L'Eau du Caporal
8.1L'Artisan Parfumeur · 1985
Fresh · Citrus · Floral
L'Artisan Parfumeur L'Eau du Caporal is a fresh, citrus-led masculine scent that suits spring and summer days, work and everyday wear; it has been discontinued.
It opens with lemon and tangerine, and geranium and lavender make up the heart. In the base, vetiver, cedar, patchouli and oakmoss give it a woody, green footing. The overall impression is fresh, floral and lightly spicy, with a clear fougère character.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall not far behind. Daily, business and leisure wear lead the occasions. Most see it as masculine and classic. Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche pour Homme (2011) and Chanel Platinum Égoïste (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
