Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The first spray is a burst of spicy citrus. Bergamot and lemon sparkle like sunlight on water, while cardamom and ginger add a peppery, almost effervescent heat. It is immediately attention-grabbing but not overwhelming. The freshness is sharp and clean, with a slight green edge from the ginger. Within ten minutes, the citrus begins to soften, and the lavender starts to peek through. The transition is seamless, like a sunrise giving way to a clear morning.
At the one-hour mark, the fragrance is in its aromatic heart. Lavender dominates, supported by geranium and mint. The scent feels cool, herbal, and incredibly refined. There is a barbershop quality here, but it is modern and unisex. The spices from the top notes are still present, but they have mellowed into a warm, spicy hum. This is the stage where Caprice is most versatile—perfect for the office, a lunch date, or a casual stroll.
After four hours, the base notes take center stage. Amber provides a soft, resinous sweetness, while cedarwood and vetiver add a dry, woody texture. Patchouli is noticeable but restrained, giving the composition a subtle earthiness. The overall effect is warm, comforting, and slightly smoky. It sits close to the skin, radiating a gentle aura that lasts well into the evening. By the eight-hour mark, the scent is a skin-close whisper of amber and woods, still detectable but intimate.
