Safran Secret

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.

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. Powerful elegance with a wild streak, it is refined rather than harsh from the very first spray.

Tony Iommi Deified by Xerjoff is rock legend energy captured in scent. Spiced apple, rich leather, dark oud, velvety rose, warm vanilla, and glowing amber create a fragrance that feels bold, rebellious, and unforgettable. Luxury with dangerous charisma.

What It Smells Like

Tony Iommi Deified opens dark, bold, and immediately electrifying with a powerful blend of saffron, cinnamon, and apple. The first impression feels spicy, juicy, and intense—sweet fruit wrapped in warm exotic spice with instant rockstar energy. It is dramatic from the first spray and impossible to ignore. 

As it develops, the fragrance becomes richer and more decadent. Leather, rose, patchouli, and oud create a smoky sensual heart where darkness meets elegance. The leather is smooth and luxurious, while oud and patchouli add depth and power. This stage feels rebellious, seductive, and highly polished. 

The dry down is warm, addictive, and unforgettable with vanilla, amber, musk, and woods. It settles into a creamy dark base that feels expensive, magnetic, and built for attention. Sweetness remains, but balanced by smoky depth and leather.

The frail glow of the waning moon dwindles until only impenetrable blackness persists across the grasslands. A herd of deer venture tentatively into the expanse. Though their long necks dip to feed, their dainty legs remain tense, poised to flee. Nearby, gleaming gold eyes pierce the gloom, and silky ears stiffen, attuned to the softest tremor. The tiger advances haltingly, intent on its prey, anticipating a moment of vulnerability. In a seamless motion, it leaps and descends upon its victim, its razor-sharp fangs sinking deep into the deer’s throat. As the deer’s life fades, its herd is already gone, evaporating into the night.

Like the thrill inspired by a low, rumbling growl cutting through silence, Zoologist Tiger couples danger with majesty. Vetiver’s earthy body is licked with stripes of kumquat, saffron and jasmine in an elegant pattern. Incense lurks at the edges, shrouded by smoky undertones of papyrus and ebony wood. Tiger arouses intrigue, putting those around you on high alert.

A ritual of smoke, suede and ascent. Ierofante by Parfums Quartana is a spiritual, transformative extrait inspired by the Hierophant, a guide between the physical and the divine. Created by perfumer Luca Maffei, it pairs suede, a gasoline accord and nutmeg with smoky leather, golden amber, cashmeran and vetiver in an aura that feels both powerful and deeply introspective.

The Story

Its name is Italian for Hierophant, the revealer of sacred things. The perfume unfolds like a ritual, capturing the moment of awakening where light meets shadow and something within shifts. Ceremonial, elevated and quietly magnetic, it has been described as an inward journey rather than an escape, an ascent through combustion and revelation toward weightlessness.

How It Smells

Opening
Bright, sharp and combustible, but controlled: suede and a gasoline accord, sparked by nutmeg.

Heart
A warm, smoky heart rises, with styrax pyrogene and smoky leather adding depth and a feeling of calm intensity.

Dry Down
Smooth woods, golden amber, cashmeran and vetiver settle into a soft, skin-like warmth, a trail that feels intimate, spiritual and refined.
