Parfums Caron Yuzu Man is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011, created by Richard Fraysse. Yuzu Man opens with Yuzu, Basil, and Lemon Verbena, settles into a heart of Fruity Notes, Black Fig, and Pistachio, and dries down to a base of Spicy Notes, Virginia Cedarwood, and Sandalwood. Parfums Caron's Yuzu Man carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a subtle, elegant summer scent that’s a bit of a mixed bag. Some find it a refined, understated take on yuzu; others call it weak and generic. Don't expect a powerhouse, but it could be your next warm-weather go-to if you appreciate quiet sophistication.

Scent Profile

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.

Its moderate performance and fresh, clean profile make it excellent for casual wear and the office, where it won't overpower. It's too light for formal events but works well for daytime dates and light activities, especially in warm weather.

About

Yuzu Man opens with a bright, zesty burst of yuzu and lemon verbena, underpinned by a hint of aromatic basil for a fresh, green edge. As it settles, a subtle fruitiness emerges with soft fig and a creamy, nutty pistachio note (or lentisk, depending on who you ask), adding an unexpected smoothness. The drydown is a gentle blend of warm cedarwood and sandalwood, with a whisper of spice, keeping it clean yet grounded.
