![]() I’m not sure whether they are different from Antica Farmacista’s Room Sprays. These appear for a short period and then disappear, never to be seen again. So, I went just by the note in my database and selected a bunch of perfumes that I either remembered had that note as a prominent one or I thought they might.įrom time to time, Antica Farmacista decides to step up from their usual ambiance scents ampluá and produce “Fragrance for Home & Body” or even “Le Parfum” version of their scents. Of course, when the perfume pyramid mentions “mandarin,” it doesn’t usually clarify its variety or origin. And my quest for the perfect mandarin perfume is based on it since I know it the best. What makes me even more fond of Sumo mandarin is that this hybrid is a “grand-child” of my most favorite mandarin – Satsuma. I like Sumo Citruses, but since they are two-three times more expensive than regular mandarins, I won’t eat them casually but will be buying them several times during the season (January – April). So, now these are legally produced locally Dekopon fruit given in the US name Sumo (I really hope Japanese are secure enough not to claim “cultural appropriation”). It took a private grower many years to get trees grafted with legally imported branches cleaned off diseases, in quarantine, before those could be planted, legally but in secrecy, on 430 acres in California. ![]() Due to the high susceptibility to “exotic pests and diseases,” this fruit is prohibited from being imported into the US. ![]() But in short: it’s a Japanese hybrid citrus fruit known as Dekopon. If you’re up to reading, here’s an article in the Los Angeles Times from a decade ago that gives a lot of details. I’ve been seeing so-called Sumo Citruses/Mandarins for at least a couple of years, but it wasn’t until my vSO told me its story that I decided to try it (before seeing that ad). So, when I saw the ad in The New Yorker magazine, I registered it as something unusual. How often do you see print ads for a fruit? I’m talking not about store fliers, delivery service leaflets or motivational magazine collages about healthy eating, but actual ads that promote fruits.
