Pros & Cons
- ✅ I'm six or seven years old. My stunningly beautiful and young mother is ironing some clothes on a cold winter afternoon. She's using some new, groundbreaking ironing spray, whose great 'innovation' is having a handle attached to its can. The windows become slowly steamy and our small kitchen is filled with an almost magical scent of warm and cuddly cleanliness. I raise my head from my toy soldiers and, nearly ecstatic, I sniff the air. My mother looks at me and smiles. 'Smells good, huh kiddo?'. For the next couple of ironings I wouldn't omit to spray some of this comforting elixir on me every time my mother would leave the room, so as to experience a little more of its magic, and my very first encounters with terms like sillage and longevity. Until I was caught red handed, and the can was put way out of my reach. In what feels like a thousand years ago, my petite, delicate mother used to live in the realms of Fidji, J'ai Ose and Tamango. But all these huge scents aside, a cheap ironing spray is the scent that reminds me of her the most. The scent of an ordinary family moment on a cold winter afternoon, some forty years ago. And this is exactly the reason that makes it so unique, beloved and unforgettable...
- ✅ So, what's left to say about this mesmerizing and totally magical potion? Honestly, Capriccio is one of those scents that makes me think of sweet and joyful memories and just good vibes.. This stuff is heavenly! I would say again, if there's a scent that the angels would wear, this is it!
- ✅ I understand this has been sadly discontinued. It is very nice: opens with the bright nerolis and within 30 minutes gets into a very clean musky base. I do not detect any oud accord but gets a mild hint of patchouli. It is perfectly unisex and not offensive at all. Allrounder/versatile. I would give it 8/10

- ❌ I don't remember how the top note was, but the base note is clean wiped ceramic floor! it's like the medical washing soap (mostly detol) and a shiny ceramic after wash! Quite weird and honestly i don't want to smell like a cleaning soap or a washed floor!
- ❌ Capriccio has not blown me away. The initial blast is too tart, too green and too intense for my taste - on my skin the bergamot and neroli came out immediately. Sweet and spicy cinnamon and cumarin, a mix of vanilla, hay and greenery, join the intense top notes within moments. While the fragrance dries down I notice patchouli and agarwood (not a fan) becoming stronger before they are replacing the green and spicy notes. The patchouli accord is the same as in Wardasina, but apart from this these two fragrances have nothing in common. I was hoping for some nice white flowers, but on my skin Capriccio is 'just' something I would describe as tart-hesperide-spicy-earthy-woody. Still, I am glad that the drydown is much better than the harsh opening. The sillage is average but Capriccio lasts for 12+ hours on my skin. I am sure the fragrance is great on the right person, but that person is definitely not me, I am afraid.

- ❌ It's somewhat bitter (cranberries ?) white florals that evolves into something different but I couldn't identify what... it goes into some weird bitter, juniper-like land that I do not entirely enjoy.
