La Capitale

About Xerjoff La Capitale

La Capitale is a luxury Xerjoff perfume in every sense. It’s Xerjoff’s olfactory tribute to Moscow — a city of fascinating contrasts celebrated by great Russian poets such as Ivan Bunin and Alexander Pushkin. Perfumer Christian Carbonnel created it in 2018 as part of the Spotlight collection (formerly Shooting Stars). As a result, it’s every bit as generous, opulent, and irresistible as the city that inspired it.

Xerjoff La Capitale Fragrance Notes

The opening is a burst of pure indulgence. Juicy, ripe strawberry, sweet peach, and rich, creamy caramel unfold on skin with absolute generosity. Together, they grab attention instantly. However, the heart takes the composition to another level. Iranian saffron brings extraordinary spiced, exotic warmth. As a result, rose, ginger, and leather add surprising, sophisticated depth. The base carries Xerjoff’s unmistakable signature. Creamy bourbon vanilla, warm benzoin, and amber create a sweet, deeply addictive trail.

Longevity: A Mixed Picture

Reviews of La Capitale’s longevity vary quite a bit. Many wearers report up to 10 hours of enveloping trail, while others describe it as more discreet, settling close to the skin after the first hour. Either way, its intense fruity opening leaves a memorable first impression.

When to Wear La Capitale

La Capitale suits those who aren’t afraid to stand out. In fact, it’s sweet without feeling juvenile, and opulent without going overboard. It’s an oriental gourmand that becomes a genuine signature scent. Additionally, it’s perfect for autumn, winter, and special occasions.
