What does Io Capri (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with lemon, eucalyptus and corn mint, then softens into fig, jasmine and tea at the heart. Tobacco flower and seagrass settle at the base. The fresh, citrus and green sides dominate, while floral and fruity touches add a little sweetness in the background.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards daily and leisure wear, with room for the office too. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits right in between. Carthusia Mediterraneo and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Anisia Bella have a close profile.
