Almond Suede

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 →

A modern fairy tale in a bottle: pear, hazelnut and rose over a creamy, glowing base. Guidance by Amouage, released in 2023 and created by perfumer Quentin Bisch, became an instant sensation for its blend of pear, hazelnut, sambac jasmine, rose, saffron, sandalwood and creamy woods. Bold, emotional and magnetic, it feels luxurious and distinctly feminine.

The Story

Guidance reinterprets Amouage's signature triad of rose, frankincense and ambergris, reading, as the house puts it, like a poem and smelling like an embrace. The delicate strength of femininity is its theme, told in a dreamlike progression from a sweet, nutty opening, through a garden of osmanthus, rose and saffron, to a warm, enveloping base.

How It Smells

Opening
A striking contrast of juicy pear and creamy hazelnut with a veil of frankincense, sweet, smoky and instantly addictive.

Heart
A lush floral heart of rose, sambac jasmine and osmanthus blooms with richness and sensuality, while saffron adds warmth and intrigue.

Dry Down
Sandalwood, ambergris, Akigalawood, vanilla and cistus give smooth, creamy woody depth. The overall effect is creamy, fruity, floral and musky, and highly luxurious.

An olfactory journey into Arabian luxury. Liwa by Widian sets golden saffron, luminous jasmine and bergamot over warm amber wood, then settles into sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver and smoky oud incense. Rich, elegant and deeply captivating, it is boldly refined.

The Story

Liwa is an extrait de parfum from Widian, the Abu Dhabi-based house that builds its perfumes around the oud, amber, incense and rare flowers of the Arabian world. It has a regal Middle Eastern character, but one that is refined and modern rather than overpowering.

How It Smells

Opening
Rich, mysterious and immediately luxurious. Saffron, jasmine, bergamot and artemisia give a spicy-floral radiance, golden saffron meeting smooth jasmine and aromatic herbs, exotic, polished and very high-end.

Heart
Amber wood, white flowers and geranium form a warm, elegant heart, silky and opulent, balancing floral softness with glowing amber richness.

Dry Down
Cedarwood, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver and oud incense settle into a smoky, resinous, woody base.

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.

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.

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.

How It Smells

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

Heart

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.

Dry Down
Saffron, Thai oud, amberwood, black vanilla, Martinique rum and Indonesian patchouli, with benzoin, cypriol and ambroxan, create a smooth, late-night aura.

Oud Paradisio unveils itself: a fragrance at once powerful, captivating, opulent, and audacious. Dominating with majesty is a dark, enveloping oud wood. At the top, the fresh, citrusy brightness of bergamot is enlivened by the juicy, succulent sweetness of frosted pineapple, while a subtle veil of incense and saffron whispers through the composition.
The exquisite floral heart unfolds as a precious trio of roses, two essences 01 and an absolute 02, imbuing the composition with elegance and depth. The warm base marries shadowy oud with cocoa, creating an arrangement rich in intensity and sumptuous voluptuousness. Sensuality blossoms among a woody warmth, nuanced with subtle restraint. Its assertive character is sculpted by the animalic accents revealed through the potent olfactory presence of oud essence. Complex and surprising, Oud Paradisio is a nocturnal perfume steeped in mystery.

Gothic, powdery and smoke-tinged, a night flight toward the flame. Zoologist Moth opens with a heavy dose of dark spices, settles into honeyed rose and powdery florals, and trails away over oud, guaiac wood, nagarmotha and smoke. Perfumer Tomoo Inaba composed it for Zoologist Perfumes, which released it in 2018.

The Story

Their days are spent secluded in camouflage, the intricate patterns of their wings disguising them against a coarse backdrop of bark and rock. When they finally stir, even their flight is concealed beneath the cover of night. Moonlight ripples off a delicate coating of tiny hairs as feathered antennae guide them in search of a mate, yet one temptation can lure them from their quest: should they succumb to the flame, the urge to procreate may be quashed in a wisp of smoke and a smattering of ashes. At first encounter, the rich, gothic scent of Zoologist Moth may surprise, but soon it hypnotizes. A heavy dose of dark spices jolts the senses before settling into a dusting of honey-sweet rose and powdery florals, then takes flight on an exotic journey of nagarmotha, guaiac wood and patchouli, with a smoky undertone that reminds you of the danger within the tantalizing flame.

How It Smells

Opening
Black pepper, cinnamon, clove, cumin, nutmeg and saffron sharpen a bright lemon top.

Heart
Rose, iris, heliotrope, jasmine, mimosa and muguet form a dry, powdery floral heart sweetened with honey.

Dry Down
Oud, guaiac wood, nagarmotha, patchouli, vetiver and resins sit over ambergris and musk, with smoke drifting through.
