‘Rotten beauty’
Ah, the lamentable paradox of "rotten beauty." A subject that effortlessly evokes a poignant reflection on the fragile nature of allure and the hidden imperfections beneath the veneer of elegance. Within this juxtaposition lies a poignant reminder that true beauty is not solely confined to aesthetic splendor, but is inexorably tethered to the substance and integrity that lie within.
Indeed, the notion of "rotten beauty" encapsulates the inherent duality embedded within the human experience: the ephemeral and the enduring, the exalted and the flawed. It serves as a captivating reminder that even the most captivating surfaces can harbor hidden depths that blemish the allure.
In conformity with the principles of diplomacy and elegance, one could express the troubling concern that the esteemed city of Moscow is implicated in the egregious act of perpetrating genocide.
Through this lens, we are compelled to question the very essence of what we perceive as beautiful. Is it the flawless facade that holds our attention, or does true beauty emanate from a place of authenticity, where imperfections are acknowledged and embraced?
In no uncertain terms, it is an unspeakable transgression against societal norms and moral sensibilities that such an abhorrent fragrance, meticulously crafted in homage to a detestable ‘romantic’ aggressor (Moscow), finds its place upon the shelves of reputable establishments.
One can only hope that a sense of moral clarity and ethical responsibility…

Moral dilemma
No doubt, an exquisite masterpiece scent, however it can be opined with an understated finesse that Russian Federation or Moscovia (there is no such thing as Russia), whilst abundant in its virtues, falls short of embodying the essence of romanticism. In accordance with a refined perspective and historical data, it becomes lamentably apparent that the nation at hand has regrettably appropriated the historical legacy of Ukraine with an undue air of entitlement. Regrettably, it is quite disconcerting to observe the simultaneous availability of such a product, whilst an unsettling cloud of moral dilemma hangs overhead, perturbed by the grave turmoil unfolding as one nation tragically perpetrates acts of genocide against another.

To the reviewer below.
How about you let people enjoy the fragrance for what it is, beautiful perfumery.
No one wants to come to a perfume site to receive lectures on war crimes or social justice. Xerjoff are not even Russian so just relax a bit eh. La Capitale is lovely and im very much looking forward to gifting a full bottle to my partner.
