Capucci pour Homme (1967)
by Roberto Capucci

not as strong as, but a dead ringer for versace l'homme. smells great, but not strong enough. smells like armani pour homme on the citrus notes, but exactly like versace. all the way. not a bad thing, especially if you like versace but find it too strong for the office.

A fresh, clean, citrusy fougere which is in my perception a slightly mentholated (basil, anice) sort of mild lemonade (lavender, lime, lemon, bergamot, fruits). Following to a fruity-flowery middle, the dry down is mossy and woody but in a light and airy way. It is pleasantly old school and nice to feel fresh and clean. It lacks an high level of distinction leaning a bit over the casual-sporty side. This is for a dynamic kind of man.

Purchased a bottle recently in Italy for a bargain priceJust love it on my skin as it seems to last very well.Dont see it as cologney or as citrussy as eau sauvage or armani.Perhaps citrus at the very beginning but with a lovely classic clean smell that I cant put my finger on..
Didnt realise that this was over 40 yrs old and wish all the recent fragrances had this longevity ang originality.
Perfect for a summer afternoon when you dont want to smell like a lemon or a synthetic fruit bowl.
A true class act in my opinion and not something everyone else smells like that is gone in an hour!!

A true classic. As the others have pointed out, it's very similar to it's contemporary Dior's Eau Sauvage, but a little more clear, less obtuse and perfectly capable of holding it's own w/o comparison 40 years later! Love it!

Great for an evening out.

RECOMMENDED!

Don't like it. My bottle must be bad or something, but then again, I do not like eau Sauvage, so maybe that's why. It smells old (70s/80s) with a skin musk showing up rather quickly. Just not worth it to me.

I came to Capucci pour Homme with high expectations. The reviews below compare it favorably to Eau Sauvage and Armani pour Homme, two of my favorite fragrances. Further, I appreciate a good moss note in some fougeres. I was disappointed in this one. The citrus which is high in ES and ApH is very, very low in CpH, almost miniscule. Believe me, I know ES and ApH very well, this is nothing like either of those excellent scents. Further, this does not have a sparking green moss scent like the superb Penhaligons English Fern or Trumpers Wild Fern. CpH emits a tough, brackish-brown scent reminiscent of the obnoxious Aqua di Selva or the wizzened and leathery Azzaro. Uggh. The dry-down mellows a bit, and intermittent nice notes emerge, but generally it has a heavy, dull, powdery finish. Peace be unto its fans, this one is not for me.
