Yuzu Marmalade Humongous Miniature Splash
$10.00
0.5 oz
The Scent: Yuzu is a unique Asian citrus, with vanilla and apple-like undertones. Demeter's Yuzu scent is in the form of marmalade, so the sweetness of the fruit and sugar or honey are balanced by the sharpness of the Yuzu zest.
The Inspiration: Our travels to the Republic of South Korea exposed us to this traditional Korea treat. The gift of a homemade batch inspired us to make this fragrance.

Reviews
"I received my Demeter order nearly a month after placing it, and every single cotton candy product smells like artificial grape cough syrup. I have purchased Demeter’s cotton candy scent in the past and it was amazing, this batch is nothing like that. There is absolutely no cotton candy scent here, just an overpowering, cheap grape note that never dries down and is honestly nauseating. If this is due to a formula change, quality control issue, or new management, it’s a massive downgrade."
Nothing like Yuzu
"I own a yuzu tree. I've had yuzu marmalade. This smells nothing like yuzu. If you wanted something scented like yuzu, this is absolutely NOT it."
In Summer-y. . .
"Glad to add this one to my summer fragrance lineup. I agree with everyone else that it doesn't smell exactly like yuja-cha/yuzu marmalade, but it's delightfully sweet in a different kind of citrusy way, soft and rounded rather than sharp and acidic. And if that sounds like it apeels (lol) to you, I recommend giving this one a try."
Sweet fruity smell
"Doesn’t really smell like yuzu but will certainly work if you want a fruity smell"
"Sweeter than real yuzu, which I suppose is where the marmalade comes in. It is softly citrus, not bright like orange, spicy like bergamot, or bitter like grapefruit. It is gentle and refreshing. This is what I want my summers to smell like."
Smells like shampoo
"I feel like it could give people a headache."
Smells like candy
"Nice bright smell. Doesn't not resemble 유자차 very closely. More like a sugary orange-flavor bubblegum. Pretty powerful, does not combine well with other scents."
I love it!
"I'm half Korean and while I will say that this doesn't necessarily smell like authentic yuzu marmalade tea that comes in a jar, I actually love it so, so, SO much more than all of Demeter's other citrus fragrances, all of which I found to be either too much sharp or too bitter for my personal tastes (I went through the A - Z list and ordered sample sizes of each citrus scent). This one is sweet and SO charming, and you can smell the sugar and honey so nicely. The yuzu scent isn't necessarily that strong, but I think that this fragrance smells like an amazing blend of citrus and sugar and sunshine and happy memories, and as soon as I tried on the purse spray sampler I got right back onto the website to buy the massage oil and the 1 oz cologne! This is gonna be my signature scent for 2019!! Can't say enough good things about it, I'm in love!"
