Arancia di Capri Eau de Toilette, created by Acqua Di Parma in 1999, opens on orange, mandarin and lemon, three tangy citruses. Petitgrain and cardamom, both fresh, hold the heart, while caramel and musk, both warm, occupy the base.
Orange, tangy and sweet, mandarin, tangy and sparkling, and lemon, tangy, occupy the top: acidity runs through the three citruses, from the sugar of orange to the sparkle of mandarin.
Petitgrain, fresh and green, sits alongside cardamom, spicy and fresh, in the heart: freshness is their only common ground, greenness remaining specific to petitgrain.
Caramel, warm and sweetly burnt, and musk, warm and woody, share the base; warmth brings them together, while wood remains a facet specific to musk.
