Fifty Four

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.

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.

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.

Dark cherry liqueur over creamy vanilla woods, with a smoky, boozy edge. Rouge Smoking Extrait by BDK Parfums is a darker, richer and intensely sensual interpretation of the iconic Rouge Smoking, created by perfumers Amélie Bourgeois and Margaux Le Paih Guérin.

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

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

The Story
