Cool thing ! A kind of Aventus you haven't smelled yet
Capriccio is a really great fragrance that I think is wearable all year round.
You might expect a fresh, citrusy, fruity fragrance and yes, we have that here too.
But there is also this saffron twist, which is a great counterpart and thus brings the fragrance perfectly into all seasons.

The fragrance starts off citrusy, fruity and fresh.
There are also clear hints of Aventus here.
Now many people might be put off and think: "Oh no, not another Aventus copy" Believe me friends, I can totally understand that But give the fragrance a chance.
Firstly, it's fruitier and sweeter, without any smoky notes, and it also takes on a certain twist over time, which I'll go into in more detail in a moment.

After the opening has settled a little, the saffron comes in.
The saffron harmonizes perfectly with the impressions from the top note.
In the list of similar fragrances, Baccarat Rouge was partly suggested here and yes, I can understand the approach.
Baccarat Rouge haters or skeptics, please don't be averse, it fits really well here. First of all, the saffron is much softer, not quite as intense and it's also just a twist on the fresh, citrusy, fruity vibes. It works really well and harmonizes.

There is also Electimuss Imperium, for example. This fragrance also plays off two scents, so to speak. It takes something from Creed Aventus and something from Nishane Ani. It may sound strange, but it worked and was well received.
It was more or less a hybrid of these two fragrances and it was successful.
For me, Capriccio is not quite as 50/50 as Imperium, but it still manages to create a small connection between the worlds of Aventus and Baccarat Rouge, and that also works well.
It's definitely successful in my opinion.

Towards the end, it goes a little more in the normal Aventus direction again. The fragrance lands on a pleasant oakmoss base with some musk.

Is the fragrance wearable unisex?
Definitely! I definitely see the normal Aventus more on men, but the Capriccio with the fruity Aventus hints I clearly see on both sexes.

The performance is really good on my skin. The fragrance lasts for about eight hours, but after the saffron phase slowly becomes milder, it becomes much closer to the skin.

All in all, a fragrance that you should give a chance.
Incidentally, you should give every fragrance a chance. :)
