Bronze Goddess Capri

Today I tested this at Belk after much anticipation. A note about the Bronze Goddess line: Capri is an eau fraiche skinscent like the others from this line, therefore a light scent...that's a great thing for hot summer days though. Also, it's only available once annually in the spring. The Estee Lauder SA told me that once its sold out, no more are produced until the following spring. Review of Capri: Capri is heavy on patchouli in comparison to the coconut-y-suntan lotion-y original Bronze Goddess version available this year. I really like it, but it wasn't what I expected. I find this heavy for summer and believe it would be a great transitional scent for late summer/early fall. This scent is well blended and I smell none of the individual notes, other than patchouli of course. Capri is warm and sensual yet light and refreshing. Verdict: I prefer the scent of the original Bronze Goddess for summer days, but may purchase this for a summer evening or late summer/early fall scent. I LOVE the bottle designs from this line. Rating: 4.5/5 STARS Update: I couldn't wait considering this sells out quickly and then becomes hard-to-find and Estee Lauder also has a free skin care gift with a $35 purchase going on right now,so I bought it from Belk yesterday!

Saw the pretty bottle at the Estee Lauder counter and couldn't resist spraying. My first reaction was of juicy tropical fruit, very refreshing. I expected it to fade away quickly and that the fruitiness would dry down into something that would resemble a tropical cocktail after the ice melts, but this did not happen! When I sniffed my arm a little later, imagine my amazement to smell a soft, creamy vanilla with a good dose of musk. I smell jasmine very easily as well. It's so warm, and with the trail of fruit left behind, it very much made me feel like I was on a beach vacation. I went back to Estee Lauder a couple hours later to purchase a bottle. If you don't like coconut but want a beautiful, tropical perfume for the summer that is not made by Jennifer Lopez or Victoria's Secret, I highly recommend trying this one out. It's basically a tropical vanilla.

I tried it a few hours ago and it was love at first smell! Steps out from the croud. A very, very unique summer's frangrance. Although I'm a huge fan of fresh perfumes like pleasures, I liked it so much, I can still smell it on my wrist. Has a warm scent but it isn't heavy or unpleasant. Very french riviera and sailing boat mood. It reminds me a little of Alchimie Rochas but Capri is much more lighter. I was searching for a cucumber or melon kind of perfume for this summer but although Capri is completely different, I'm definitely going to buy it. So very chic, I love it!

Capri is the only Bronze Goddess I have tried in the range. I can only find it now on Ebay and am constantly on the lookout for it! I always get compliments when I wear it and it seems to suit my skin so well... I absolutely LOVE it!! Anyone who has a bottle for sale, please let me know!!

Update: To add to my previous review below, I wore this again with slightly cooler weather recently, and the amber really stood out for me. Still a soft and subtle amber. I love Capri even more each time I wear it!
