Description
The ‘Sole di Capri’ scent is redolent of high summer and long lazy days spent on the sun-drenched island. The intense southern Italian sunshine warms terracotta terraces, their sun-baked, heady dry scent mixing with the sea air and the surrounding citrus trees growing among white-walled houses. The ‘Sole di Capri’ design is one of Fornasetti's most cherished and enduring patterns. Piero Fornasetti always had a great passion for Capri and created this iconic Fornasetti décor from this imagination, in advance of ever visiting the legendary island. Piero took the family to Capri for holidays and during the 1960s he also opened an ephemeral Fornasetti store there. Piero first used this décor on wastepaper baskets and on an umbrella stands; Barnaba has made further use it for several other objects such as fabrics, scarves, bags, ties and porcelains. The combination of the personified sunshine and the stylized architecture (both Fornasetti archetypes)create a distinctive design. The colour combination of marigold yellow and royal blue is also quite unique in context of Fornasetti's work.

HEAD NOTES - Head notes are the first notes perceived after a perfume is sprayed on the skin, and they are also the most volatile. As they are minuscule molecules that quickly evaporate, these notes contribute to our first impression of a fragrance. Their role is primarily commercial, as they are often only perceived for a brief period of time, typically no longer than 5-10 minutes. In most instances, head notes are perceived as fresh, thus they are often derived from citrus fruits, flowers or exotic fruits.

Heart Notes

Pine Sap, Samphire.

HEART NOTES - When top notes soften or subdue, heart notes emerge. As their name suggests, these are the notes at the 'heart' of a perfume; the central part of it. They accompany a perfume throughout its evolution, lasting from 15 minutes up to 1 hour. The most commonly used heart notes are soft and velvety, often characterized by flowers such as rose, jasmine or lavender, as well as hints of spice or vanilla. These notes are very important because, if a perfume's formula is well constructed, they should gently guide us towards base notes.

Base Notes

Cistus Labdanum, Iodine, Ambergris.

BASE NOTES - Base notes are generally persistent, strong and powerful. In some cases, they appear 1 hour after a perfume is sprayed on the skin and persist until the following day. Among the most renowned and functional base notes are Oud, Sandalwood, Patchouli and Cedarwood. These are highly crucial notes to a perfume's unfolding, as they sometimes also help to make other notes composing a perfume stand out for longer periods of time. A perfume's base notes may sometimes also include odours of animal origin, amber, and musk, which are now synthetically created, as they are forbidden in their natural state.
