"Blue Suede Shoes" doesn't just refer to blue suede shoes—or, as they're usually called, suede shoes—but also to a legendary piece of music history. The rock 'n' roll song of the same name by Carl Perkins was released in 1956 and is one of the most successful singles of all time. That same year, the King, Elvis Presley, recorded a slightly faster cover version. Although not originally intended as a single, it ended up on the singles charts and made the song world-famous. With plenty of humor, the lyrics tell the story of someone who adores his blue suede shoes, as he urges, among other things: “Do whatever you want, knock me down, set my house on fire, steal my car …, but just don’t step on my blue suede shoes.”LA CAPITALE – the fragrance honoring the first XERJOFF boutique in Moscow, available exclusively in Xerjoff boutiques and through Classic Parfums! With so much dynamic inspiration, a powerful fragrance was bound to emerge. Creative Director Herbert Stricker’s concept was brought to life by perfumers Blanca Dalmau and Christian Carbonnel.
Right from the start, BLUE SUEDE SHOES greets us with a fresh, herbaceous, and spicy blend. Tart bergamot and aromatic lavender are delicately accented by anise and pepper. The heart notes exude a woody and rather dry undertone. Cedarwood contributes significantly to this, but subdued patchouli, delicate amber, and creamy sandalwood also support this character. A soft base underpins the fresh and woody fragrance with harmoniously blended components such as vetiver, tonka bean, and labdanum. The elegant steel-blue bottle reinforces the impression that BLUE SUEDE SHOES is an expressive citrus fragrance, appreciated equally by men and women alike.
