Fruit Captain

2026 SPACE NK purchase He's definitely a fruity and fresh Captain! You know something is fabulous when you're on an escalator in a shopping mall, and you receive a complimentary blast of gorgeousness and start following the trail to the exact spot... this was Space NK in the fabulous Bullring in Birmingham and the staff giggled and confessed when I told I smelt something fabulous on the escalator and they'd taken the Captain out of his ship and sprayed the sea of people outside, it worked ! It's a fresh burst of apples on the opening followed by a tropical fruit basket of clean ckean fabulousness - this is a fresh fruity all above board captain, he is classy too, this definitely is not a sultry tropical nights perfume (no coconut here). It's shower fresh. This is exceptionally well blended, a little salty hint but no dredger skank (!) the dry down is beautiful, super clean musk with a hint of those initial apples. It's long lasting too, about 6 hours on my skin. TIP: If you don't want to spend £220 on the Captain, here are two very budget friendly suggestions to give you a similar emotional vibe: Anna Sui Fantasia Mermaid She's fruity, saltier, fresh and has a clean musk dry down too - I think this one is closest to the Captain to be honest, it's also cheap as chips. Buy the body lotion as well as this is very powerful underneath the Captain as well DKNY Be Delicious will give you a similar vibe especially if you want the apples clean musk vibe - you can layer this with the Anna Sui Mermaid 🧜🏼♀️ 🍏

Starts out smelling like a designer fruity - but with very clear and crisp Granny Smith as the lead in. Green apple and floral slowly evolves into the strawberry plum and musk notes and evolves into a fruity (strawberry!) hippy incense accord that I love! The dry down has a very slight "ashy" or slightly fuzzy smell which supports this "fruity boxed cone incense" smell. Don't let the ambroxan note scare you - it is barely perceptible and only supports the longevity - it never veers masculine and doesn't become sharp. The dry down is rich and grown up - definitely try it on skin otherwise you might be led to believe that this is not so unique. I think that people who enjoy the original Si Intense (in the black bottle) or Izia La Nuit will find quality here.

Love at first sniff. I’m usually afraid that I’ll only like a perfume at the beginning and then it turns into something completely different. But this one is a fruity bomb from start to finish. I mainly smell strawberry, apple, and raspberry. It’s a pleasant scent that doesn’t bother people around you — very office-friendly. The first thing that came to my mind when I sprayed it was: pure joy in a bottle. When I wear it, I genuinely feel like I’m in a garden surrounded by juicy fruit, and it just makes me feel good. Personally, it doesn’t smell synthetic to me at all.

(GF writing) my boyfriend sprayed this perfume without me realising and i was SURE he ate grape candy or drank grape fanta, it smells uncanny to grape fanta in the best way possible !!!! I cant stop smelling his neck couple hours later, i feel it smells more masculine and fresh after drying on the skin

I want this one. Smelled this in the parfumestore. Took a test strip with me and smelled it for days. Trying to justify the prive as it is not a verry unique scent.

A real fruity lemonade for summer. Sweet and long-lasting, it spreads beautifully on the skin.

Smells like Fruit Loops and grape soda in the best way possible.

Strawberry and raspberry candy. The fragrance opens with a burst of genuinely pleasant, uplifting fruity berry sweetness that I thoroughly enjoy. As it wears on, it remains rather one-dimensional and, in the end, becomes a little synthetic and dull.

Grape juice 🍇 but with sharp freshness 🤔 (that is also present in Miami Shake by Juliette Has a Gun). I usually love Bibbi house and fruity fun scents but this is very synthetic and not refined.

Unfortunately too cloying and reminiscent of rotting fruit under high summer heat (on me).

I really hate the opening. It's sickly sweet. The opening smelt like generic cheap perfume. Given the review below that's accurate but not something you really want at the price point. It gets richer in the dry down but it's really not for me. I found it cloying and I wanted to wash it off, which is not a reaction I usually have to any perfume. I think it's the strawberry that's the problem for me. It's hard to make a strawberry perfume smell sophisticated and it's dominant. Swimming Pool on the other hand and Ghost of Tom are delicious and definitely where it's at for me in terms of the scent profile, their uniqueness and feeling worthy of their price tag. I really love them both. Obviously it's all subjective but this one is a definite no for me. I got a 10ml bottle free with 100ml Swimming Pool.

This is a huge strawberry scent. Since The Body Shop discontinued their strawberry perfume oil, I have not smelled anything like it. Wonderful.
