Xerjoff La Capitale Parfum opens on strawberry dipped in warm caramel, which sounds like a dessert and would be, except that Chris Maurice runs Florentine leather straight through the heart of it. That leather is what makes the whole thing adult: it darkens the fruit, adds a slightly rebellious edge, and stops the sweetness landing anywhere near sickly. Underneath sits a moody base of oud and smoke. It was made for the opening of the Moscow boutique and carries the glamour to match, filling a room and holding ten to twelve hours. Unisex, and best worn somewhere you actively want to be noticed.
Product Features:
- Strawberry and warm caramel open rich without ever tipping into sickly sweet.
- Florentine leather runs through the heart, darkening the fruit into something adult.
- Oud and smoke ground the base, giving the dessert notes a moody counterweight.
- Fills a room and holds ten to twelve hours, with diffusive, attention-getting sillage.
How to Use:
Two sprays is plenty given the projection. Apply to the neck and wrists and let it dry naturally. It works best in the evening and in cool weather, when the leather and the oud come forward.
