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 ;)

My favourite summer scent. Authentic and realistic smell of citrus, very refreshing, but not very sweet. Very pleasant, youthful and carefree scent, I will definitely buy a new bottle as soon as I finish my 30 ml bottle. Longevity and sillage are moderate.

Absolutely beautiful I wasnit looking for another fragrance but picke this one up with its sunny box. I smelled apricot a light, airily sort, a little sweet, I would have to test on a pulse point to really detect more, not your average sweetie, or fruity.

This is a perfect, inoffensive, summer scent for work. I really enjoy it. It was a blind purchase and I miss it now I have run out of it. I preferred it to D&G Light Blue, finding the longevity better and it less shrill.

Moderate/strong sillage, very long longevity. I really adore it. Very citrusy and pure, so feminine and modern. Perfect for warm weather because of the citrus, but in winter it feels great. Suits perfect night or day.

I bought this for my teen daughter. It is lemony and musky and perfect for a memorable, youthful summer. She loves it and can't stop spritzing herself which makes me happy. Memories of youth and summer here she comes!

I love this. Similar to Moschino Funny, but this lasts longer and is brighter. For a citrus lasts all day. Best price on Perfumenet. The bottle is gorgeous, heavy, and Lanvin is a new house for me to explore.

My favorite lemon 🍋 citrusy scent, possibly because it's a sweet lemon I absolutely love this scent, the bottle, the sprayer But the longevity 😑 I wish there was an EDP version Forever in my collection

To me it's amazing little gem that can make you feel happy in the morning when you go to work or on the beach. It's just like a sweet lemon juice and have good lasting.

Smells like adolescence in a good way. Citruisy, lemony, creamy and light. You just want to continue to smell it. Would also recommend as a gift.

I love, love, love this perfume! I ordered it because I thought the notes suited me and I was right. It’s not overpowering. It’s a great scent.

Refreshing, bright citrus with white flowers. Airy, light. Short life, but for that price, I don't mind having to spray it again.

Bought for my teenager as a gift. It smells amazing. Perfect youthful summer scent and bonus she loves it just as much!

This fragrance smells so good!! I love it! However it has no lasting power. If it did it would be an all time favorite.

I absolutely love 😍 this scent I wish it lasted longer though but for the price I can't complain

A nice white musk! But not very citrus. Mostly musk. I wear it all the time though.

Fresh and wonderful scent, feel amazing and more confidence. Thank you!

I got it for a pretty good price and I'm loving it Lovely 😍

Such a pity it doesn't last more than 30 min....

I like all kind of hesperides in perfumery, so I was immediately attracted to this sunny, summer-like Girl in Capri. I liked it a lot and smelled it many times before deciding for a full bottle. It's a joyful fragrance, that does convey the image of vacation, sun, lighthearted moments and joie-de-vivre (and God knows how much we need these feelings after this troubled year). This fragrance opens surely lemony but also is big on the grapefruit - the blossom is listed here but do NOT believe it! it's pure plain peel and juice of grapefruit itself. So if this note is not your friend (on some skins it turns acrid and urine -like) stay away. I dont' get a really sea, marine note - unless what they mean with aquatic here is calone that gives that melon-watermelon feel. However now that I have worn it several times, I must say that the central notes are quite fruity/sweet (calone?) and that does not get me head over heels. Not a love but a like, and I can see finishing the bottle, sooner or later. It makes me feel refreshed. Longevity: better than many other citrus summer frags, sillage is medium. The comparison with Moschino Funny is correct, however being Girl in Capri relatively new, it is way more widely available in shops. This is an affordable, funny and uncomplicated perfume for summerdays. Beautiful bottle and packaging, by the way.

A Girl in Capri is the perfect citrus, fresh scent for a hot summer day. In Capri or anywhere else where is hot and humid! I find the way this smells very evocative of a vacation day in the South of Europe. It is indeed very lemony, has some sweetness in it from the bergamot, some sharpness and bitterness from the grapefruit blossom and a slight warmth feel from the amber. But at its core, A Girl in Capri is all about bright, vibrant lemon, bergamot, grapefruit blossoms, sea notes and clean musk. I find it a bit too sharp and astringent in the first minutes after application but the amber and the driftwood from the dry down cuts through the lemons’ acidity and sharpness and tames the scent quite nicely. It’s not my number one summertime fresh scent, but I got a 90 ml bottle on a great deal at TJMaxx. In full honesty, I would not buy this for full retail price. It has a very classic bottle design, with a hefty white cap, contrasting against the lemony yellow of the juice. Does feel like a nice quality bottle. The box design looks eye catching and fits well the youthful, carefree, holiday aesthetic and the juice profile. On me, my well macerated bottle lasts for 6-7 hours with moderate sillage, which is more than I expected from an EDT concentration. Performs better than expected.

So, I planned to test it, but I haven't thought I'm going to like it that much. At first, I can smell lemons, but not your average lemons. They're bitter, almost like an expensive aperitif. And the first blast is intriguing enough, so I keep waiting. After a while, an hour or so, I got a wonderful mix of light woods and musk. I would like to distinguish grapefruit flower, maybe that's it mixed with the other notes, either way, it's wonderful. I really like the middle part and I wish it lasted and lasted. I don't think it's going to be super long lasting. A day scent, the best, but maybe it's just an impression in a colder weather. It's promising, to say at least and I'm going to give it another try in a warmer season. A Girl in Capri knows what to wear to feel great. Great with herself. If the others like it and are drown to her, great. If not, well, she's still going to have the time of her life. The middle notes remind me of the middle notes of Eau de L'Orangerie by Lancome. Maybe that's why I like it so much. Nevertheless, something tells me, it's going to end up in my collection anyway. It's definitely worth giving a try. Especially if you've been disappointed with the recent Lanvin releases.

Hmm, it’s a little weird how different people have completely different experiences with this fragrance, but here are my takes on it: First of all, imo this is not a photorealistic lemon smell for sure. It lacks the freshness, brightness and crispiness I was expecting from a “freshly-cut lemon” smell. The lemon in this smells dry. Second of all, I can smell quite well the marine and woodsy notes from the pyramid. And the wood notes smell soaked in sea water (from the marine notes), so it’s quite peculiar I would say. The fragrance itself is ok, not bad, it actually grows on me the more I use it. From the first spray I was a little disappointed because I was expecting a true lemon smell, but this is much sweeter than I thought and the base gets even sweeter than the opening. That being said, it smells really nice on cotton fabrics and surprisingly, it had quite a good staying power on me for a citrus frag (I could smell it on me for at least 3 hours, oversprayed). Doesn’t have the best projection though. Overall: 8.5/10 -> it’s a nice addition to my collection, that I will gladly use.

This fragrance was launched right before I went on a trip to Italy, and at this price point, it was a no-brainer to throw it into my suitcase. Ever since, it has reminded me of those carefree, hot days along the Amalfi Coast, ice cream served in lemons, and skin warmed by the sun. It's a beautiful, girly citrus scent, a younger cousin to the Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo line. It doesn't quite match it in terms of sophistication or longevity, but it's not even trying to. Instead, it smells like the very best version of a youthful perfume. It's the fragrance you reach for when you want to freshen up after a long day at the beach, or the bottle you keep in your purse after an early morning flight, knowing your next hotel check-in isn't until the afternoon.

Very easy-to-wear sweet summer lemon. Though not interesting, its very pleasant and good value for money at least here in Europe. Then again, due to the fact that the longevity and sillage is more on the limited side, it may be better to get one of Aqua Allegorias...It lasts as much as Acqua di Parma blue line, so these don't make better value than Lanvin btw. I smell predominantly sweet fizzy lemon with a bit of flower and musk. No seawater savoury note or driftwood on my skin other than freshness that may be slight beach breeze. Amber makes it dry down like hard lemon bonbon/candy with enough depth for citrus. Good for layering. *I've layered my sample today on top of l'Heure Bleu EdT by Guerlain.

Innocuous and light, and great for summer. It's fresh and citrusy but has warmth to it as well. There's no cleaning product effect here for me at all, and no acrid synthetic marine notes to report. The floral note is subtle and the base notes happily blended. I don't get fresh lemon so much as the acknowledged bergamot - and also a hint of grapefruit. The fragrance wears pretty consistently over time so you don't wind up with 'off' citrus notes after a few hours. The fragrance just blends a bit more over time. It's not a beast so don't expect monster sillage or longevity. It is, however, a safe, even unisex, bet for something airy, enjoyable, and lovely.

I blind-bought this in hopes it'd be a light, easy, citrusy spritzer that doesn't overstay its welcome and that's exactly what it is! I mostly smell lemon and a slightly sweet grapefruit, with a vaguely creamy musk and a hint of a salted woods vibe giving it a vaguely shoreline vibe. Vaguely. Reminds me in function of Fresh Hesperides Grapefruit, which I also enjoy, but has a flatter base. Lasts about 3 hours on me (though my husband said he could smell it on me hours after that). It's uncomplicated, not screamingly synthetic, no screechiness, no dryer sheets. I got 100ml tester for 22 bucks so I can spritz away! A successful blind buy!

Amo el aroma, es muy fresco y de hecho puedo imaginarme a un hombre usarlo, roza lo unisex. PERO... La duración y la estela son mínimas y decepciona, así como te lo aplicas desaparece. Es un pena porque el aroma es muy rico, fresco, limpio, cítrico ideal para el verano es días de mucho calor. Me imagino usándolo caminando en la playa, o en campo a puro sol, lástima que nadie lo podrá apreciar. ¿Lo volvería a comprar? Si bien me encantó el aroma, por el precio por el que se consigue en Argentina, NO LO VALE Y NO VOLVERÍA A COMPRARLO.

Lemon spritzer. Lovely, soft, fresh, sparkling lemonade. A touch sweet, not sour at all, dries down to a gentle floral like most Lanvins. Of all the lemon scents I've tried for Spring, this is the best. It doesn't leave any kind of sour or acrid drydown on the skin like I've found with others. If you're like me and have the problem of citrus freshies turning into bathroom potpourri or even cat pee on your skin, this one is for you! No danger of anything off, just lovely. Great value, too, for a seasonal perfume.

Fully agree with Marteta: remarkable atomizer! This is a really lovely lemon scent, perfect for summer and quite good lasting for a freshie. It is definitely not a complex or demanding fragrance and sometimes you just need that - a nice lemon to boost your mood. It is a very realistic juicy lemon, not the cleaning detergent kind, and the grapefruit blossom and sea notes compliment it nicely. I like that it really is great value for money and it is not so popular like other summer citruses (DG Light Blue etc).

A Girl in Capri is a bright, cheerful scent that captures the feeling of summer by the sea. It opens with fresh Italian lemon and bergamot, then softens into light grapefruit blossom and a hint of ocean breeze. The base of white musk and driftwood adds a clean, gentle warmth. It feels carefree, sunny, and elegant without being overpowering. Although it doesn’t last very long, it’s perfect for daytime wear or whenever you want a touch of sunshine in your day.
