La Capitale

La Capitale, a Sweet Leather Gourmand

Xerjoff La Capitale is a sweet leather gourmand. Our version keeps that feel, opening with strawberry, caramel, and peach before a leather, saffron, and rose heart settles over vanilla and benzoin.

The Story Behind the Scent

Xerjoff built La Capitale as a bold, sweet scent, all juicy fruit and caramel over supple leather and warm vanilla. The idea was a rich, decadent luxury.

That sweet richness is its appeal. The strawberry and caramel keep it juicy, the leather and saffron add a warm, spicy heart, and the vanilla and benzoin give it a smooth, gourmand base. Our interpretation follows that same decadent path.
