what a miniature contains
Roberto Capucci: My cramped memory told me this was an Italian fashion designer who returned to Italy after successful years in Paris.
Or was I confusing him with Emilio Pucci?
Oh, those Italians! But my memory really was right: Roberto Capucci opened an atelier on Rue Cambon in Paris in 1961; Coco Chanel's salon is still there today.
in 1968, he returned to Rome, where he still plays a leading role in the world of Alta Moda at the age of 94.
As we all know, the cat never stops mousing!
And of course, his name is not missing in the world of fragrances: he has been involved since the sixties; only his fragrance creations passed me by before dear Theresa discovered them for us and I too am spoiled by these compositions.
"Parce Que!", a pleasantly floral green fragrance from 1961, reminiscent of morning walks, with a fine touch of soap, delighted me, but was a little too green for me.
Well, you can't say that about "Capucci de Capucci".
Of course, it is a perfume and correspondingly full-bodied, but a spicy, floral chypre fragrance is closer to my nature as a former "flower lady".
Here too, reading the fragrance pyramid, you could say: "I know this one!", but you forget that it's not just the fragrance notes, but also their arrangement and dosage that make up a fragrance.
"Capucci de Capucci" is a classic, three-movement Italian opus in a beautiful miniature flacon, the contents of which settle fragrantly on my skin and gradually spread their golden magic.
Bergamots, lemons and ripe, velvety-skinned peaches cavort in a spicy green that likes to adorn itself with their aromas and is spiced up with contemporary aldehydes.
If fragrance notes were colors, what a pretty summery still life would be created here.
The bouquet of blossoms reflects the diversity of a summer garden or we are transported to Grasse, where all these fragrant beauties can be found in vast fields to inspire perfumers.
The fields of fragrant roses have now reclaimed the land, and at the time this creation was developed, they were certainly even more magnificent.
The "queen of flowers" forms the heart, the centerpiece in exuberant white floral aromas.
Without tuberose, jasmine and Christian Dior's favorite, lily of the valley, nothing would have worked back then and even today the fragrance world would be very sober without these three and their fragrances.
(Which is probably why Roja Dove is always drawn there.)
The enchanting garden carnations, usually a pink lace skirt with a spicy aroma, are currently celebrating a renaissance again; I had already missed it in many of the newer creations.
A little pink lace adorns many a garment, even if it is made of carnation fragrance.
Ylang ylang's light yellow honey blossom tendrils make us smile, even if they are not the most elegant of flower ladies: They are often indispensable in their cheerfulness!
They are always beautiful, even here in this opulent fragrance creation and its golden droplets.
Leather and civet, oakmoss, vetiver and patchouli: What a final fragrance sound is revealed as an animalic, earthy base and a woody-spicy veil of smoke, woven from the aromas of cedar wood and amber, lies pleasingly over this entire, very elegant composition.
Oh, those were the days when these magnificent and full-bodied creations still accompanied us day after day; nobody spoke of purism back then! We beamed and shone with the colorful fashion as if the "red carpet" was everywhere!
If I had known "Capucci de Capucci" back then: We both would have boarded it with the "natural ease of the best years"!
But yes, we would have!
