La Capitale is a fruity, sweet, Ambery scent created in 2018 by perfumer Chris Maurice.
It is a genderless fragrance that works for anyone who likes scents with a sweet side.
It pays homage to the beauty and romanticism of the city of Moscow, the capital of Russia.
It comes from the Spotlight collection, previously known as the Shooting Stars collection.
The Spotlight collection is dedicated to exclusivity and the olfactory experience.
Upon first spray of La Capitale, you get the soft, fruity nuances of Strawberry and Peach. The Caramel note is soft, but is boosted by the warmth of Labdanum, which is a Leather-like note. The Labdanum is a note that is not typically found in the top layer of a fragrance, but pushes the fruits and Caramel to linger better than they would without it.
Leather and Saffron in the heart keep that gentle warmth lingering nicely, with the Leather adding its signature nuance in a very soft way.
Ginger adds a gentle sparkle to Rose, both of which are also soft, and pair well with the fruits and Caramel in the opening.
Amber adds a creamy quality, adding warmth to Vanilla Bourbon and Vanilla-like Benzoin.
The scent stays relatively light, but lingers nicely on the skin, especially in its Parfum variation.
The scent pyramid breaks down as such:
Top: Strawberry, Caramel, Peach, Labdanum
Heart: Leather, Iranian Saffron, Ginger, Rose, Amber
Base: Benzoin, Vanilla Bourbon
Just like the city of Moscow, La Captiale gives soft, romantic vibes that also feels very casual and everyday wearable.
It is a great scent for any time, place, or occasion. It works well in all seasons, but will work especially great in the Spring and Summer weather.
You can find La Capitale at Parfumerie Nasreen, in store and online.
