Cap Nature Fruit Rouge

19. march 2012 So there it was waiting for me all this time on a local trading site. A full 50ml splash bottle for just 6eur. Once again i thought it was a mini, but thanks God i looked twice. NOW ladies, this one is another super yummy fragrance from the good old YR house. First impression smelling it from the bottle: sour red berries. I even could say i smell a bit of a rotten red currant, you know when it has been out for days and just begins to turn bad. But this smell here is not in a bad sense. There is nothing absolutly bad in this fragrance, i can say only good things about it. Upon application it becomes more sour-sweet, quite intense with amazing notes of red berries. There is definitly a raspberry, the ripest raspberry note in here, that ́s why it is so deliciously sweet. I guess there is also some flower noteadded to the composition. And you know what, i know what this scent reminds me of: "Deci-dela" by Nina Ricci, BUT only in pure perfume concentration, since EDT is very different. I do detect similar notes of berries in the opening of "Deci-dela", actually i receieved them both today and that ́s why i can smell them side by side. Not identical, no, but something similar. After a while sour notes here become faded and it turns into more sirupy sweet-flowery smell with sour notes resembling as an echo. Still smells amazing, but i am totally in love with the opening. It is THE best part of it. I don ́t know if there is a spray version also available, but applying splash from this bottle is not an easy thing and quite complicated. That is the con. My verdict: very nice and yummy. Unique, yes, i am not afraid to use this termin towards this perfume. I am really glad i have it now. Thanks again Yves Rocher! As much as i have tried YR fragrances by far i haven ́t been dissapointed (some few modern exceptions) UPDATE: this scent is so amazing that when i thought that it has faded away after a short time upon application it came back and now conitnues to play on a sweet-sour contrast, vibrate and amaze me. Absolute winner!!!

First time I encountered this perfume was 1995, a year after its release. I liked it a lot and used the whole bottle in a couple of years (then I obvioisly didn't have such a massive collection of fumes as I have today). I used it as an every day pick me up, I didn't consider it to be my Special occasion-perfume. After I finished my bottle I found some ten years later this perfume for a song in flea market. I didn't really use it, until last week I decided to wear it as my fragrance for a working day. I was curious how I feel about it today. And boy, was I pleasantly surprised! This is bottled joy! So unique! Very high quality. Oh I miss 90'ies so badly. At that time there were so many unique perfumes unlike today. You know what I mean.. There is not much info to be found about this scent, but this is very complex, I can smell berries, fruits and much more. Oh I love this. It also brings me back to those years I wore it. So many good memories. I will use this more often from now on, and will certainly hunt for another bottle. I don't want to live without this gem.

I could kill to smell that one just once more ... BTW i think it was launched in 1994 . At that time i was in grade 8 , one classmate of mine was wearing it , and every morning i couldn't wait to kiss her hello (we do so in my country :-P ) only to smell her scent (you can call me crazy , i don't mind, hehe), it is SO amazing , smells berries, obviously , but it was not too sweet (which is often a problem with the fruity perfumes), there probably was Aldehydes in that, because it smelled very clean and pure. one year later my granma ordered from Yves Rocher for me , together with the Vanille (also from Cap Nature) Yves Rocher (i say so because don't know the nose behinf this) was truly inspired !

The Cap nature range is really mysterious to me... I am not really fond of the whole bottle concept, but the liquids inside are unbelievable!! They all hide EXTREMELY full and polished perfumes inside... I would LOVE LOVE to know the nose(s) that created the Cap nature fragrance line..

Ooo I really used to love this one. Such a shame they stopped it. Definately one of my favorite of the ranges. Cute bottle too, shame though it was a dab on rather than a spray...espcially for the clumsy like me. The scent used to last for hours from what I remember. Very fruity, yummy
