Xerjoff La Capitale opens with a sugary punch of ripe strawberry, peach nectar, and warm caramel. Labdanum sits beneath the fruit, cutting the initial sweetness with a resinous, ambered warmth.

The base relies on bourbon vanilla and benzoin to anchor the decay of the fruit notes. It stays thick on skin for hours, projecting a sweet, spicy aura that works best in crisp late-autumn air or sub-zero winter evenings. Show less
