Fiori di Capri by Carthusia

My husband loves this scent on me. We tried on all the various scents while visiting Capri. As a natural perfumery fan, this does smell a bit more chemically than the original. It does a beautiful reaction with my personal chemistry.

Carthusia's FIORI DI CAPRI is a bright, somewhat sharp and slightly green bouquet of primarily white flowers (lily of the valley) bathing in a vase of amber-saturated wood. The opening is unabashedly floral, and I have to agree with another reviewer that, although FIORI is claimed to be unisex, it would be very challenging indeed for most men to wear such a fragrance.

I bought the 2oz edt as a souvenir when I visited the isle, so it's all bound up with memories of the bright blue sea and sky. Today, on a late afternoon filled with frozen rain, FIORI di CAPRI is somehow reminding me of the film PLEIN SOLEIL (Purple Noon), perhaps the most sizzling thriller ever to be set under the blinding mediterranean sun. (The Hollywood attempt at a remake [THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY], as usual, does no justice to the original!)

There is definitely something daring about this scent, something brash and unapologetic. Something beautiful but at the same time edgy...

Fiori di Capri
Charmingly tender chypre floral. Not loud and may be transparent. Field carnations and forest lilies of the valley. Ilang and sambak. An ambery-sandal base sounds cleanly and coolly. Elegant and tender simplicity.Fragrance for own pleasure. Like a tender silk of elegant pyjamas.

Beautiful flowers. This is a strong, intoxicating scent. It's a cross between a regal, elegant, distinguished woman and a vacation in the South of France. Lovely. But I don't forsee men wearing this. Personally, I think it's too feminine.
