Caprifoglio (Honeysuckle) by Santa Maria Novella was launched in 1997 as a chypre floral fragrance for both women and men. This composition opens with the bright freshness of bergamot, amalfi lemon, and orange, creating an immediate sense of clarity and crispness. The heart of jasmine, honeysuckle, and ylang-ylang adds a lush layer of sweet florals that balance the citrus notes perfectly. The base notes of magnolia, lotus, oak moss, and benzoin ground this fragrance with earthy warmth and a touch of honeyed sweetness.

Application Tips
Caprifoglio (Honeysuckle) has a bright opening that fades within an hour, so aim for two sprays to ensure the heart notes shine through. The woody base takes some time to develop, making it ideal for daytime wear where the fragrance evolves naturally with your skin.
