A Girl In Capri

What I smell in the bottle and as an opening on my skin of A Girl in Capri is definitely sima! Sima is a Finnish mead-like beverage, with very low alcoholic content due to limited fermentation. It's a drink for the spring and consumed especially on the First of May which is a national holiday. Even though it contains alcohol, albeit just the slightest amount, it's largely regarded as children's drink that adults can drink, too. Nowadays you can buy it in grocery stores but when I was a child, my mother used to make it herself for the First of May celebrations. Water, lemons, brown sugar, some raisins and a bit of yeast, and a delicious beverage was born. When I spray A Girl in Capri on my skin, I'm immediately taken back to my childhood home drinking sima in a tall glass at the kitchen table with my mother there beside me. The sun is shining, it's warm and lovely outside with birches starting to grow light green buds of leaves (mouse ears they are called), and the whole world is sparkling bright and new after the long cold winter, as they once were. I love the scent of A Girl in Capri, and even if it doesn't last on my skin that well, I really don't mind reapplying throughout the day, because it truly takes me back home.

This fragrance has the best incorporation of the marine note as you get a beach feeling but no weird musty or stale smells, instead it is a really delicious and refreshing lemon, the flowers are subtle, not harsh, just giving a nice zing. I can also smell the driftwood up close which I never thought would be a note I would find nostalgic but it really does remind me of my childhood and how actually nice dried driftwood smells on a hot beach. Amazing that fragrances can make you realize this. There is also a subtle sweetness which makes it more feminine but not so much to make it too sweet or cloying, could even be unisex for a guy who enjoys sweeter citruses. As the citruses fade, but still linger in the background, with time the fragrance gets sweeter and muskier and reminds me of a nice warm sunset by the beach - with the sharp smell of drying driftwood, salty sea wind and wet sand penetrating your nose as you enjoy the sound of waves and how the warm red rays touch your skin. My conclusion that this is a great reminder of beach feels, sunsets and in general an enjoyable and safe summer scent!

I got this as a blind buy in an online marketplace for $15. On the day it arrived I’d already sprayed myself with my very precious (almost finished) Le Feu D’Issey, but once it had dried down to base notes I spritzed a little bit of this down the front of my shirt. It was nice, sweet, simple, lemony and cute. Shortly after I took the dogs out for a walk through the nearby pine forest, it was cold and lightly drizzling, and I live on the coast so a salty sea breeze was blowing in. Suddenly I was hit smack in the nostrils by all of the scents around me mingling with the woody goodness of Le Feu and the fresh zesty optimism of AGIC. My first thought was “Gypsy Water?” and then all thoughts were erased and pure presence in nature took over. So yeah, I’m gonna layer the sh*t out of this one and you should too.

Different day, sunny and hot, different notes come out, today is in line more with the accords. It’s not the same as light blue by gabbana, it’s as if you’re sitting near the sea, on a Mediterranean mountain top with herby things growing in the brush, citrus is citrus peel to me, aromatics... Light blue (and that line) are zingy fresh and have a really different middle (still love it, was my first ever proper scent). Lanvin has put out a real proper (they’ve also put out some rubbish over the years in terms of longevity) thoughtful scent, with good longevity. The new Libre by ysl is different but shares the same aromatic thread to some degree. It’s fresh, different, not a fruity- tooty, not a sweetie- pateetie

What a pretty and refreshing summer fragrance! Lemon and grapefruit are my favorite citrus notes. This is a youthful and happy perfume, perfect for vacation or whenever you need a mood boost. First, it smells fizzy like an European carbonated beverage and then becomes more creamy. There's a hint of marine smell in the background. It's sweet but not a sugar bomb. Moschino Happy! is very different. A girl in Capri is nicer, more refined perfume with better longevity and sillage. I enjoy it very much and would recommend it. If you like citrus notes, especially lemon and grapefruit blossom this one is a rather safe blind buy.

Wow - this is such a hidden gem! This is a bright lemon with orange blossom/neroli (which is listed as grapefruit blossom in the notes), and to me a strong beachy woodiness (the driftwood) at the base that keeps this fresh, light, but also grounded and interesting. There is a slight creaminess, but not vanilla, and this isn’t really a sugared lemon. I think fans of Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt would love this. I like to layer this with D&G Light Blue Love is Love when I want a little extra sweetness and femininity. Despite the name “A Girl in Capri,” I would categorize this as solidly unisex.

Starts with a blast of fresh lemons, zesty, not sweet at all, neither sour or bitter, just pure fresh lemony citrus. Then a salty breeze rolls in like waves on a beach. Now, to my pleasant surprise, something very creamy starts to settle with traces of driftwood. It is very hard to dislike this fragrance. It does not smell like the thousand other usual citrus/aquatic freshies on the market, creamy dry down is suprisingly pleasant. Of course longevity and sillage are weak since it is a citrus centered summer fragrance. Price point doesn’t hurt to respray it through out the day.

A very weak perfume on my skin, not only in terms of sillage and persistence, but also the smell is very subtle. However, it smells so nice and the price is so good that I don't mind applying it more often. It smells like my childhood summer vacations in the countryside, giving me nostalgia. Clean sheets, lemonade, breeze, and grass. But it’s nothing astringent, it’s really well blended and suave/gentle. I have both I love love from Moschino and this one and they smell different. Also, for someone who wants a stronger citrus scent, I would suggest Moschino. I prefer Lanvin.

This is a love at first sniff. Light, comforting citrus scent with a cozy musky amber base. Honestly A Girl In Capri is quite similar to Light Blue but the salty sea note gives it a beautiful twist, making it more rounded and unique. Good quality solid glass bottle and heavy cap, which is another plus. I love this perfume, just wishing that it has better projection and lasts longer but I am happy with what I get. Update: This actually has pretty good longevity, the citrus blast does not stay forever ofc but the rest, especially the sea note, lasts for a very long time.

I love this one. Possibly, my favorite citrus-centric fragrance. I'd never encountered a scent before that smells of fresh and vibrant citruses and yet is soft and creamy at the same time. It is very pretty and the presentation - both the bottle and the ad - matches the fragrance perfectly. I can smell it on my skin 4-6 hours after spraying. Sillage is pretty strong. A coworker standing 3-4 feet away remarked that I smell wonderful. "A Girl in Capri" is going to be a mainstay in my perfume wardrobe.

So.. the Girl of Now, Who Can Do Anything, is now in Capri. A lot of girls in the perfume names nowadays! Very fresh citrus scent which is definitely nothing unique, nothing new. I have smelled this many times before. Still I like it and would wear it. Such a refreshing, happy scent, fit for hot climate. I am not a girl. If someone asked me what am I wearing, I'd have to answer: "Bank of England in Capri." Just kidding, but the name is silly. The pink font is tacky. How about simply "Capri"?

It's like younger version of D&G's light blue? It's not the same scent as to be called dupe or clone (they're so diff!) but you get the same citrusy element and goodness of wood notes on its base. A real nice summer scent for me since I looove light blue and dislike floral fruity kind like Acqua di Gioia or Versace Dylan Blue pour Femme. It got good performance and longetivity, a total worthy buy for the price. A Total gem for me and absolutely a wonderful finding (thank you Lanvin!).

Summer is here and I'm wearing this girl 😎🌞 It's the perfect hot summer scent, in my opinion for dry weather. I wish it lasted longer though but, I can't complain, the nozzle and mist are perfection, and price point 😌 This scent on linen clothes oh my 😍😍😍 For hot humid summers, I'd suggest Boucheron Quatre, not similar but it's freshie that withstands sweat, whereas A girl in Capri doesn't. Despite the flowers and sweetness I consider both mentioned, unisex and perfect for layering

A stunningly fresh and super sweet lemon fragrance that settles to a soft musky floral heart. I ADORE this perfume. My first bottle was a fleeting experience but I loved the actual scent so much I bought a couple more.bottles. my second bottle lasts longer.....up to 5 hours. Its a clean and pretty scent, wonderful in cold and hot weather on my skin. One of my favourite perfumes is Versace Yellow Diamond and for me A Girl in Capri is a very similar perfume experience. Beautiful !!

This perfume to me is summer in a bottle. It is so fresh and juicy, you can feel the sun on your skin and a light sea breeze when you apply it. I absolutely adore citric scents and this is one of my favourite after Acqua di Parma Magnolia Nobile. If you like fresh citrus perfumes but you do not want to splurge on Acqua di Parma, this is definitely the way to go. The longevity on my skin is also amazing, I can smell it the whole day.

Can we please talk about the bottle first? It is beautiful and I can really appreciate the heavy cap instead of cheap light plastic ones. I would choose this over light blue anyday. I am saving this beautiful baby for my positano trip. Some may say that this fragrance lacks character but in my opinion that is the purpose of this fragrance. Straightforward and works beautifully in the heat especially with sweat.

So I love this scent a lot! It's fresh, sweet and easy to wear if you're looking for a citrusy sodesque perfume to spray as you see fit. My only real issues are that it has very poor last powering, and that it lacks any real progression in the drydown. It also does smell quite a bit like Moschino Funny with less going on, but I knew it was likely when it sits as the most similair scent listed.

This is a beautiful scent, happy, sunny, bright citrus with just the right amount of sweetness. I'm in my 40s and I really like this for summer. It would be a great perfume if the performance would be better. I literally can only smell it while I spray it, a few min later it's already fading away. I suppose that is the only reason why it's not extremely popular.

This juice is so pretty! Citron-lemony, fresh, clean laundry musk -- mmmmmmm!!! It's definitely nothing groundbreaking, but that's OK. If you like stuff like CKN2U, CK One, Ed Hardy Love & Luck, even Guerlain Eau de Fleurs de Cedrat, you'll enjoy this perfume. For a lemon/citron fragrance, its longevity is good, too. Lemony loveliness! :)

The scent is very nice - citrusy, clean and refreshing BUT... it is so weak when it comes to longevity and sillage! I think that no one beside me can smell it. The scent also does not stay on skin or clothes for a long time. That is sad because I would like everyone to be able to smell it ;)
