Yuzu Fou

It is to these that the house of Parfum d'Empire pays tribute through its fragrance Yuzu Fou. It is a concentrate of citrus, a water brimming with freshness and vivacity that is particularly enjoyable to wear daily.

Parfum d'Empire claims the freshness of yuzu

The yuzu is a fruit that can currently be said to be on the rise. It is a citrus fruit the size of an orange or a small grapefruit, with a yellow color. It originates from Japan and has a thick, slightly bumpy skin. Its zest is particularly prized for its intensely fragrant flavor. Moreover, yuzu is widely used in Asian cuisine. Nevertheless, it must be noted that it is also increasingly present in perfumery today. Creators enjoy enhancing their compositions with its contemporary, sparkling character, which has the happy gift of transporting us in an instant. Yuzu is a product that is both botanical and yet ultra-urban. Its flavor alone is enough to plunge us into a world that is high-tech and natural, where glass and steel stand alongside a suspended nature made of vertical gardens and rooftop landscapes. The result is an utterly tangy fragrance, an icy freshness that never grows tiresome to rediscover, especially in summer and on a hot summer day.

The fresh luminosity of Yuzu Fou

While yuzu increasingly accompanies fragrances in their top notes, it remains fairly rare for it to be the main ingredient of a composition. Parfum d'Empire therefore took up the challenge and made this citrus fruit the central element of Yuzu Fou. This fragrance opens on a sparkling flavor rich in vitamin C. Yuzu reveals here its full tangy power and pairs it with bitter accents further amplified by the presence of bitter orange. Mint, for its part, lends it a colder character and makes this fragrance a particularly invigorating juice. Verbena also reinforces the freshness of the whole, giving it a more metallic edge. Moreover, in the Land of the Rising Sun, verbena is reputed to be relaxing, which makes Yuzu Fou a particularly soothing juice. Then clear cedar enters the scene, bringing a more spiritual dimension to this fragrance. Indeed, it is a sacred wood in Japan. Asians say that it fosters optimism and a sense of well-being. Bamboo then accompanies this moment of fullness with its green scent. Finally, Yuzu Fou closes on a more floral, honeyed base in which white musks and neroli intertwine with sensuality. The whole is nothing but sweetness, sensuality, sunshine, and escape.
