Blue Heart

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.

The Story

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. Juicy cherry, red mandarin and almond open the scent, a creamy milk accord and balsamic resins form the heart, and saffron, oud wood, black vanilla, rum and patchouli leave a glamorous, addictive trail.

The Story

The fragrance is inspired by the electric energy of Paris' Pigalle district, where art and nightlife meet. This extrait concentration reimagines the signature cherry, amber and tonka accord of the original with greater depth and seduction, deeper, bolder and much more powerful than the original.

How It Smells

Opening
Juicy and vibrant from the cherry and red mandarin, softened by almond sweetness, with a bright lift of pink pepper, bergamot and elemi.

Heart
Warmer and more seductive: milk accord, tonka bean and Peru balsam, with labdanum adding balsamic richness.

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.

The Story

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

Fugazzi is a niche house from the Netherlands, founded by Bram Niessink in 2018 and built on a playful, rebellious take on individuality. This extrait is the deeper, more mysterious counterpart to the original Vanilla Haze: less airy, more sensual, and made for the evening.

How It Smells

Opening
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.

Crystal Saffron is a luminous and magnetic fragrance where precious Greek saffron meets airy musk, glowing ambroxan, and sacred incense. Sharp yet sensual, clean yet deeply seductive, this modern composition transforms saffron into something radiant and effortlessly chic. Bold, sophisticated, and unforgettable, Crystal Saffron is niche luxury with unmistakable presence.

How It Smells

It opens with a striking burst of saffron—warm, slightly leathery, metallic, and golden, but polished rather than dense. Habanolide musk adds a clean, skin-like brightness that gives the fragrance its “crystal” transparency. In the drydown, ambroxan creates an addictive amber glow while Somalian incense adds subtle smoky depth. The overall effect is bright, modern, spicy, musky, and powerfully elegant.

Heart
Maple syrup, saffron and rose oil make a warm, textured heart where sweetness meets spice; saffron and rose keep it sophisticated rather than sugary.

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.

Saffron reimagined through modern luxury. Safran Secret by Maison Crivelli surrounds radiant spices and glowing saffron with airy, almost metallic nuances and warm blonde woods. Refined, mysterious and unforgettable, it is quiet power with magnetic sophistication.

The Story

Maison Crivelli's brief comes from a mysterious encounter Thibaud Crivelli had with a saffron field shrouded in very thick fog: bright, comforting saffron set against opaque, highly diffusive woods, for a deep, sensual and enigmatic scent.

How It Smells

Opening
Warm, luminous and immediately captivating, a rich wave of spices and saffron. It feels golden, smooth and slightly mysterious, like expensive saffron threads warming in cool air: elegant rather than loud, refined rather than sweet.

Heart
More modern and intriguing. The saffron takes on a slightly metallic, airy, almost mineral character while warm woods rise underneath, a contrast between radiant spice and sleek woods that reads as futuristic luxury. Many wearers compare the mood to polished skin, pressed fabric or a clean high-end boutique.

Dry Down
Smooth, woody and long-lasting, with blonde woods creating a soft but diffusive trail: sensual, clean and expensive-smelling, minimalist luxury with real presence.
