Additional information
A Japanese breeze. Clean, bright, vegetal.
Yuzu to start, verbena to structure, white musks to soothe.
There's something special about Japanese freshness — a precision, a lightness, a sense of space that sets Japanese aesthetics apart from all others. Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, independent perfumer and doctor in plant chemistry, founder of Parfum d'Empire, embraces this with Yuzu Fou — his brightest and purest composition, a stark contrast to the baroque resins of Wazamba or the carnal density of Aziyadé. Yuzu Fou demonstrates that Corticchiato can also choose absolute clarity — and succeed with the same mastery as in his most intense compositions.
In this Eau de Parfum concentration, the composition opens with a fruity and slightly floral vibrancy of immediate precision and freshness. Yuzu, kumquat, bitter orange, and mint create a remarkably clean and bright citrus opening — yuzu with its slightly lemony, slightly floral, and slightly spicy facets that immediately distinguish it from conventional citrus, kumquat with its slight fruity bitterness, bitter orange with its more complex and slightly bitter facets compared to sweet orange, and mint that provides a slightly camphorated freshness giving the whole a characteristic crispness and liveliness. Lemon verbena, bamboo accord, and cedarwood then arrive at the heart in a vegetal and slightly woody material of remarkable elegance and verticality — verbena with its slightly lemony and slightly herbaceous facets extending the opening's freshness into a more complex vegetal dimension, bamboo accord with its aquatic and slightly green lightness, cedar providing a dry and slightly angular woody structure. Neroli and white musks settle in the base in a floral and musky sweetness of airy lightness and persistence — neroli with its slightly bitter and slightly honeyed facets, white musks in their enveloping purity. Yuzu Fou is a perfume for breathing — one that makes you feel immediately at home.
Yuzu Fou is the scent for those who know that the best-constructed clarity is often the hardest to achieve.

A word from Maison Diaphane
Yuzu Fou is the Parfum d'Empire fragrance we recommend for spring and summer, or as an entry point into the house for those not yet ready for denser compositions. The opening yuzu is remarkably precise and lively — nothing like a synthetic lemon. The verbena in the heart is slightly lemony and slightly vegetal, with discreet elegance. And the white musk-neroli base has an airy lightness and persistence that makes this fragrance a luminous second skin for the whole day.

Yuzu Fou Eau de Parfum by Parfum d'Empire is a unisex citrus fragrance created by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato — independent perfumer, doctor in plant chemistry, and founder of Parfum d'Empire. It explores Japanese yuzu in its brightest and most vegetal version — kumquat, bitter orange, mint in the opening, verbena and bamboo in the heart, neroli and white musks in the base — in a fresh and refined composition of remarkable elegance and persistence. Available at Maison Diaphane, official retailer in Angers, for €122. Free delivery from €100 (in France).
Its olfactory pyramid revolves around a vegetal, fresh, and slightly woody verbena-bamboo-cedar heart of discreet elegance, preceded by a lively, bright, and slightly spicy yuzu-kumquat-bitter orange-mint opening, and extended by a light, floral, and persistent neroli-white musk base. In Eau de Parfum, the composition unfolds all its citrus lightness and lasts for 4 to 6 hours.
Yuzu Fou is a bright and vegetal Japanese citrus fragrance with a moderate sillage, ideal for everyday wear all year round, worn by both women and men.
What is yuzu and how is it different from lemon?
Yuzu — Citrus junos — is a Japanese citrus fruit cultivated mainly in Japan, Korea, and China. Its olfactory facets are remarkably complex: slightly lemony, slightly floral, slightly tangerine, and slightly spicy — an aromatic dimension that ordinary lemon does not possess. The yuzu peel is particularly aromatic and concentrated in essential oils. In perfumery, it brings a distinctive, immediately recognizable freshness that distinguishes Japanese-inspired compositions from conventional Mediterranean citrus.
Is Yuzu Fou the most accessible Parfum d'Empire fragrance?
Along with Salute! and Iskander, yes — it is one of the most immediately accessible fragrances from the house. Its vegetal citrus structure is universally appreciated, its moderate sillage makes it suitable for all circumstances, and its Japanese and refined character makes it a very good entry point into the Parfum d'Empire universe for those hesitant about the intensity of denser compositions.
What is the difference between Yuzu Fou, Iskander, and Azemour — the three Parfum d'Empire citrus fragrances?
Azemour les Orangers is the most generous and sun-drenched — ten Mediterranean citrus fruits, henna, Moroccan warmth. Iskander is the most structured and classic — citron, neroli, oakmoss, French elegance. Yuzu Fou is the freshest and most refined — Japanese yuzu, verbena, bamboo, Asian lightness. Three citrus fragrances for three distinct olfactory cultures: the Mediterranean, classic Europe, contemporary Japan.
What season is Yuzu Fou made for?
All year round — this is one of its main strengths. Its luminous freshness makes it suitable for spring and summer, and the white musk-neroli base gives it the necessary softness for autumn and winter. It is a full-season fragrance, elegant for everyday wear, suitable for the office as well as weekends. The perfect definition of a versatile fragrance.
