About This Perfume
La Capitale by Xerjoff is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women and men. La Capitale was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Chris Maurice. Top notes are Strawberry, Caramel, Peach and Labdanum; middle notes are Leather, Amber, Saffron, Rose and Ginger; base notes are Bourbon Vanilla and Benzoin. The sweet and powdery temptation of La Capitale Xerjoff is hard to resist. Opening with fresh strawberry, peach and caramel, this oriental aromatic scent is a sensual journey through warming ingredients. At the heart, Iranian saffron, ginger, rose and amber cast an intoxicating spell whilst a classic base accord of oud and vanilla bourbon serves only to entice further. OLFACTORY NOTES

The verdict
Best for
Xerjoff is an Italian niche perfume house founded in Turin, known for high-concentration extraits and lacquered ceramic bottles that sit in the collectors' tier of the market. The Scendira catalogue lists 212 Xerjoff fragrances, with 118 currently in stock. The house leans gourmand and unisex, with a signature move of pairing lavender or bergamot up top against tobacco, honey, vanilla and oud in the base, Naxos being the most-cited example. Prices in the live selection range from about $76 for smaller formats to $3,451 for the Shooting Stars and Join The Club collectors. If you want Xerjoff at its most talked-about, start with Naxos (honeyed tobacco lavender, 2015), Alexandria II (oud rose lavender, 2018), and Homme Anniversary (creamy lemon leather, 2024).
