Carnation, citrus, and a very bright orange blossom open this sunny composition, all driven by an aldehydic burst that’s perhaps a bit too emphatic to avoid an impression of artificiality. The citrus top note dissipates rapidly to leave a crisp, powdery white flower and carnation heart resting on a lightly sweetened vanillic foundation. In time the carnation creeps further to the fore, while some very light woods emerge in the base.
Fiori di Capri is a happy scent that can easily be worn in any number of settings, from work to dinner parties. Its sunlit nature might suggest that it’s primarily a hot weather fragrance, but it has a nice “pick-me-up” quality in winter, too. In sum, it’s versatile and appealing, if not terribly distinctive, and while it doesn’t excite me, I think it’s worth a try for anyone who likes carnation, but finds the carnation offerings from Caron and Comme des Garçons too sharp or heavy. It is a very very awsome perfume, one might use it to enhance his/her personality.
