Description
Island Capri is a floral – woody – musk fragrance for women launched in 2008 as a limited edition. It was inspired by sea shores, Capri and enchanting Isola Azura. This island is an Italian jet-set destination, settled in Napoli bay, so this Kors’ perfume represents a jet-set feeling and ultimate vacation in a bottle. The composition greets you with bitter orange, bergamot, basil and cypress. Middle notes bring a wave of rose petals, Parma violet, jasmine and fig tree. Base notes introduce accords of olive tree and light oakmoss, along with leather notes. The bottle is a real work of art, colored in mediterranean blue. It is available as 50 ml edp.

I was expecting some sort of variation on the typical tropical Michael Kors offerings, but this one really surprised me. It’s tropical, but in a green, woody, herbal, slightly aquatic sort of way and I would consider it unisex. It’s fairly light and refreshing, but not anything overly unique.

@klrussell, you just listed the notes for the original ISLAND. As you can see, this is CAPRI ISLAND, a completely different set of notes. AKA, a “flanker”.
If I can figure out how to edit this, I will come back with an actual review. I am not prepared at this moment in time 😉

Did this get revamped or something? Michael Kors website shows completely different notes:
• Dewy, sparkling top notes of Chinese kiwi, honeysuckle, and parrot tulip.
• Lush, vibrant heart notes of champaca flowers, gingerlilies, Bulgarian rose, and stephanotis.
• Woody, smooth base notes of white bark accord, driftwood, and rice fields accord.
I am so confused…

A hot lazy day on a sandy beach in the Mediterranean . More green than floral. Drydown is a little woody/herbal. No suntan oil or much tropical garden smell (ie. no coconut or white flowers). This is more a natural beach than a hotel beach kind of smell. Nice, but I think I would reach for other summery scents more often. Also, could be stronger and last longer.

I find this fragrance a very fresh and nice summer scent. Feels like sea breeze on my skin but disapeard in half an hour.
I wish it had more staying power since it has great appeal…

I like this fragrance. It’s light and breezy and fresh – with a nice little kick of zest to it. A very nice casual or summer day at the beach wear. Not memorablable enough for the price though but overall is okay.

Fresh, reminds me of summer! As usual, the bottle is nice

just bought this and i have to say its my favorite of the islands. i love the basil and the bitter orange in the top notes. it gives it a nice kick right in the beginning. fiji and hawaii are great but capri tops them greatly. its the perfect sparkling summer scent and i just adore it. the bottle is as stunning as the fragrance. nice job michael.
