PUMA Yellow is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012. Yellow opens with Bergamot, Apple, and Blackberry, settles into a heart of Marigold, Rose, Violet, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Teak. PUMA's Yellow carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a bit divisive, with some finding it a cheerful, unoffensive summer grab-and-go, while others detect some rather off-putting notes. Expect an energetic, fresh, and fleeting scent that's either 'love it' or 'leave it'.

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 intimate sillage and fresh, light character make it perfect for casual wear, office environments, and even post-gym. However, its lack of longevity and bold presence means it's not ideal for dates or formal events where you want to make a lasting impression.

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

Puma Yellow kicks off with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and crisp apple, intertwined with the sweet, tart juiciness of blackberry. As it settles, a floral heart emerges, featuring the gentle greenness of violet, the soft elegance of magnolia, and the classic romance of rose. The base grounds the composition with a warm, woody embrace of cedar, sandalwood, and teak, softened by a whisper of iris and creamy vanilla, leaving a light, musky trail.
