Expert tips: the art of perfumer
The ritual of the micro-Vaporized: Given the high concentration of pure botanical extracts and the rich nature of the flowers such as tuberose and the Ylang-ylang, Fiori Di Capri requires containment. Instead of spraying abundantly, subtly apply to cloud mode over pulse points. The perfume will radiate with much more beauty and lightness when the area is not overtured, allowing green and spite notes to breathe with white flowers.
Synergy of thermal evolution: The perfumes of rich Cyprus structure in oak moss and sandalwood flower beautifully on slightly warm skin. For formal events, apply it inside the elbows or behind the knees under noble garments. The latent heat of the body will gradually project the golden resins of the background, creating an elegant aura that ascends subtle but imposing along the evening.
CAUTION WITH CLEAR TEVES: Being a classic formula very charged with resinous essential oils (such as rope, honey and incense), natural juice can have a dense ambarin coloration. It is advisable to wait always for the fragrance to dry and nod before wearing pale silk garments, white linen or delicate lace, thus preserving the neatness of its luxury textiles.
