In a rose garden...
I found a bottle from the 1960s. It is the EDT with fluorocarbon gas that was banned in the 1970s. It doesn't hurt the fragrance at all. It adds an aldehyde kick to the opening. Capricci is a lost classic that deserves some attention, so I gave it some.

This is truly a fairy rose garden that whispers romance. It was created by Francis Fabron, the nose of L'air de Temps. They are both perfect for summer and last the entire day. L'air de Temps focuses on carnation, Capricci is rose. Not the sweet, sugary offerings of today, yet real garden flowers the will attract bees if you are in the garden on a hot afternoon.

The composition is so delicate and well crafted that it is hard to pick it apart the notes. I get iris and oakmoss among the roses. If there is tuberose here its so well blended, like Chanel #22.

It is the perfume of royals. Particularly the fairy queen and her court. Imagine a midsummer nights dream...

The female counterpart to "The Dreamer" by Versace
What a treasure I have found in my sprawling miniatures collection! The "Capricci | Nina Ricci" is just beautiful and almost perfect. It took me a while to realize what this fragrance DNA reminds me of. These fabric softener and "clean woman" scents remind me of a feminized and much more powdery as well as floral version of The Dreamer Eau de Toilette. In addition, the durability is super with about 8-10 hours on my skin. The sillage also knows how to convince.

The top note creates a great combination of citrusy bergamot and powdery florality. The heart note offers a beautiful floral bouquet, which is not too green or even intrusive earthy comes along. No, here I have to think of a beautiful soap with floral aromas. This combination of gardenias, tuberose, hyacinths, jasmine blossoms, lily of the valley, ylang ylang as well as daffodils is just wonderful. In the base, sandalwood provides a velvety, balsamic and sweet note. Some vanilla benzoin, musk and vetiver round off the whole perfectly. Only after a few hours erases an earthy touch of moss the icing on the "i".

I am almost blown away. What a brilliant, powdery as well as floral fragrance for women! My miniature I will guard like a treasure!
