Review of Note de Yuzu by RINA

Many perfumes that evoke the image of yuzu fruit have led Japanese people to believe that the yuzu is merely an imaginary fruit. However, this fragrance truly captures the familiar scent of yuzu that Japanese people feel a connection to. And it's not just yuzu; it's a wonderful "yuzu bath"! A yuzu bath is a unique Japanese custom, performed on the winter solstice, where people add yuzu to their bathwater for the purpose of "good health" and "warding off evil." This fragrance perfectly captures the subtle feeling of happiness one experiences when taking a yuzu bath, along with the characteristic acidity and bitterness of yuzu. The key to faithfully recreating this feeling lies in the accent of sea salt and the vetiver in the base notes! The vetiver adds transparency and moisture, evoking the image of a bathtub, while the sea salt enhances the yuzu scent. Despite its simple composition, this perfume beautifully captures the experience of a yuzu bath. It gives you the feeling of cleanliness you get after a yuzu bath, and it's a familiar and calming scent for Japanese people. I wonder what people from countries without a yuzu bath culture think? I'd really like to hear their opinions.
