Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - La Capitale EDP
Divisive yet addictive, La Capitale is a full-throttle fruit-and-leather beast. It's a statement scent; sweet, complex, and absolutely not for everyone, but if it clicks, it's pure magic.
Statement
Our Verdict - Xerjoff La Capitale Oil
La Capitale is a luxurious blend, combining sweet and fruity elements for a modern, confident feel.

La Capitale's strong projection and opulent, sweet-leather profile make it too intense for most office settings, but it's a showstopper for dates and formal events. While some enjoy it casually, its 'luxury in a bottle' feel and beast-mode performance lean it towards more special, cooler weather wear.
