Description
“A perfume inspired by jasmine that evokes, like a spell, the magic of an island unique to the world. Delicate, sweet and fruity notes merge together in a fragrance that is both fresh and persistent at the same time.
In this perfume the essences of the Mediterranean play a primary role.
Bergamot, lemon and Yellow mandarin are the fragrances that stimulate the senses: reminiscent of sun-kissed gardens and citrus groves that climb over the land overlooking the sea.
The heart is a blend of Jasmine grandiflorum absolute and Italian ginestra harmonized with Orange blossom, amber and cashmere wood.
Gelsomini di Capri (Jasmine of Capri) is a fragrance that captures the senses with its delicacy. Returning to a sensual taste, typical of an island encircled by the Mediterranean.” – a note from the brand.
The fragrance is available in 50 and 100ml Eau de Perfume as well as Perfume edition.
Gelsomini di Capri 2017 was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Luca Maffei.

This is very interesting and unique. The orange blossom and the jasmine blend nicely. It is very summer. There’s something almost food-like about it, perhaps that’s the ginger and vanilla. It makes you think about bicycling through Italy in the summer.
There’s a strange bubblegum accord in here.
This has amazing longevity. 12+ hours for me.

This is a lovely scent for early spring but enjoyable also in summer. Its intense jasmine opening immediately projects you into a sunny garden with jasmine flowers blooming all around.
There’s a nice balance between the sweet of the jasmine and the bitter of bergamot that I find very beautiful.
The middle phase is less strong: orange flowers and ginger enter the stage and start a beautiful duet with the jasmine.
This is not a jasmine soliflore scent and even those who are intimidated by the strong power of jasmine here may find a beautiful scent where the white flowers are not so overpowering.
Gelsomini di Capri is elegant but not too formal; the ginger, paired with tangerine and just a hint of pepper, conveys a witty touch and gives a new dimension to the composition: sweet and spicy, thoughtful but merry.
It’s like being on the Capri Island where you are surrounded by beauty, by the flowers but also by the sea with its Mediterranean appeal.
Personally I find this a lovely composition with nice sillage and good lasting power.
Full bottle worthy.
