Jeanne Arthes Capricieuse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Capricieuse opens with Grapefruit, Lily of the Valley, Blackcurrant, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Jeanne Arthes's Capricieuse carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive gourmand that swings between delightful sweetness and an artificial edge. Many find it a surprisingly good, affordable dupe for YSL Manifesto, but some detect a 'grandma' vibe or even a 'rotting bouquet'.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its sweet gourmand profile, make it better suited for casual daytime wear or dates rather than formal events or the office. Some users find it cloying, which could be an issue in close-quarters settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Capricieuse opens with a lively burst of pineapple and grapefruit, sweetened by a hint of blackcurrant, which quickly transitions into a heart of delicate orange blossom and jasmine. The real star of the show is the warm, indulgent dry-down, a rich blend of praline, caramel, and vanilla, underpinned by creamy sandalwood and a subtle touch of cedar.
