Description
While its exact date of origin is unknown, Limoncello is admittedly a typical liqueur from
southern Italy. His preparation is specifically made from lemon zests of the Femminello Santa Teresa variety from Sorrento, a town on the Amalfi Coast. The extracted oil is then mixed with sugar syrup, resulting in a thick and opaque yellow liquid.
Yuzucello seeks to reproduce the essence of the famous Italian liqueur, emphasizing its tangy and effervescent facets with yuzu (Japanese citrus with a more complex, intense and prolonged aroma) and its warm and full-bodied facet with sandalwood and tonka beans. Herbaceous and floral nuances bring freshness and brightness, making it a comfortable
and noticeable scent without compromising its tasty aspect.
Yuzucello by Daniel Barros is a Citrus Gourmand fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Yuzucello was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Daniel Barros. Top notes are yuzu, lemon, basil, artemisia and grass; middle notes are neroli, lily-of-the-valley, cypress and; base notes are sandalwood, tonka bean, sugar and musk.

A friend of mine, whose nose is very sensitive, told me the heart notes reminded him of a horrible perfume we both know, before I did the test myself. I thought he was just joking and let it be.
Unbelievable opening, so bright and delicious that I was up to pick a new favorite! I’m always disappointed by the mainstream take of most of the creations. Not here, though, because of a fierce citrus punch I really appreciate.
So, 20 minutes later, it happened. A Silver Scent like aroma made an appearance. And I HATE Bogart’s Silver Scent! I kept sniffing my wrists, hoping my friend and I were wrong, the notes would keep changing, whatever. But unfortunately, to my nose, this SS-like heart with a tiny citric note from the incredible output was strongly there and lasted a long time until it faded and the base notes took place.
I’m sorry. Not for me. Am I the only one who did such a terrible identification?

I’ve never tasted the liquor that gives name to this creation, but it should be on my priorities list from now on. Yuzucello is an astonishing citric perfume with great longevity and good performance that has a lot of pontual, but important, twists.
The first thing that came to my mind when I sprayed it was “oh, I know this one…”. The initial blast reminded me of Unknown Pleasures, Kerosene’s lemon-caramel offering, because of its sweet/sour dynamics. The impression soon receded, though, and Yuzucello took another path, one that I consider much more wearable and comfortable. While Unknown Pleasures is almost sticky and a bit cloying, this little gem shines with a lot of contrasts.
First, the artemisia gives it a bitter edge that reinforces the lemon and evokes the beverage characteristic quite well. Although I’m not familiar with limoncello, I love orange liquor and it’s not complete with a touch of cringe-worth herbal darkness, so I think its cousin must be quite the same. Then the grass makes it more airy and dreamy, somewhat light and fresh. The sandalwood gives the perfect structure here, barely noticeable but, still, quite important to hold it all together. And last, but not least, the tonka bean + musk combo turns the fragrance into a cozy piece of delight.
Despite the dark edges buried deep within its heart (thanks, artemisia and basil!), Yuzucello is still pretty funny, as I think all the Barista Collection is gonna be. The neroli and lily make it cleaner than most gourmand-ish concotions, turning it into a not-that-gulty pleasure that you can experience pretty much whenever and wherever you feel like. Yuzucello, despite its funny and gourmand sides, is not out of place in the office, in a less formal social event or even in a wedding day (if you’re not the groom, of course).
It’s quite long lasting, but not that powerful. It gets noticed a lot, specially the tonka aura with a zesty effect, but within arms length. People don’t seem to go crazy on it, but their reactions make it look like the aroma is inviting enough for an extra second of extended hug.
A LIKE for me, edging the LOVE by a fraction so tiny that I decided to camp it in this field because of the novelties. It’s, in my opinion, superior to Kerosene’s offering and much more wearable in warmer climates.

Yuzucello is a very nice fragrance by Daniel Barros. It is very citrusy, which makes it refreshing, but it is not a common citrus-based fragrance. It has some sweetness in it, something almost sugary, so this scent is not plain as the scents in its category use to be. The sweetness in this scent is kinda powdery, which makes it a very comfortable scent and a bit elegant somehow. It stays close to the skin, but lasts very long (i sprayed it in my arm 8 hours ago and can still smell it). This sweet-powdery aspect sometimes reminds me of Concentreé d’Orange Verte by Hermès, but the citrusy note is different, what makes me like Yuzucello better. Very pleasing and beautiful scent.

like stuff you put into a cake to make it TASTY!
Smells in fact very “tasty” if that’s what you want then awesome, I personally love it but it also reminds me of my mum baking a cake!

A huge thumbs up for what ends up being so much more than a citrus aroma. Yuzucello has exceptional longevity with a gourmand depth no doubt thanks to the tonka and musk. Yuzucello is easy to wear, has no complicated edges, and invites one’s nose back to sniff and re-sniff throughout a wearing. If Fresh’s Lemon Sugar was a like, Yuzucello is sure to be a love.

While I’m sure that no one is a stranger to the drink that influenced this exemplary creation, it’s safe to say that Yuzucello does the drink justice and beyond. Daniel takes the note of Yuzu to provide the composition with an unconventional twist that supplants an all-too-familiar citrus note. Then, the note of sugar amplifies the edible and desirable quality of the fragrance. In my review for Tobacognac, I comment on the transparency of the scent’s note breakdown. I echo my “scentiments” for this creation, too. The gourmand nature of the opening is carried through to the base with the presence of a tonka bean note. Daniel continues to impress his audience with his variety in the catalogue of different offerings. Here is a spring and summer staple with character and dimension! Not to mention that the performance is fantastic! Bravo!

Yuzucello is my favorite fragrance of Barista collection by Daniel Barros.
Its blend of refreshing citrus with grass scent, wrapped in creamy vanilla and sandalwood, gives me an incredible sensation. The musky base makes it even more confortable.
It reminds me the drink limoncello itself, but also something like a lemon meringue. Yummy!

Although not being new theme in perfumery creating perfumes inspired by famous drinks never had its full potential properly used within a collection. Ego In Vitro Fragrance Coach and Indie Perfumer Daniel Barros decided to go beyond the use of drinks as notes inside a composition or literal interpretations and do something creative and complex in its Barista collection, which explore different olfactory families over 12 creations centered each on a famous drink. And of all the compositions, for me Yuzucello works as a kind of introduction to the set.
We are facing a perfume that is a hybrid between a citrus and gourmand, something that fits perfectly into the drink Yuzucello is inspired. Limoncello is an Italian liqueur made with Femminello Santa Teresa lemon zests that are dipped in rectified alcohol to extract its oil, with the end result being mixed with sugar syrup. The contrast between the sweet and syrup gustative texture and the astringent citrus alcoholic part is what makes this drink so delicious and is represented with care in Yuzucello.
I see three main facets that shape Yuzucello flavor from start to finish on the skin. The first aspect is related to the citrus facet in the composition, which brings the lemon acid part, the freshening impression a floral citrus nuance that embodies the composition and supports the lemon idea on skin. This is shown in a more complex and rich interpretation by the use of yuzu, one of the rarest citrus unexplored in perfumery. The second principal facet is related to a gourmand aroma mainly built around a vanilla and sugar. They create a licquer like and sugary drink impression, soften the rougher edges of Yuzu and add an aspect little explored in predominantly citrus creations. Finally, we have in the basenotes a more woodsy and rough side, comprising a mixture of wood chips, amber and tobacco tones. This aspect contributes to Yuzucello not become too sweet, helps to fix the composition and reinforces subtly the more acidic lemon side aspect of the drink.
Yuzucello like any good citrus has an explosion of aromas in the first minutes on the skin, but retain well this sweet freshness in the next few hours. Its aroma ends up turning into a balanced gourmand of woody nuances that is not too cloying and it’s quite nice to be felt on the skin. A beautiful scent.

Cítrico moderno, com apelo baladeiro. Abre com Limão afiado e yuzu no suporte. Um arzinho de nota verde, talvez grama. Posteriormente, no corpo,o apelo cítrico continua com a neroli, mas nada que tome as rédeas da estrela da frangrância, o limao. Posteriormente, o ar licoroso toma conta de vez com a entrada de um tom açucarado e a tonka. Projeção média alta e boa fixação. 8,5/9,0
