Pierre Guillaume Paris Yuzu Ab Irato 09 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006, created by Pierre Guillaume. Yuzu Ab Irato 09 opens with Yuzu and Mint, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Jasmine, Magnolia, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Myrtle, Bamboo, Thyme, and Hyssop. Pierre Guillaume Paris's Yuzu Ab Irato 09 carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher; Yuzu Ab Irato is a Marmite scent. Expect a startlingly sharp, almost medicinal citrus and mint blast that quickly swerves into herbal, woody, and sometimes surprisingly sour or even 'dusty' territory. Definitely sample first, as it's either uniquely compelling or a hard pass.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its moderate sillage and sharp, clean opening make it passable for a casual office if applied lightly, but its divisive nature means it's safer for casual daytime wear or even sport. It’s too avant-garde and potentially off-putting for dates or formal events.

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.

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

Opens with an eye-watering jolt of tart yuzu and bracing mint, like a zesty, almost medicinal citrus blast that clears the sinuses. As it settles, a floral core emerges with hyacinth and jasmine, sharply contrasted by a peppery kick. The drydown veers into an aromatic, green medley of thyme, bamboo, and myrtle, creating an unexpectedly woody and herbal finish that splits opinion from fresh to surprisingly sour.
