Fabulous Yuzu

This perfumes reminds me of a fragrance that i received as a present a few years ago: Dolce Shine. I liked it but the solar note was offputting for me so i decluttered it. Fabulous Yuzu resembles a lot of that fragrance but without that disturbing solar note. I don't know if it's the smell itself but more of the emotions they bring. They both smell like a sunny, happy summer day. The image i have is a maiden with long blonde hair from the fairytales singing and picking flowers from the meadows, with a basket on the forearm in a warm summer morning

When I first got Fabulous Yuzu I wasn't impressed - performance seemed below Mancera's standards and the scent didn't convince me. 18 months later, the performance is great, easily lasting a full day. The scent has this perfect balance of freshness and warmth, and it's become one of my favorites from the house. Sometimes you just need to let a fragrance sit for a while and revisit it later.

While I do detect bitter citrus....it doesn't really come across as Yuzu to me. Overall pleasant, and quickly jumps to a woody sandal vanilla fragrance. Leans ever so slightly feminine, but still unisex overall. Good purchase of you can find this discounted for under $80 for 4oz (which I did).

Favorite summer scent from mancera, this smells like if you took Valentino born in Roma uomo and turned it into a niche fragrance. It's sweet vanilla-ish warm and slightly spiced floral citrus. It does NOT smell like toilet cleaner or air freshener if you've heard someone say that.

A decently unique take on a citrus fragrance. It does bring something new to the table by not using bergamot for the 5000th time and having lots of sweet notes. The vanilla and cinnamon give it lemon cake vibes, with no bitter lemon zest or anything like that.
