Capricci

Capricci has stolen my heart and won’t give it back, not until a find myself a bottle at least. This decant from the 1960s, I believe, is unspeakably stunning. It’s been a long time since a scent has left me near-enough speechless, but this ethereal floral did just that. The soft, dusty impression of orris is made sweet and candied, slightly powdery, with a strong resemblance to parma violets. This sugared floral has just a whisper of green aromatics, like buds yet to blossom amongst their elders, with white florals lending a gentle, clean soapiness. The end result is incredibly delicate, innocent and surprisingly sweet. I absolutely adore this scent, they truly don’t make florals like this anymore. It actually reminds me of Chanel’s Misia, which obviously came out decades after this, and I wonder if there was any inspiration there. Either way, this is a god-tier floral.

@reborn Capricci doesn't smell old or dated, I think it's blasphemous to categorize it that way. It smells of another time. Just like Farouche, it smells romantic, hazy, all meadows and daisies. Ticklish giggles and golden hair. If you liked the orientals of the 80's, which for me I consider as the golden age of the genre, then Capricci is an altogether different experience. Before, I dismissed florals as boring but this one smells so beautiful that it could bring you to tears. Capricci is a superbly-blended floral with oakmoss, iris root and rose as main accords. All other else rounds off the composition. It's truly wonderful and doesn't smell like any other. I quite disagree with the accords above. To me it smells sweet, chalky, somewhat balsamic, powdery and rosy. Seek the parfum :) Hope that helps. Edit: I’ve read in some text that Marcel Carles created this.

Capricci is a sort of countryside rose. A countryside rose for dames. A real classy perfume for a Windsor. A sort of Aromatics Elixir purified and perfect for an etoile of the dance. Many roses that open clear and fresh and then dry out in a game of small woods and aromatic herbs warmed by the sun. Real perfection in balance. Pretty soapy. Romantic nostalgic but in a quite happy way. SO FRENCH SO CHIC. I can't believe in such ignorance about Nina Ricci. That is not an italian brand and it has never been. She was french. Only the surname is italian but she was italian like di Caprio or Madonna are. The brand was born in Paris in the 30s when she was about in her 50es.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a feminist fragrance long before the famous feminist decade 84-94. It is a perfume to be worn on a feminist suit with a jacket with double buttons. It is a perfume made for elegance, but a cold and sober elegance. It smells green, slightly floral, vibrates with some very interesting wood notes and last but not least, it has a spicy aura, but spiced in a subtle way.Is that a woman dressed in a suit from 90 style, who seems very calm in a meeting and suddenly she got up from her chair at the head of the table and punch it. I just love this perfume

Strong fragrance - got the vintage parfum and it's so beautifully floral and woody like it dances from one to the other while blending in your skin. It is classic and fresh and herbal all at the same time. Timelessly sexy like if a woman wore this I would be following her trail because it gets intoxicating that's how beautiful this is.
