Another Chris Maurice indulgence. This one is discontinued; it launched under Sospiro, Xerjoff’s budget line back then. Times have changed: the owners, formulas, and philosophy are completely different now. In fact, several Sospiro gems were later moved to Xerjoff’s V collection, like Laylati or Wardasina. Capriccio couldn’t be revived and faded into obscurity. The house used to have nuclear projection, so you have to use it sparingly. Capriccio follows the perfumer’s classic recipe: an amber-musk base where powdery white flowers take the lead, supported by an earthy patchouli. I attribute that powdery texture to the synthetic musk; the cinnamon is there but barely noticeable, just providing support. It’s playful, unisex, and versatile, insisting on its nuclear projection. It’s a well-made perfume, one of the few from that era of Xerjoff worth buying, because most smell very synthetic/chemical. Saying it smells synthetic sounds absurd, since even Sultan Pasha, Roja, and Areej le Doré use synthetics, but I’m referring to a negative synthetic that smells like bathroom cleaner or harsh detergent. Remember René Zayas? The same guy behind the ‘Uncle Momo’ ties who shut down his channel. Well, Capriccio is his favorite from Sospiro, though for me, it doesn’t quite reach that level. I’ll leave that chair to…
