By the editors · 2 min readCapricho opens with a minty freshness over bergamot, the two notes giving an initially airy, almost herbal impression before the heart pulls things inward. Tonka bean and almond introduce warmth and nuttiness, while jasmine and freesia add a delicate floral counterpoint that prevents the composition from reading as purely gourmand.
The dry-down is a textbook late-nineties Oriental — sandalwood, amber, and vanilla wrapped around cedar and musk, the kind of finish that wears close to the skin and lingers pleasantly for hours. Comfortable and familiar, with just enough brightness at the open to stay approachable across the day. A legacy O Boticário release that set the template for many of the house's later feminine frags.
