The Scoop
Kashaf captures the crisp citrus opening and earthy iris heart of La Capitale quite well, making it a respectable aromatic interpretation. However, the base notes diverge noticeably, with Kashaf leaning warmer and slightly sweeter due to increased amber, whereas the original maintains a drier, more refined woody finish. The overall structure mirrors the original's intent, though the clone lacks some of the architectural precision and refinement expected from Xerjoff's composition.
Key Differences
Kashaf's base is warmer and more amber-forward compared to La Capitale's dryer vetiver-cedarwood finish. The clone also shows slightly reduced longevity and a less complex development through the fragrance's evolution.

What wearers say
“Baby powder and fruity vape juice, not that that is a bad thing but that’s what it is. Mine was potent right out of the box.Opening leans femme but then becomes more unisex within 30minutes once the sweet florals calm down.Smells reminiscent of a lot of middle eastern frags I’ve tried.Could be passable for cooler summer nights but this is really a fall winter frag.”
“Blind purchased this one as it was listed as a Xerjoff La Capitale dupe... On me, this is definitely 85-90% on par with La Capitale.... At a much cheaper price point!!”
“This fragrance closely resembles La Capitale, and I would dare to say it's even better. It has a pleasant scent with moderate sillage and projection. There's a slight fruity note accompanied by a touch of woodiness, making it ideal for transitional weather.”
