Capcom has just announced a new set of perfumes inspired by The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures. Each scent offers a slightly different note depending on the character pictured on the bottle.
For example, series protagonist Ryunosuke Naruhodo will have notes of citrus, gardenia, leather, ylang ylang (a fragrant flowering tree), and cinnamon. Partner Kazuma Asogi will have notes of cassis, lavender, black pepper, and amber, which sounds spicy, but remains to be seen how it’ll smell.
Here’s the full breakdown of scents in each bottle.
- Ryunosuke Naruhodo: Citrus, Gardenia, Leather, Ylang Ylang, Cinnamon
- Kazuma Asogi: Cassis, Lavender, Black Pepper, Amber
- Herlock Sholmes: Spirit, Leafy Green, Floral, Amber
- Barok van Zieks: Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Musk, Vetiver, Leather
Each bottle is sold in pairs, with Ryunosuke and Kazuma coming in one package and Sholmes and Barok van Zieks in the other. Each mini bottle contains 10 ml of perfume while each individual package will cost 4,620 yen (about $33.50 USD). You can order either set from the Capcom store or from partner site Parco.
Parco actually lists the bottle descriptions, which are absolutely sublime. "The faintly fragrant leather creates an intellectual atmosphere, and the passionate ylang-ylang and cinnamon make you feel the passion of ambition," reads one bottle. "It is a scent that makes you feel the enlightenment of Naruhodo Ryunosuke."
Herlock Sholmes, meanwhile, is described as "a free-spirited spirit, it shifts from the top tightened by leafy green to a soft floral scent in the middle. In the fragrance that lifts the heart, Rust also has an amber and glazed expression. It is a scent with a mysterious and multi-layered charm of Sherlock Holmes."
In other Capcom merch news, you can pre-order a £1,200 statue of Lady Dimitrescu, everyone's favorite tall lady vampire from Resident Evil Village. Unfortunately, the statue is only 1/4 scale, so it'll only measure just under two-and-a-half feet tall. Not exactly the intimidating height she's known for, but if you've got the living room space, it could be a fun conversation starter.
