Eau de Fleurs Capucine Chloe for women

A wonderful and classy scent with herbal and green rea notes. Smells natural throughout all the stages of this perfume, which makes me doubt any comparisons with Sisley freen scents - they smelled downright artificial in the drydown.
My Capucine starts with bergamot, sage and yummy green tea. Then green tea steeps and becomes stronger, with a touch of juniper berries. Out the notes of the pyramid that's all I get - no flowers at all - nicht, nada. Oh, and the most pronounced note of green tea is not indicated somehow…
This a beautiful well-balanced green and herbal scent that somehow makes me think of Yoga. Capucin has the same tranquility and closeness to nature as I associate with Yoga.
I'm very relieved that Louise Turner had decided to create a green scent without the watery aquatic notes, that are falsely tied with freshness and greenness. So what we have is a very wearable naturalistic green scent that is perfect for daytime in spring and summer. I sprayed my wrist once at 3 pm, and at 10 pm I have faint grassy drydown, but a couple of hours ago the scent was still noticeable when I waived the hand gesturing.

This one is very easy to love and wear, it's undemanding, but has character. A keeper.

Urban park in a bottle!!!

This scent is very fresh, light and smells better and better with time. It reminds me of urban parks for some reason.

Impressions:
Initial spritz - this smells like lime scented mosquito repellant
1 min - wow this smells like mosquito repellant mixed with freshly cut grass
5 min- still grassy and limey
20 min - good the harsh mosquito repellant note has begun to die down, the most prominent notes are green tea and lime
2 hrs later - this scent has really softened....it smells fresh, balmy, soft and feminine, and warm, the harsh green tea and lime tones have disappeared
11 hrs later - very soft, barely there, still fresh, slightly creamy and feminine
12 hrs later - what is left is creamy, soft and slightly floral...no musk on me yeah!!!

My skin type: oily / youthful
Projection: sits close to the skin
Longevity: 12 hrs
Office safe: Yes
Timing: spring & summer / anytime of the day
Price: $56 (red tag sale) for 100 ml / 3.38 oz at Winners/ TJ Maxx

Disclamer: my experience may be different from your experience based on my skin type, the season, and my personal tastes

I have been craving a nice green floral for spring and summer, to wear with long skirts and flowing blouses, bohemian styles. A few of the older classic of that genre (Vent vert, Diorella, Cristalle, etc) smell quite "dated" on me and I cannot pull them off, although I love them on others. So Chloe Capucine came as a perfect solution for me. It is green, floral, slighlty balmy, refreshing and natural smelling. No oakmoss or hyacinth in this one, which makes me happy. It has a soft herbal tone to it that makes me love it!!

A good longevity on me and a soft, close to the skin sillage (in January anyway). A few of you think this is unisex or masculine, but I personally find it very feminine!! But feminine from a different era, a different place... more European, not goumand/sweet or heavy floral like the usual "feminine" perfumes. One of the best green florals to come out on the mainstream markets these past few years, up there with the new Sisley eaux and Hermes Jardin collection.

I sampled this today and I found it very cold and metallic. It is not green in the manner in which I am used to (fresh, kind of zippy). I do not dislike it, but I do not like it enough to purchase it. Beautiful bottle - feels very niche.

What an odd creation Chloé EAU DE FLEURS CAPUCINE is! I was expecting something altogether different based on the reviews I had read. To my surprise, this perfume opens very similarly to EAU DE CARTIER. I am baffled, actually, as to how there could be no violet leaf listed among the notes!

Once I regained my balance from the blast of what I took to be violet leaf, I began slowly to notice other key components of this creation. First, neroli, then lily of the valley. After a few minutes and a real effort to identify what precisely it was that I was smelling, it dawned on me: the synthetic base of CAPUCINE smells very similar to Thierry Mugler MUGLER COLOGNE. It's got to be the laundry musk which ties them together, or peraps the synthetic ambroxan is helping, too. The proverbial "green notes" and neroli are probably not hurting the association either. Anyway, the last thing that I would call this composition is natural smelling, because the base is completely synthetic--and that is how it smells to me!

I do detect a fairly heavy dose of pepper (or reasonable facsimile) in this composition as well--also not listed among the notes. All in all, when all is said and sniffed, I must own that this is not a boring fragrance, although I cannot say that it is my favorite anything (floral green, LOTV, etc....). It certainly is the only perfume which reminds me as vividly in the opening of EAU DE CARTIER as it reminds me in the drydown of MUGLER COLOGNE. The color matches that of extra virgin olive oil.

In a word: weird.

Blind bought this... VEEEEERY green and natual ... unique smell, like green pepper... can't detect any floral... linear and very soft dry down (hardly noticeable)... weak lasting power... beautiful and elegant bottle... overpriced

OMG, is this one obselete from the market? I have been using this for some time, now i can't find an equipvalent. Louis Turner, please help me!

the best floral green i've come across in a long time.
this is luxury in green liquid.
green tea (although its not listed) and fresh buds of orange blossom.
a cool drink for a hot day.

Very green opening. Contrary to melancholybab, I don't think that it fades quickly. It stays prevailingly green for quite a while until the floral notes softly take lead. After a few hours, I can smell a nettle. Perhaps there's pepper in it? This perfume has indeed some unisex potential.

It's one of the softest feminine perfumes; blossomy and fresh, with aromatic herbal bold notes.
It's a linear perfume, springy, casual and happy. Seems you have two white wings, out of all sing, with a gold worn in your hand and a gold ring above your head!

longevity 8/10
sillage 8/10
scent 7/10

I thought I liked it but then test-sprayed it (by now I usually do that always before I buy/especially with the expensive ones). While the opening is nice and floral, the drydown on me was so very green that I didn't think about purchasing it anymore.

I have to agree with Jae. This is indeed one of the nicer, more pleasurable green florals on the market today.

Eau de Fleurs Capucine is a green scent without the harsh watery and grassy accords. This fragrance opens simply with zesty bergamot and lemon, and an added hint of orange blossom, jasmine and lily of the valley. This fragrance is quite soft, hence the reason why it smells quite natural and pretty on the skin.

Towards the heart, this fragrance revels in revealing delicate and clean floral nuances, that are thankfully not too soapy nor too powdery. There's also a subtle touch of herbaceousness throughout this composition which gives this fragrance character.

It does have a slightly masculine feel, however that doesn't put me off the scent entirely. Eau de Fleurs Capucine reminds me of sunshowers and shy romances. It's pleasantly mellow and somewhat imaginative.

The sillage is intimate and very discreet. It brings me to conclude that this fragrance is very lady-like and reserved. I like it that way. I sometimes wonder why Chloe decided to make these fragrances limited editions which are relatively difficult to find. I much prefer the Eau de Fleurs series over and above the new Chloe and Chloe Love.

Wow... What a floral green this is!!! I LOVE it! The bonus is that this is totally unisex on my skin. I could name countless popular green fragrances that I prefer this one over, even Chanel No.19. This is one of THE best green perfumes I've ever had the pleasure of owning. The longevity is amazing and the sillage is excellent. It's so fresh, floral and green all at once. Of all gender-benders, this is one of my favorites. My Un Jardin Sur Le Nil finally has a green perfume worthy of standing next to it in my collection.

The splendid scent on the summer , the spring and sad days.
I chose him from among remaining of two sisters : Lavende , Neroli.It not was easily. But in this scent I have all : a little herbs , beautiful Neroli, the Galbanum. Not meeting well lies on my skin. I plan the purchase this in spring. I instruct trying all these of 3 scents. There are very original and elegant. I already chose : my Capucine :)
Bottle are very beautiful.

Lovely crisp green opening, which very quickly fades into a non-descript vague sweetness. Glad I tried before I bought! Definitely not an interesting scent.

as with Neroli, i am disappointed with this one too... again, it started lovely green with characters, but then the dry down was flat and so-so floral...

ochen' miliy zapah, no deistvitel'no bol'she mujskoi chem jenskiy..... i nikakoi nasturzii ne obnarujila...

These are definitely interesting creations - however, too masculine smelling for ladies who prefer to smell like, well, ladies. Especially the Capucine one. In fact, when I mentioned this to the sales laday in the department store where I was tasting the new Chloe scents, she said she had a few men come in and purchase these for themselves. I understand, if I were a young stylish man I'd buy it. But I'm a woman and I'll look for more fiminine scents, thanks!

these perfumes are intoxiaatingly good there on sale in the uk in harrods!!! though it is hard to choose just 1!!
