Electimuss Capua is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Christian Provenzano. Capua opens with Elemi, settles into a heart of Cedar, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Amber, and Vetiver. Electimuss's Capua carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a bold, smoky woody fragrance that splits opinion. You'll either love its intense, almost burnt character, or you'll find it too aggressive and heavy. If you're a fan of Black Afgano-esque scents, this might be your jam - or a slightly smoother alternative.

About

Capua opens with a medicinal, resinous elemi, quickly giving way to a deep, dark cedar. Expect a powerful wave of smouldering woods, primarily vetiver and cashmere wood, that evokes a post-wildfire landscape. A persistent amber lends a dark, slight sweetness, wrapping the intense woody core in a velvety, smoky embrace that lingers for ages.
