Reviews of Capucci pour Homme (1967)
by Roberto Capucci

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.

If you like not only Eau Sauvage, but also Armani pour homme, it's most for you likely to enjoy this one. Clean, inoffensive and refined chypre, with a long-lasting yet discreet woody and leathery drydown. Sometimes powerful enough to be worn even in winter, during the evening or formally, yet also light, aromatic and herbal enough to be a perfect companion during the summer and with more casual wear. The proper definition of a classic, having in it the power of being elegant without ever overstepping the limits of good taste.

very nice edt-timeless fresh....form the 60ies but still modern!Definitely better than the whle stuff from 2000-2006!!!!!!!!

I really like this. It is much cleaner than eau sauvage with fantastic top and middle clarity and less clutter. Only reservation is drydown which is a little bland, but still with some nice notes. Has the house signature which I can't quite place but like very much.

If you like Dior's EAU SAUVAGE, you will like this CAPUCCI for Men! It's a very similar scent. A clean and spicy lemon-scent for men. Long-lasting and "old-fashioned" in a very nice way.
