What wearers say
âI donât really know what to write, because I donât get the hype on this fragrance. Maybe I might have gotten a bad batchâŠ. It does not even last on my skin either on clothes. It does really smell like a bad strawberry⊠not good at all⊠I tried to layer it with Lira but still no lasting power. Itâs just a waste of money.. please donât blind buy.â
âLa CapitaleOverall: 5/10Projection: 8/10Longevity: 8/10Sillage: 8/10Comments:La Capitale is an interesting roller coaster of a fragrance. I get a lot of strawberry and saffron from the opening which I like. In the dry-down, I then smell more of the benzoin and labdanum. I like the fruity top notes and wish they were stronger for a longer time. I don't think Xerjoff has made a bad perfume with La Capitale. However, it isn't the one for me.â
âI just received my bottle from Jomashop i checked the batch code itâs 4 months old . Itâs soooooo weak .. did i get a bad batch?? Did they reformulate it ?? Do i let it sit ?? Such a beautiful scent but disappears in less then 30 minutes no projection whatsoever.. it was a blind buy Iâm beyond disappointed.â

Sillage
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.

Sillage
The clone lacks the depth and projection of the original, with a softer leather presence and less prominent saffron spice in the heart. Longevity is reduced by approximately 3-4 hours compared to La Capitale's typical 7-8 hour wear time.
