La Capitale from Xerjoff, composed by Chris Maurice in 2018, is a gourmand fragrance worn by anyone. Half of wearers also call it spicy and resinous; floral, amber and leather sides are noticed by a quarter.

The opening is unusually rich for a first impression: caramel, peach and strawberry give a jammy, sugary fruitiness, while labdanum adds a dark, resinous warmth from the start. The heart puts rose at the centre with saffron and ginger for a warm, slightly medicinal spice, leather for depth, and amber for glow. The base of bourbon vanilla and benzoin is sweet and balsamic, a soft, long-lasting cushion under the fruit and spice.

More than half of wearers find it long lasting, and sillage splits between strong and moderate. It is voted for winter and autumn and more for night than day, which suits a dense, sweet scent for cold evenings rather than everyday daytime wear.

La Capitale — unisex fragrance by Xerjoff (released 2018). Top notes: Strawberry, Caramel, Peach, Labdanum. Heart notes: Leather, Amber, Saffron, Rose, Ginger. Base notes: Bourbon Vanilla, Benzoin. — Parfica open fragrance database
