'With a Sharp Eye, According to Connoisseurs...'

Pour Monsieur Eau de Toilette, Eau Sauvage Eau de Toilette, Eau du Sud, Aéroplane and many others, they all fit into the same category as Capucci pour Homme - that of classic men's chypres.
While the French come across as finely textured and distinguished, the Italian is, however, more down-to-earth. This is largely due to its spice component, which gives it a bit of edge: between the typical citrus opening and the green moss base, there is a note of pepper along with some herbs and flowers, which is why I see it more as a men's fragrance in direct comparison.

In this category, I feel completely at ease, and naturally, I also find Capucci pour Homme exceptionally good, as it is a solid and above all affordable representative.
So here, for the first time, I am giving a rating in the 'Price-Performance Ratio' category. I admit I find this category somewhat challenging, as its component 'Performance' is always strongly influenced by personal taste in my eyes.
However, Capucci pour Homme is certainly one of the best perfumes you can buy for under €15 - in times when almost everyone seems to feel the need to jump on a 'luxury' train characterized only by high prices, I find that incredible.

A lovely recommendation. I really like Pour Monsieur.
It doesn't always have to be extravagant.

Oh yes, very accurately described.
And that's why it's one of the few fragrances where I usually have EdT, aftershave, and deodorant stocked up at the same time :-)).

Although it's a bit too oakmossy for my taste in the base to rank among my favorites, I appreciate its unpretentious nature: No frills, no aura of apparent exclusivity, just a solid and honest men's fragrance, and in that sense, it's great! 👍

Unfortunately, it's an endangered species - so it's even more beautiful that it still exists.

Definitely one of the little gems in the drawer, and that's exactly what makes it special in my opinion. In Italy, it's probably one of the most popular men's fragrances - no wonder Italians are known for their sense of style!

A wonderful classic that definitely fits into modern times!
I love my Capucci.
Also recommended as an aftershave splash to generously splash on your face in the morning.

I’d be interested to know if it still smells like the vintage version…

Unfortunately, I don't have a comparison. But it's probably unlikely, as certain ingredients have been regulated since its release in 1967.

It definitely smells quite vintage.
