Karl Lagerfeld Bois de Yuzu is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by Émilie Coppermann. Bois de Yuzu opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Yuzu, settles into a heart of Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Papyrus and Oakmoss. Karl Lagerfeld's Bois de Yuzu carries a Favourite verdict, a spicy-led wear.

This is a fresh citrus cheapie that's far better than its price tag suggests. While the yuzu blast is short-lived, it quickly dries down to a clean, understated aroma that lasts for ages on skin, making it an absolute steal for summer days. Don't be shy; over-spray it and bask in the zingy glory.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive character makes it perfect for the office, casual wear, or sports. The average projection prevents it from being too overpowering for close-quarters like an office, yet its persistent skin scent makes it a reliable choice for longer days out.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Eugenol from Nutmeg
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Bois de Yuzu kicks off with a vibrant, zesty burst of yuzu, grapefruit, and mandarin, sharpened by a clean mint and spicy ginger. It's a proper wake-up call. As the citrus mellows, a subtle nutmeg warmth emerges, before settling into a sophisticated, earthy base of papyrus and oakmoss, adding a lovely depth to the initial brightness.
