Kabukicho
Whisky and sparkling drink notes meet woods and a trace of smoke, linking Kunisada's Naito Shinjuku with modern Kabukicho after dark.
Perfumer: Atsushi Shimizu
Bubbles in a glass cross the trail of tobacco smoke in Kabukicho after dark. Utagawa Kunisada's print of Naito Shinjuku, from Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji in the Eastern Capital, provides the starting point. The movement of people in that older scene meets the present-day district, with whisky and woods giving its lively evening a calmer depth.
Bergamot, lime and black pepper make a bright, crisp opening. Whisky and the sparkling-drink impression of squash meet gardenia and birch in the heart. Patchouli, vetiver, amber and musk follow, placing a lighter, effervescent character beside the more settled mood of the night.
Introduced as a limited Eau de Parfum in 2025, the composition also incorporates a kyara impression and Kashimo hinoki leaf essential oil. Japanese woods link the modern entertainment district with the print's earlier post town. The fragrance follows the air of those two evenings through scent and image.
