Spiritica at the Süskind
Welcoming a new brand at the Süskind store:
We are excited to announce that we have introduced Italian fragrance brand SPIRITICA to our store in Zurich. The brand was founded in 2024 by Daniele Muratori Caputo, a.k.a. Nasodani: “Lyrical baritone, product designer, olfactory spreader fragrance trendsetter”. Spiritica comprises four collections, each with a theme of its own: Illuminata Collection, Oscurata Collection, Golden Collection and Crime Collection.
The fragrances feature a wide range of notes, including Pisco Sour, cherry cake, lithium, ink, melted plastic, vanilla ice cream, blood, or sun-soaked asphalt.
Discover the fragrances in our store in Zurich, or order the discovery set with 7 samples directly to your home to test the fragrances on the go.
Interview with founder and creative director of Spiritica, Daniele Muratori Caputo:
1) With such a diverse career background including baritone and product designer – what led you to create your own fragrance brand?
I created Nasodani in 2021, which became the first YouTube channel in Italy entirely dedicated to artistic and niche perfumery. During those years, I experienced almost everything the market had to offer.
Today my personal collection counts around 3,000 fragrances, which has given me a very deep and broad understanding of the industry.
At a certain point, I clearly felt that there was a gap — something missing. I wanted to create what I personally felt was absent.
Spiritica was born from the desire to create something new and beautiful by uniting my interest for product design, esotericism, and artistic perfumery into one coherent vision.
2) How do you approach the creation of your collections?
I approach creation in a completely open way, without limits. Creative freedom is the most
important value for me. As shown in collections like Crime Collection, I’m not afraid to explore complex and sometimes uncomfortable themes, such as true crime. This may resonate with some people and less with others — and that is perfectly fine.
From a technical perspective, my perfumes are developed together with other professional
perfumers working with Italian fragrance houses. I particularly want to mention Leonardo Opali, an artisanal perfumer who focuses almost exclusively on handcrafted perfumery rather than commercial formulas. Collaborating with him was especially meaningful for me.
3) You use notes referred to as “metallic” and “blood” — how do you create those accords?
These are olfactory accords recreated in the laboratory, using artificial and constructed materials.
Each fragrance house has its own proprietary techniques to achieve metallic or blood-like aromas, and for obvious reasons these processes remain confidential.
What I can say is that these accords create curiosity and visceral reactions. Each creator has their own way of building them, and those “secrets” are part of the magic of perfumery.
4) LYNCH aka Smoked Styrax is one of your best-sellers — can you tell us more about the concept behind it?
LYNCH, also known as Smoked Styrax, has become one of our global best-sellers — even beyond my expectations.
It is a fragrance with very high production costs and a premium positioning on the market (around 300€ for 50 ml), yet every time a new batch is released, it sells out completely within just a few days.
The concept is not easy to summarize, as the story behind it is long and layered. At its core, the fragrance was born from my deep admiration for David Lynch and his artistic universe.
I wanted to create something truly meaningful to honor his work — not a literal reference, but an emotional and atmospheric tribute. LYNCH is about ambiguity, smoke, tension, and silence. It is meant to be experienced rather than explained, much like Lynch’s cinema itself.
Rose at Suskind describes LYNCH aka Smoked Styrax as follows:
Lynch is a true 80s bombshell - the 80s in full swing, the very essence of the 80s — in the best possible way. One could say: 80s swagger.
It opens with the fresh, crisp aroma of unsmoked tobacco — like a cigarette not yet lit. The
fragrance then deepens into a warm cocoon of rum and dark chocolate, blended with resins and styrax. Oud then unfolds swiftly, joined by cherry, saffron, and a little veil of powder.
This facet of the fragrance evokes a scene in a bar: someone enters, and the entire room turns in unison, each person wondering, “who is that”?
The fragrance then carries us into the landscape of a night drive with a super cool soundtrack on a tree-lined route, where the scents of night air, greenery and woods emerge — accompanied by something crackling — the beginning of the night, still open, coming from nowhere and heading to nowhere.
The scent, in its completeness, is incredibly beautiful, round and harmonious, right from the start.
