Best Yuzuyakuza by Spiritica Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

Yuzu, vibrating with the tartness of grapefruit and the sweetness of mandarin, embraces feel-good orange blossom. Nuzzly neroli and musks make wearing this feel like falling in love in an orchard of citrus trees.

Many ancient cultures revered rubies, believing these sacred stones to be immortal emblems of love, vitality and the unyielding pulse of life itself. Ruby opens with a burst of red berries, pineapple, and juicy, juicy cherries. Much like cherry blossoms, cherries conjure the delicate and fleeting nature of life, a reminder of moments to be savoured. The heart notes swirl with whipped cream and brown sugar, before settling into a rich fusion of musk, amber and benzoin.

The tart sweetness of bergamot and yuzu is the pale moon rising over a landscape of aromatic lavender and silky sandalwood. The sharpness of cedarwood begins to subtly assert itself, underscored by a violet echo of orris, inviting you into a realm of serene oblivion.

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.

Campus is the 'bon vivant' moment in Molinard's historical collection, first created in 2004 it sparks adventurous pineapple and calms into luxurious tones of Provençal Lavender. It conjures an air of freedom and elegance. Beautiful geranium and woody notes from amber and sandalwood makes Campus nothing short of charm in perfume form.

Pluie de Soleil is a sunny fruity floral. Lemon and bergamot give Pluie de Soleil a fresh opening followed by delicate hints of freesia, white peach and strawberry.

The central fruity floral facet rests on a base of sandalwood, cashmeran and vanilla. With its title translating as 'It’s raining Sun’ Pluie de Soleil is a joyful, vivacious fragrance evocative of a Mediterranean summer.

Fruit punch with emphasis on the PUNCH. Scratchy-sweet pineapple joins forces with crisp green apple and rich mango for a tropical explosion. Before the dust settles, soft almond and coconut infuse the floral and woody haze.

A refreshing yuzu, green violet leaves and dry vetiver cologne. 003 is an easy-wearing interpretation of 19th century barber/pharmacist tonic infusions for gentlemen and ladies. Appealing in its deep shady coolness. 

Perfumer for 003: Natalie Kobus.

The dream of a luxury summer resort, where the sky is pink and the guests are from outer space. Languages from Earth and beyond blend in an excited babble as waitstaff weave through the cabanas with tropical cocktails and yuzu sorbet. You hold a piece of strange alien fruit up to the blue sun, and suddenly the planet is awash in neon yellow.

Fizzy grape vape sparks of amber lasers and violet orbs, plumes of jasmine, twirling petals of ylang-ylang, yuzu cake on the dance floor, all the shining colours spinning from a gigantic mirror ball in the sky.
