Capeline
Capeline by Yves Saint Laurent is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with mandarin, bergamot and pink pepper, moves into lily, neroli and ylang-ylang and dries down to vetiver, vanilla and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Lily A big, creamy, slightly spicy white flower. The kind that fills a room.
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
