  I absolutely loved La Capitale. It’s an incredibly refined gourmand, caramelized, slightly fruity and acidic, with a soft oriental base of leather where, luckily, I barely notice the saffron. As a good Xerjoff, it has an oily unctuousness; though it’s not a beast like others from the house, it has decent longevity. If you’re a fan of caramel and gourmands, you have to try it. A heads-up: if you have Bonbon by Victor and Rolf in the Couture version, make a direct comparison. It’s super similar, I don’t know why, but it’s suuuuper alike. It doesn’t make sense to buy La Capitale if you already have one worth about seven times less, believe me. The Only One by D&G also goes down that path, but it’s further away and more syrupy. In short, it’s a beautiful, fine, coquettish, and wearable perfume, nothing annoying, but the price seems disproportionate to what it offers. Watch out; I defend niche prices, but with Xerjoff, it happens often. I stick with Bonbon Couture by Rolf, since besides its price (you can find it great online in Spain), it resembles mine quite a bit, and I don’t distinguish many nuances in the dry down except for that barely marked leather note. I’d lie if I said I didn’t enjoy getting to know it.

  A glorious and very noticeable perfume. It’s fruity, caramelized sweet, and its woody accords (oud) add elegance. The leather is superfluous but adds weight and sobriety, preventing it from being simple or childish. Unisex, for day or night in autumn or winter, preferably in my case. The quality exceeded my expectations.

  It’s rich, but on my skin, it smells like I applied Poett Environmental Deodorant in strawberry. The scent is very pleasant, but that’s exactly how it smells on my skin, not like an expensive perfume.

  I absolutely loved this decant. I was worried about the oud and leather, but they’re beautifully balanced. It leaves a long trail and has great longevity. Hoping it runs out soon so I can buy the full bottle.

  I have a decant and I loved it. I was afraid of the oud (I don’t like it) and the leather, but it’s very well crafted. It leaves a long trail and has good longevity. I’m waiting for the decant to run out to buy the full bottle.

  High-quality fragrance. On my skin, strawberry and caramel dominate; as it dries down, you get a hint of ginger spice with a soft, delicate rose and leather. Good longevity and sillage. It’s sweet, yes, but not cloying or annoying. I’d say it leans more feminine than unisex.

  Without a doubt, for me, an exquisite fragrance, like something edible; I couldn’t tell the notes apart. It says unisex, but in my case, it’s too sweet and cloying to be so; it’s more feminine than masculine. You can detect the peach and slightly the strawberry, but both are overshadowed by the caramel. It’s good, but before buying, check how it performs on your skin; it doesn’t suit everyone. In my case, quite feminine and more for night.

  To me, this is an exquisite, almost edible scent. I can’t even distinguish the individual notes. It’s labeled unisex, but on my skin it’s too sweet and cloying for that; it feels more feminine than masculine. You can detect peach and a touch of strawberry, but the caramel overpowers them. It’s good, but test before buying—it doesn’t suit everyone. In my case, it’s quite feminine and perfect for night.

  High-quality perfume. On my skin, strawberry and caramel dominate; in the dry down, you notice the ginger’s spice along with a subtle rose, soft delicate leather. Good fixative and sillage. Sweet… yes, but not cloying or annoying. I think it’s much more feminine than unisex.

  La Capitale has its own identity; it’s intense and luxurious. The fruity opening with strawberry, peach, and caramel is bold, almost hypnotic, but it doesn’t stay gourmand; over time, the leather, saffron, and ginger add character and elegance, avoiding anything simple or juvenile. In the dry down, the benzoin and bourbon vanilla are creamy, balsamic, and enveloping, leaving a sensual trail. It’s not super versatile, but a special piece. Excellent performance with great longevity and projection. I totally recommend it.

  A gem in my collection. All the notes combined seem crazy, yet each is in the perfect dose for an extraordinary result. I struggle to describe it because it smells like ‘La Capitale’ is a whole; breaking it down is hard. If I get specific, I sense everything it claims except the rose: the strawberry isn’t childish, the saffron and leather don’t overpower, the caramel isn’t cloying, and the ginger adds a spicy freshness. I could keep listing components, but it’s enough. Try it if you can—it’s not a blind buy you should take lightly, but it’s not a safe bet either.

  Suede, peach, and strawberry with caramel syrup. Ideal for spring and autumn, from semiformal to formal. Another gem from Xerjoff.

  Velvet, peach, and strawberry bathed in caramel syrup. Perfect for spring and autumn, from semi-formal to formal. Another gem from Xerjoff.

  I was expecting a bombshell but found something overblown. If you know Amouage Overture Woman, you’re on the same path: resinous scents, like half-alcoholic maple syrup, where notes blend well but don’t stand out. It doesn’t have much sillage, and I think the hype is just because it’s Xerjoff’s most feminine offering. Nothing extraordinary.
