Capricci by Nina Ricci was launched in 1960, created by the esteemed perfumer Francis Fabron. This fragrance is a complex interplay of white florals and fresh spicy notes, with a green and woody base that adds depth and earthiness. The top note of bergamot introduces a bright, citrusy freshness, which gradually gives way to the heart's rich blend of hyacinth, orris root, rose, narcissus, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, gardenia, ylang-ylang, and tuberose. This floral bouquet is both delicate and powerful, creating a captivating contrast. The base notes of oakmoss, musk, vetiver, sandalwood, and benzoin ground the composition with a warm, earthy presence.

Application Tips
Capricci is best applied lightly — the floral heart unfolds gradually and lasts throughout the day. Avoid over-application during warmer months when the white florals might read as overly sweet.
