Yuzzu is my favorite out of Meshaz’ repertoire!
Mesha Munyan was kind in providing a scent tour at a niche perfume salon in San Francisco. Her brochure for Yuzzu lists the following notes: “decliate and subtle blend of yuzu, white grapefruit, mandarin, juniper berry, pink lavender, sandalwood, and oakmoss.”
While growing up in Kanagawa, there was a custom of floating yuzu peel to scent bathwater. This was done by men and women of all ages, as part of the Japanese culture. Unlike the generic citrus of interchangeable lemon-lime-bergamot, Yuzu has a distinct aroma. Meshaz captured it perfectly in a bottle.
I understand she distills her own lavender to use in perfumery as well. An amazingly talented Scent Artist.

Yes, I agree with Joker. It is a nice, calming scent.
To me it feels like a soft, clean, juicy and happy tangerine-orange-cream.
The first 2 minutes are quite sharp due to the lavender essential oils that Meshaz uses in her fragrances. After the harsh notes have disappeared I am left with a very authentic smelling tangerine. One of those little, juicy, cheerful tangerines that I remember from childhood before seemingly everything, even fruits, got sort of streamlined and standardized by industry.
A blend of different citric notes and the subtle lavender oil render a picture of a very aromatic tangerine with zest and peel, rounded and mellowed in the next few minutes by some sweet “orangey” hues. And then the sandalwood kicks in. It’s the creamy, milky type. Actually the underlying base feels so creamy and mellow soft, I wonder if there isn’t some cuddly musk in the scent.
Anyway, for the next 4-5 hours I am wearing this soft, balsamic, creamy, woody orange-tangerine scent that’s just lovely. Makes me smile and creates a nice, soft, happy mood.
The fragrance is sweet from beginning to end. It’s not a sugary or sticky sweetness, however, it’s more of a cheerful, fruity, orange-juicy sweetness.
