Xerjoff La Capitale is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Chris Maurice. La Capitale opens with Labdanum, Peach, Strawberry, and Caramel, settles into a heart of Leather, Amber, Rose, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Vanilla and Benzoin. Xerjoff's La Capitale carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

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.

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.

About

La Capitale crashes in with an initial hit of juicy, syrupy strawberry and peach, sweetened by a rich caramel. This playful opening quickly deepens, revealing a smooth, almost boozy leather heart entwined with a warm amber and a hint of spicy saffron and ginger. The dry-down settles into a creamy, balsamic embrace of vanilla and benzoin, maintaining that signature leathery fruit through to the end.
