Xerjoff | La Capitale | Eau de Parfum
La Capitale is a brilliantly opulent, boundary-pushing fragrance from the luxury Italian house Xerjoff. Conceived as an olfactory celebration of energy, high culture, and cosmopolitan grandeur, the fragrance stands as one of the most glamorous and complex offerings in the luxury gourmand-leather genre. It opens with a mouthwatering, velvety canopy of sweet strawberries and rich plum, spiked with the dark warmth of precious saffron. It tells a story of richness, shifting smoothly into a heart of dense caramel and soft florals before anchoring itself on a deeply sophisticated base of smooth leather and rich bourbon vanilla.
