CreamyWhat does Il Capriccio del Maestro smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and night out lead the occasions. It is unisex, though more votes lean masculine.
It opens with cinnamon, rum and spicy notes, softened by orchid. The heart turns sweeter with tobacco, honey and tonka bean, and the base settles into a creamy, woody ground of vanilla, labdanum and patchouli. Soma Parfums Halcyon and Parfums de Marly Oajan have a close profile.
