Semi-tart and interesting citrus-led blend, apt for summer
This morning is my final sampling of the first collection of seven from Galleria Parfums, curated by Ashton of Gents Scents, and certainly the most apt for warm weather, By the Yuzu Grove, a fittingly citrus-focused creation that’s fresh, yet dry and tart, containing the eponymous yuzu (a citrus of eastern Asian origin, albeit cultivated elsewhere), mixed with ginger, pepper, resins, spices, vetiver, and woods.
It’s well-blended in that the citrus opening, while intense and tart, does gradually give way to a more varied mix has spicy, herbal, and woody touches. Overall, it’s very agreeable and easy to wear, predictably not as strong a performer as the other six entries that are more year-round or cold-weather-friendly, so it’s a little bit more difficult of a sell at the full retail pricing of $205 for 100ml, but this is still reasonable enough overall.
