Acqua di Parma introduced Yuzu to its prestigious Signatures of the Sun collection in 2019. Designed to highlight the olfactory profile of rare, precious ingredients, this fragrance centers on the Japanese yuzu fruit, a botanical known for its complex, tart, and aromatic character. As a unisex offering, the fragrance seeks to bridge the gap between traditional Italian citrus heritage and the delicate, nuanced profiles favored in contemporary perfumery. It is a sophisticated, minimalist composition that avoids the typical sharpness of common citrus scents, opting instead for a balanced, refined experience.
