Yuzuyakuza

Tokyo after midnight: neon lights break on wet asphalt, and the air is cut by citrus and the smell of gunpowder. SPIRITICA Yuzuyakuza is an extrait that translates the honor, danger, and luxury of Kabukicho into a very precise clash of rain, ink, and money.

Yuzu and sudachi open sharply, sour and almost metallic, with grapefruit and a little pineapple. Yuzu, sudachi, and gunpowder make the first cut: it's bright, but never carelessly summery. Gunpowder leaves a dry, dark tension behind the citrus.

Luca Maffei and Lorenzo Berti, Lorenzo Bert and Daniele Muratori Caputo build a city after the rain in the center. Sakura softens the accord of ink, petrichor, and sun-warmed asphalt. The inspiration from the irezumi ritual is felt here as a contrast between delicate petals and ink that goes under the skin.

Later, the smell of banknotes, incense, and suede appears. Mahogany and cedar provide a solid woody background, and suede brings all the urban coolness closer to the body. A blend of dry smoke, paper, and smooth warmth remains on the skin.

High concentration doesn't just mean loudness; Yuzuyakuza changes the ratio of citrus, wet asphalt, and leather over a long period. If you want a natural, serene yuzu or a delicate cherry blossom, here, gunpowder, ink, and money will deliberately throw you off balance.

There are three different caps inspired by Japanese tattoos, and a randomly selected design comes with each purchase; the fragrance in the bottle is always the same. Like the syllables of the worst score in the Oicho-Kabu game — ya-ku-za — three images lead to one dangerous outcome.
