What does Capucine smell like?

It opens with bergamot, neroli, lemon and juniper berry for a bright citrus feel, while galbanum and sage add a green, slightly spicy edge. In the heart, nasturtium, rose, jasmine and lily of the valley soften it into something floral. Ambroxan and musk dry it down onto a woody, powdery base.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and reads as a quiet scent. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. A feminine character dominates. Penhaligon's Lily of the Valley and Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza have a close profile.
