The Scoop

Morning's first light shimmers over azure waters that reach into fragrant orange groves. A tale that began long ago turns into love, a promise of enchantment is fulfilled. It is with these words from an ancient Chinese love poem that the Altaia founders consider the magical providence of their own first meeting, amongst the fragrant Mediterranean orange groves of Southern Italy, 140 years after their ancestors first crossed paths in Argentina.

Yu Son combines a mouthwatering, juicy burst of mandarin with smooth, cooling green tea and rich, natural orange blossom absolute, resulting in a fragrance of deeply resonant Mediterranean freshness with distinctly Asian flourishes. As the poem suggests, Yu Son lives in the space between infatuation- bright, exhilarating and kinetic- and love- rich, warm and deeply satisfying. The results are a fragrance with the power to both captivate and comfort, a true thing of beauty.

Here's what other people are saying about Yu Son...

While this has the same freshness as other Altaia scents, I only get a slightly bitter citrus that I sense as grapefruit behind that freshness. Just disappointing in comparison.

Wow Truly an amazing fragrance, this is such a comforting fragrance. It takes me back to when I went on my first cruise to Mexico. The memory of luxury soaps, sea water at night and the green tea at tea time.

By Brian - Analyst from Orlando on 2/1/2017

An incredible juicy, almost syrupy opening note of satsuma (a seriously great olfactory likeness, in fact) first calms down a bit, then gets a clean and sparkly little lift from green tea and modulates into a lovely, not at all heavy amber. I was concerned when the notes included iris -- did we really need a death's head at the garden party? -- but it turns out to be there only to maintain a bit of composure, a sort of garden wall in the sunshine. A low-sillage delight.

Liquid heaven.

By Candeo - Dragon Slayer from Violet on 9/1/2016

I was eagerly looking forward to receiving my sample of this scent based on reviews I've seen on a few websites. To my nose, this is strongly reminiscent of Estee Lauder White Linen and unfortunately, I'm not a fan of that fragrance at all. That said, Yu Son is definitely superior to White Linen in that it is not as sharp or synthetic.

Full-bottle worthy. I am fussy about fragrances, I want them to develop over time, don't want a sillage monster and want it to last. This was all that and more. An excellent fragrance for summer and one that will last into winter. I don't get the separate notes, I do get a well-blended floral that is light but long-lasting, enticing and juicy.
