Caramel · Labdanum · Peach · Strawberry
Heart Notes
Amber · Ginger · Leather · Rose · Saffron
Base Notes
Benzoin · Vanilla
The top notes arrive as a delicate burst of strawberry and peach, kissed with caramel sweetness and the resinous warmth of labdanum. These opening moments are clean and inviting, drawing you in with their fresh, gourmand character that feels approachable yet sophisticated.
As the fragrance settles, leather and saffron emerge alongside amber and ginger, grounded by a subtle rose heart. The mid-notes reveal layers of complexity—spiced, sensual, and undeniably magnetic. This is where the fragrance's true character unfolds, with each note complementing the others in perfect balance.
The base anchors everything in bourbon vanilla and benzoin, creating an intimate skin-close trail that evolves throughout the day. The sillage remains noticeable yet refined, lasting 6–8 hours with a presence that feels personal rather than projected. Warm conditions bring out its full richness, though it remains beautifully wearable year-round.

The base is warm and creamy—bourbon vanilla and benzoin create an intimate, skin-close finish. It's poised, subtly magnetic, and best in warm conditions.
Is this a Xerjoff La Capitale dupe?
La Capitale shares a similar profile and is built in the same style as Xerjoff's iconic fragrance. It's an inspired-by alternative that captures that same amber-vanilla sophistication and sensual character—not an identical recreation, but a thoughtfully crafted alternative that delivers comparable elegance at accessible pricing.
How long does it last?
La Capitale lasts 6–8 hours with noticeable sillage. It maintains an intimate, skin-close trail throughout the day, meaning it projects close to the body rather than filling a room. Reapplication or layering with our body oil extends longevity and presence.
Is it HumanSafe™ verified?
Yes. La Capitale carries HumanSafe™ certification, confirming it meets rigorous standards for clean ingredients, ethical sourcing, and responsible formulation. It's cruelty-free and designed with both your wellbeing and environmental impact in mind.
What's included in the layering set?
Our duo set pairs the La Capitale EDP spray with our matching body oil, allowing you to build intensity and extend wear time. Apply the body oil first, then spray the fragrance for a richer projection and longer-lasting scent experience.
