu notes I've ever smelled -- and I've been to Japan! Check out Fragrantica and Basenotes for more reviews as few people write their impressions here...

Amazing scent. Unfortunately the bottle cap doesn't click into place. Just sent an email to customer service to see if I can possibly get a replacement.

I wanted to love this. Unfortunately it went straight to soap on my skin. I often have this experience with orange in fragrances. I hoped it might change, but it did not.

An explosion of lemons and oranges and everything citrus. Personally I interpret this as femme. If I smelled this on someone else I would surly be in love.

In addition to all that citrusy brightness, yuzu has (on me at least) an interesting hint of chocolate somewhere in the mix. Note de Yuzu's mandarin-lemon fizz and sophisticated salt / marine base play nicely with that, giving the composition deliciousness and depth. Even better, drydown and skin warmth are incredibly kind to Note de Yuzu; hours later, the impression is still clean and bright without sourness. If you appreciate the friendly-road-warrior aspect of Diptyque's Vetyverio, check this charmer out.
