Caprice De Marie

Such a lively, happy fruity perfume! Like carefree summer in a bottle! I wonder why it's not getting more attention, because to my nose it is an absolute delight. Since there are no notes listed on fragrantica yet, here is the official note breakdown: Top: pineapple, black currant, pear Heart: peach, lily of the valley, caramel Base: patchouli, musk, vanilla

"Caprice de Marie by Chabaud is an eau de parfum with fruity notes of peach mixed with blackcurrant, pineapple and pear. " To me it's blueberry and a little strawberry.... fruity anyway...Escada eat your heart out (but a bit more serious) Projects and lasts well. A happy scent.

Pineapple shoots in first, fresh and beaming, but it’s not the usual tropical juice-box kind—it’s caramelized, its edges kissed into glucose, its brightness smoothed into something richer, deeper, a beach-party at golden hour. Then pear joins in, honeyed and syrupy but in an effortlessly elegant way. Like a fruit salad that’s been poached in something expensive. It teeters a little on the edge of being too sweet in the beginning, but the patchouli swoops in nicely to save the day, to keep everything a little more grounded. A scent that knows how to indulge without overindulging, warm without being heavy, sweet without being childish. A gorgeously balanced scent, the kind you keep sniffing and sighing over, wondering why all caramels can’t be this polished.

This starts out like fruity shampoo to me, like Garnier Fructis but in a good way. When it dries down it doesn't stay so fruit forward and balances out to blend well with the other notes. I don't smell the caramel note though (listed on scent split). It lasts all day but is just more faint by the end. Overall its pretty nice. Notes are Top: Pineapple, black current, pear Middle: Peach, lily of the valley, caramel Base: Patchuli, musk, vanilla

Fruity floral, with a prominent peach, and I`d say Yellow plum. I smell no pineapple. It has a slightly timbery, more strict note there too, I don`t think it`s patchouli or black currant; it`s more of a faint mossy timber. Overall it`s a sweet, fruity, summery, a bit powdery scent, Chloe Nomade meets Escada Rockin Rio :)
