Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella Caprifoglio (Honeysuckle) is a Cologne launched in 1997. Caprifoglio (Honeysuckle) opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Jasmine, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Magnolia, Honeysuckle, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss and Benzoin. Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella's Caprifoglio (Honeysuckle) carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper summer throwback. Expect less photorealistic honeysuckle and more 'classic sunscreen at a poolside party' vibe. It's divisive - some find it heavenly nostalgic, others just get soap or even a hint of something unpleasant. Try before you buy.

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:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with a fresh, somewhat soapy character and mentions of being a 'summer daytime scent' and 'by the beach', make it ideal for casual wear. It's a bit too relaxed for formal settings but could work for an outdoor date.

About

Opens with a zesty burst of bergamot, lemon, and orange, quickly joined by jasmine for a bright, energetic start. As it settles, a sun-drenched heart emerges with sweet honeysuckle, creamy magnolia, and a touch of golden honey, evoking lazy afternoons. The base rounds out with earthy oakmoss and warm benzoin, giving it a comforting, slightly vintage depth. It's a complex floral journey, less a direct honeysuckle soliflore and more a sun-drenched floral tapestry.
