Just-picked leafy greens and herbs piled high, topped with yuzu peel and runny honey. Raw and green, the smell that bursts when a leaf is bruised between the fingers. Tea leaf is the most bitter, holding the balance against grape skin and wild thyme. Neroli adds floral brightness, while oakmoss and patchouli root the fragrance. White musk and tonka bean tenderly infuse the composition.

Dirty gold digger is a literal reference to a Victorian character who arrived in Australia for the 1850’s gold rush.

They were working underneath eucalyptus trees and the oils from the leaves would settle on the prospectors. In search for gold, they found eucalyptus.
Dirty Gold Digger, the perfume, gives you that airy elusive and pleasant aroma of the eucalyptus tree as if your right under one. It’s is refreshing and sunny.

Named after the Portuguese city of Faro, where the yuzu in this perfume comes from.
A miraculous aural hologram of a sky-high yuzu meringue pie. Far is a vivid perfume built around yuzu grown in the region surrounding the Portuguese parish Faro do Alentejo. This scrumptious gourmand adds texture to its virtual calories: it’s fluffy, creamy, even crunchy, if you consider the buttery biscuit crust effect at the base.

Macaque Yuzu Edition by Zoologist £200.00
- Key notes:
- hinoki
- incense
- yuzu
- Aromagroups:
- woody
Against the backdrop of a mountainous terrain, two communities share a peaceful coexistence. Yet despite their proximity, the societies are distinctly unique. Macaques cavort among the trees, grasping with delight at nature’s bountiful pleasures. From the quiet solemnity of a nearby temple, their human neighbours regard them, coveting the monkeys’ playful abandon. The macaques are all but oblivious, sparing only the briefest of curious glances at the pensive faces below before surrendering once again to their carefree revels.
Sweet notes of yuzu dance through a pine forest, welcoming you to Zoologist Macaque. Incense adds gravity with aromas of Hinoki woods and myrrh. The delicate balance between heavy and light results in an austere woody scent with mild hints of creamy sandalwood. Macaque is exuberance tempered by calm, sublimity buoyed by joy, a happy harmony of meditative bliss.
This perfume is a new interpretation by perfumer Mackenzie Reilly. The original version, designed by Sarah McCartney, is discontinued and no longer available.

Rude Rose is a green and stubborn rose that highlights the mischievous modernity of this perfumers’ fetish flower. Tart-sweet yuzu joins blackcurrant berries and ginger for instant pop! at the top. But a dirty myrrh soon enters the scene to rough things up.
About The Ghost In The Shell by Etat Libre d'Orange
- What makes The Ghost In The Shell different from similar perfumes with yuzu?
- The Ghost In The Shell uniquely blends yuzu with a creamy milk accord, jasmine, and moss, creating a fresh yet warm, skin-like scent. Many similar perfumes focus more heavily on yuzu combined with other notes like florals or spices but lack the milky and mossy elements that give this fragrance its distinctive softness.
- Can I find a fragrance with the same milky skin accord as The Ghost In The Shell?
- Among the fragrances listed, only The Ghost In The Shell itself prominently features a milky skin accord. Others may share fresh or floral notes but typically do not replicate the creamy, milky texture that defines this scent.
- Are all these perfumes dominated by yuzu?
- Yes, yuzu is a common thread across all listed fragrances, contributing a bright citrus note. However, each fragrance combines yuzu with different supporting notes ranging from floral and herbal to smoky and spicy, resulting in varied scent profiles.
