Rouge Smoking Extract

Caramel-dipped strawberry over leather and saffron, a Moscow love letter. La Capitale by Xerjoff is a refined perfume dedicated to Moscow and to Russia, a boundless country rich in art, history and culture. It opens in a rich, playful burst of strawberry, caramel, peach and labdanum, deepens into leather, saffron and rose, and settles into Bourbon vanilla and benzoin.

The Story

La Capitale celebrates the modernity and romanticism of Moscow, a metropolis of thousands of different districts that together form a rich and fascinating city, a place of contradictions that runs from grandeur and grime to history and hipness. Xerjoff is an Italian house, founded by Sergio Momo in 2003.

How It Smells

Opening
Rich, playful and immediately addictive, with strawberry, caramel, peach and labdanum. The first impression is like luxurious strawberry jam drizzled over warm caramelized fruit: sweet, juicy and glamorous rather than childish.

Heart
The fragrance becomes darker and more seductive as leather, Iranian saffron, rose, amber and ginger rise through the sweetness, a sensual contrast between fruity gourmand notes and warm, luxurious depth.

Dry Down
Smooth and creamy, with Bourbon vanilla and benzoin adding warmth, softness and a resinous sweetness. It smells expensive and magnetic, wearable by anyone drawn to its character.

Tropical intensity wrapped in luxury. Oud Maracujá by Maison Crivelli is a bold, seductive Extrait de Parfum where vibrant passionfruit, luminous Turkish rose and saffron meet precious oud, rich leather, glowing amber and creamy vanilla. Exotic sophistication with irresistible presence, composed by perfumer Jordi Fernandez.

The Story

The house frames Oud Maracujá as a passion fruit tasting in remote oud wood forests: the richness of oud set against bright, exotic fruit, in a thirst-quenching fruity oud that is unisex and contemporary in design. Vibrant passionfruit wrapped around refined oud, rather than buried by it, makes it one of the most unusual openings in modern perfumery.

How It Smells

Opening
Bold and exotic: a radiant burst of passionfruit and saffron over Turkish rose, juicy, tart and sparkling, like fresh tropical fruit meeting warm spice and velvet petals.

Heart
Darker and richer as oud, benzoin and Indonesian patchouli leaf rise through the fruity brightness, a luxurious contrast between tropical sweetness and smoky woody depth.

Dry Down
Warm and sensual, a creamy resinous base of leather, akigalawood, amber vanilla and labdanum with a glowing sweetness.

About the perfumer – Quentin Bisch →

Guidance turned into pure luxury armor. Guidance 46 by Amouage is the intensified Exceptional Extrait of the iconic Guidance, created by Quentin Bisch and launched in 2024. Pear, rose water, hazelnut and bitter almond open into rose, osmanthus, saffron and sambac jasmine, resting on a creamy, woody base of sandalwood, vanilla and ambergris.

The Story

Guidance 46 takes its name from its 46% perfume oil concentration, making it richer, smoother and more powerful than the original. Amouage presents it as a study in light and shade, fragility and strength, subtlety and ostentatiousness, and ages it for four weeks (two of maceration, two of maturation).

How It Smells

Opening
An intense blend of pear, rose water, hazelnut, bitter almond and frankincense: fruity, creamy and nutty, immediately addictive.

Heart
Lush rose, osmanthus, saffron and jasmine sambac bloom into a radiant floral richness.

Dry Down
Sandalwood, vanilla, ambergris, labdanum, Akigalawood, Georgywood and cypriol build a creamy woody base with great depth, richer, smoother, creamier and more regal than the original Guidance.

The Story

Imperium by Electimuss London is the scent of modern success. Sparkling citrus, elegant florals, creamy vanilla, and rich woods come together in a fragrance that feels powerful yet refined. Versatile, magnetic, and unmistakably luxurious, Imperium commands attention with quiet confidence.

What It Smells Like

Imperium opens bright, sparkling, and instantly luxurious with a burst of bergamot sharpened by aromatic coriander. The first impression is clean, uplifting, and energetic—fresh citrus with a refined spicy edge rather than a simple fruity freshness. Brand materials describe it as an aromatic woody citrus fragrance.

As it develops, elegant white florals begin to appear, giving the fragrance a creamy sophistication. Notes commonly listed include jasmine, lily, saffron, tuberose, neroli, and rose, which create a smooth floral heart without making it overly sweet or feminine. It feels polished, modern, and highly wearable.

The dry down is where Imperium becomes addictive—vanilla, musk, amber, guaiac wood, patchouli, and oud create a rich yet clean finish. The vanilla is creamy and sensual, while woods keep it masculine and confident. It smells expensive, versatile, and effortlessly attractive.

Fragrance Notes: 

Bergamot, coriander, Rose, lily, saffron, jasmine, neroli, tuberose, Amber, musk, Madagascan vanilla, Guaiac wood, oud, patchouli

Warm almond milk, saffron and Italian dessert in a velvet glass. Xerjoff Casamorati Italica is one of the most indulgent gourmands in niche perfumery, rich, creamy and irresistibly luxurious. Almond, silky milk and a touch of saffron give way to toffee and bourbon vanilla, settling on sandalwood and white musk.

The Story

Italica is inspired by the warmth of Italian desserts and belongs to Casamorati, the Xerjoff line that honours the historic C. Casamorati perfume factory of Bologna, founded in 1888 and known for its perfumes and bath soaps. It is conceived for those who appreciate rich, dessert-like fragrances elevated to a high-end level.

Read the full story of Casamorati 1888: from a Bologna perfume factory loved by Queen Margherita of Savoy to Xerjoff's 2009 revival.

How It Smells

Opening
Creamy, nutty and slightly spiced, like warm almond milk with a hint of saffron.

Heart
It quickly becomes a rich, dessert-like accord of buttery toffee and smooth bourbon vanilla: thick, cosy and addictive without being overly sugary.

Dry Down
Soft, creamy and slightly woody, as sandalwood and white musk lend a polished, luxurious finish. The whole impression is of a freshly baked almond dessert of warm milk, vanilla and caramelised sugar.

The fragrance unfolds around the milky, textured richness of a creamy, precious sandalwood. At the top, a spicy spark of ginger and cinnamon bark is delicately dusted with saffron. Then, the floral heart of iris unfolds, echoing the intimate caress of fabric against the skin, enveloped in vanilla, tonka bean, and the profound warmth of benzoin tears. In the base, sandalwood and musks carry and extend the trail with gentle intensity. Like a precious thread of silk, Stellar Silk lays a veil of sensuality across the skin. A fragrance of passion, it radiates as a luminous halo, balancing depth and lightness to create an enduring, timeless elegance.
Around the silk, a universe of luxury emerges, defined by a noble material exploring with subtlety the porous boundaries between masculine and feminine wardrobes. The softness and delicacy of the fabric flirt with the sensuality of evening gowns, evoking Haute Couture silhouettes where creative freedom blurs boundaries, reminiscent of designs by Yves Saint Laurent or Valentino Garavani. In the airy, whispering rustle of muslin, an ode rises to the preciousness of a millennia-old material, noble and treasured.

Golden vanilla after midnight. Vanilla Haze Extrait by Fugazzi is a darker, richer and more seductive reading of the cult-favourite original. Lemon sparks over toasted hazelnut and coconut milk, then bourbon vanilla, tonka bean, clove and cashmeran build a warm, spiced, dessert-like heart. Created by Bram Niessink, the Dutch house's founder-perfumer.

The Story

Bright lemon gives a sharper, more luminous start than the original, then melts quickly into toasted hazelnut and creamy coconut milk.

Heart
Bourbon vanilla and tonka bean bring a smooth, rich warmth, while clove and cashmeran add spice and a soft, woody-musky depth.

Dry Down
Saffron, caramel and musk settle beneath more bourbon vanilla, leaving a golden gourmand trail that lingers like warm skin.

Unbridled luxury, saddled with smoke and spice. Oud Stallion by Maison Crivelli is a bold, sensual extrait in which fiery saffron, warm cardamom and velvety Turkish rose meet smoky leather, precious oud and creamy roasted tonka.
