Citrus air freshner in a perfume bottle
Capri Summer is off to a wrong start as, when the scent hits my nose, I'm immediately reminded of air freshner (?!). The citruses (which are usually one of my favorite family of notes) smell wrong, generic and almost synthetic. I don't get a tangy bergamot, blood orange is way too subdued and grapefruit smells powdery, and grainy (almost like a pear). Those three combined gave me citrus air freshner (I have a brand and a name in mind, but will be sparing you the details). Unfortunately, it never really get any better after that. The flowers start to emit a fresh accord which only further enhances the air freshner vibe. Lily of the valley and neroli also give off a soapy vibe, but it's not really well-balanced. Roses are not my kind: old and powdery. Towards the end, there's a woodiness that comes out which I thought didn't really fit the theme of the perfume. It dries down to a vague, generic floral and woody scent.
I'm a little bit disappointed in this one as I thought it'd be pleasant based on the notes. It's just way too generic and synthetic to my nose. There are better citruses out there (some are in my collection, ehehe), which is why I'll completely be skipping on this one. On to the next one!
