It knocked me right off my surfboard! Figuratively speaking. That’s exactly how much I liked Capri, Michael Kors’ latest addition to Island, his line of tropical-inspired perfumes for women. The entire set, all three fragrances — Capri, Hawaii as well as Fiji — impressed me. exactly how frequently can any type of of us state that about a full set of anything?
Capri, together with the two other scents in the set, surprised me because, honestly, when I believe of Michael Kors, I don’t instantly correspond the guy with perfume. Instead, I believe of accessories (his bags are around Macy’s) as well as his extremely orange tanned deal with on job Runway. however all that has altered for me now. The next time Kors releases a fragrance, I’ll pay close attention, since if his future fragrances are on par with Capri, Hawaii as well as Fiji, they’ll be great.

Hitting fragrance counters about a month ago, Capri looks as well as smells like tropical vacation in a bottle. The extremely sight of the bottle made me believe of white, sandy beaches as well as blue, rolling surf.
White florals like Capri have a tendency to be overwhelmingly strong, however Capri’s blend of bitter Seville orange as well as bergamot (a small, pear-shaped citrus fruit grown in Italy) notes, mixed with violet, fig as well as white moss, hit just the right subtle intensity.
When I very first spray it on my skin, I get a burst of violet that shifts to citrus over time. My preferred element of Capri (and the other scents in the set) is exactly how natural as well as un-synthetic it smells. There’s nothing chemical or plastic about these fragrances. photo vibrant flowers chosen from a lush, tropical garden at the base of a trick waterfall. None of the scents odor synthetic to me, as well as my nose can usually spot things that odor plastic or lab-derived.

Whether they’re sets of lipsticks, eyeshadows or perfumes, I seldom like every product in a set of beauty products, however I like the Fiji as well as Hawaii scents just as much as Capri.
Hawaii, which I think about the boldest of the three fragrances, smells of clementine oranges, pineapple, orange flower, jasmine, ginger lily as well as white amber. since El Hub’s household is from Hawaii, I’ve spent a great deal of time in the islands, as well as I can honestly state that Michael Kors’ Hawaii is properly named.
Fiji, more of a floral scent than Hawaii, scores additional credit history for the hot pink bottle (so cute!). The fragrance contains notes of Fijian tiare flower, as well as I believe it’s the lightest as well as most feminine of the three scents in the set.
I have yet to odor the original Island perfume by Kors, which won a fragrance foundation award in 2006. It’s offered on the internet at Sephora.com, so ideally the next time I make it to Sephora I can provide it a try. I’m quite sure I’ll like it!
Another added plus: Capri, Hawaii as well as Fiji are boy friendly. I hauled El Hub together with me to the fragrance counter as well as required him to provide each one a great sniff. He usually hates most perfumes as well as cringes at the smell, explaining most of them as “too perfume-y” or “too old lady,” however after smelling each Kors scent he surprised the heck out of me by stating he liked them all. I’ve made El Hub odor many a perfume, ya’ll. His reaction put me into temporary shock.
Capri, Hawaii as well as Fiji are offered at Nordstrom stores or on the internet at Nordstrom.com. Each one will set you back $60, a fantastic offer thinking about the big 1.7 oz bottles as well as that they’re all eau de parfums (not watered down eau de toilettes). I can’t wait on summertime since I’ll be using these every day!
What do you believe of Michael Kors’ fragrances? like ’em? dislike ’em?

Happy Monday, ya’ll! I woke up this morning totally confused. My interior clock hasn’t figured out why we (here in the U.S.) set our clocks ahead in spring for Daylight Savings, however I’m happy about the additional hour of sunlight at the end of the day. How’s your day been so far?
