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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with a clean, delicate floral character, make it highly suitable for office and casual daytime wear. While elegant, its gentle nature might be slightly overshadowed in a very formal evening setting, though many find it perfect for a romantic date.

About

Capricci opens with a bright, crisp bergamot, quickly softening into an ethereal floral heart. Hyacinth and rose provide a watercolour lightness, while iris lends a powdery, almost sweet violet nuance. As it settles, a sophisticated base of oakmoss, vetiver, and sandalwood emerges, grounding the delicate blooms with a subtle, earthy warmth and a hint of clean musk.
