Crema di Capri
Note
Composed by Céline Barel
The Capri sun bleaches the stone, the music from the beach club arrives muffled, and the afternoon stretches out without a plan. CASA FAR NIENTE Crema di Capri takes that image, but gives it more cream than cologne freshness.
The heart of lime and coconut opens the fragrance with a contrast of acidity and richness. Lime briefly tightens the composition, while coconut immediately spreads across the skin in a smooth, thick layer.
Ylang-ylang and jasmine give the coconut a floral warmth. They don't feel airy or green, but rather enhance the sensation of sun-warmed skin and a lingering creamy texture.
Vanilla pod and cashmeran gradually quiet the citrus. The finish is powdery, soft, and distinctly sweet, especially in intense heat, but the woody texture of cashmeran keeps it from being completely dessert-like.
Céline Barel formulated Crema di Capri as an Extrait de Parfum with 25% fragrance oils, in a 100 ml bottle. Choose it if you want a dense, creamy summer with coconut and vanilla; skip it if heat amplifies sweet perfumes beyond your comfort level. Capri is here under your fingertips, not on a postcard.
