This is part of Acqua di Parma’s Blu Mediterraneo line. The line is thematically evocative of the Mediterranean, focusing on notes common in the region. They’re usually simple and minimalistic fragrances which emphasize the note in the title. As such, Arancia di Capri is focused on arancia, or oranges.
When you first spray it on, you get a dry mandarin note, kind of similar to Mandarino di Amalfi. It sweetens a little as it begins to dry down, but it still stays predominantly orange based. Some white musk amplifies the scent, though it isn’t a very dominant note. A bit of orange blossom adds some dry soapiness in the drydown as well. That’s basically the whole fragrance.
The fragrance makes me picture the sun beating down from the clear sky on a hot summer day. The way the smell of sweaty skin would amplify the orange and the musk, while mixing with the salty air of the sea or ocean, might not sound appealing to some. However, it sounds magical to me, and makes me eagerly await the summer.
Longevity is 4 or 5 hours, which is surprisingly good. It projects well for maybe half an hour, but it sits closer to the skin for the rest of its duration. It’s a gentle, refreshing, casual fragrance.
