If you love the smell of Japanese restaurants, then you'll be excited to know you can experience the aromas of white rice, seaweed and fish wherever you go. Demeter created a [sushi cologne](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/will-levis-no-8) that seeks to transport a person to a special place or time.

If the [smell of sushi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mochi-milk-eau-de-parfum) brings you back to an amazing dinner with someone special, filled with pleasant memories and emotions, then this spray will help you relive the moment.

**Implications** - The sushi scent smells exactly as one would expect, like [sticky white rice and seaweed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riz-de-mangue) with a hint of ginger. Noticeably missing is the fish smell, as this may push customers away from the idea.
