What does Caprissimo (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with Calabrian bergamot and red mandarin orange, while gardenia, lilac and damask rose build the floral side. In the heart, green leaves, clove, Florentine iris and tuberose come in; the base settles into sandalwood, white musk and patchouli, which make it woody and powdery.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. More voters call it feminine, though a good share read it as masculine. Guerlain Chant d'Arômes and Estēe Lauder White Linen have a close profile.
