With Love from Capri

With Love from Capri is the newest addition to Jo Loves' travel-inspired 'With Love From' range, joining Como, Positano and London. The brief is an Italian escape from sunrise to sunset - bright, radiant and uplifting, unfolding in layers across the day. It opens on a juicy, sunlit citrus accord: bergamot, lemon and bitter orange, the kind of bright Mediterranean lift that instantly reads as a warm-weather holiday. Wearers describe it as orange-blossom-forward even though the formal note list leans on orange leaves rather than the blossom itself - the effect is the same radiant, sun-warmed citrus. The heart adds dimension without weight: green orange leaves, a soft warm stroke of ginger and a touch of magnolia keep it from being a flat cologne. It is fresh and aromatic rather than sharp, with a gentle spiced warmth threading through. The base is where it earns its luxury register - patchouli and ambergris give a soft, clean, slightly soapy drydown that feels more refined and skin-warm than the brisk citrus finish of a classic cologne. One reviewer framed it well as a golden-hour, end-of-the-Mediterranean-day take rather than a bracing morning splash. The trade-off, shared with the rest of the range, is performance: it is light, with soft projection and a few hours of wear before it needs reapplying. Wearers say it is lovely enough that they do not mind. It is unisex, firmly a summer and late-spring scent, and best for daytime, holidays and warm-weather casual or office wear where its low projection is an asset.
