Monogatari Yuzu is a unisex perfume from 2025 by the Russian brand Monogatari.
This eau de parfum has a distinctive citrus-woody character, created for those who appreciate fresh, clean and simultaneously rich compositions.
The fragrance is built around yuzu — a bright citrus note with a cool bitterness, sparkling tartness and characteristic green freshness.
Combined with coniferous pine and Japanese hinoki, it smells less like an ordinary citrus splash and more like a walk through a damp forest, where sunlit air mingles with the scent of wood.
Monogatari Yuzu was created by perfumer Eugene Ti.
His composition is concise and cohesive: there is no overloaded pyramid, but there is a clear transition from a lively citrus opening to a tranquil woody heart and a soft musky finish.
At the opening, yuzu and pine create a feeling of coolness, purity and freshly cut conifer needles.
Then hinoki emerges — a dry, noble woody note with a subtly meditative mood, evoking Japanese baths, cedar pavilions and warm wood.
In the base, musk smooths the green and woody accents, adding clean softness and a lasting aftertaste.
As a result, Monogatari Yuzu retains its fresh character without fading too quickly: according to its profile, the fragrance has very strong sillage and can make a noticeable impression in its surroundings.
Monogatari Yuzu is positioned as a unisex fragrance, so it is easy to imagine it on both women's and men's skin.
It will appeal to fans of citrus, woody and musky compositions who are looking not for sweet fruitiness, but for a cooler, greener and more composed scent.
The fragrance develops best on spring and summer days, during the transitional seasons, and whenever you want to add energy and confidence to your look.
At the same time, its very strong sillage makes it a noticeable choice for evenings and cool weather, so it is best to apply it sparingly.
Specific recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided for this release.
The defining feature of Monogatari Yuzu is the contrast between vibrant yuzu, coniferous pine and tranquil hinoki.
The result is a fragrance with a natural character: fresh, woody, clean and fairly versatile, yet far from inconspicuous thanks to its rich sillage.
No other concentrations of Monogatari Yuzu are listed in the available data.
For a similar citrus mood, you might consider Aqua Savon / アクア シャボン Yuzu, although Monogatari Yuzu stands out with a more pronounced coniferous-woody depth and musky base.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The top notes open with yuzu and pine, where sparkling citrus freshness meets a cool coniferous accord.
Hinoki emerges at the heart, lending the fragrance a dry woody character and a serene Japanese touch. Musk forms the base, softening the transition and leaving a clean, noticeable trail on the skin.
Olfactively, the composition belongs to the citrus and woody fragrance families, with a musky nuance.
