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

Hi Bhean, actually the cap nature range are quite complex foody or gourmand perfumes. But YR always used to keep the notes of their perfumes unknown, that's way there is only one note here. It's the only note we know for sure..

I bought a full size bottle of this blind and it just does not work well with my chemistry at all. It is too cloying on me. Being that it is extremely hard to find, I am willing to sell it/make a trade to any of you girls who are on the hunt for this. Just contact me.
