Even if you're not up on your Italian, you would probably deduce from the brilliant blue bottle that this fragrance has tropical vibes. If you're wondering, "arancia di Capri" translates to the "orange of Capri." In addition to the obvious orange essential oils, it contains lemon, mandarin, caramel, cardamom and musk. The result is a relaxing fragrance that will evoke dreams of boat rides around picturesque Italian islands.
Think sunshine doesn't have a scent? Demeter says it does and the brand spent two years trying to put sunshine in a bottle. They sought to replicate the scent of cotton warmed by the sun and this is the resulting fragrance. It's clean and refreshing and does carry an air of fresh laundry — with a dash of vanilla and a splash of citrus. Try it for yourself and see if you agree.
This vibrant bottle is as summery as a pair of flip flops or a floral maxi dress. The limited-edition cologne is a splurge, but it lasts all day, unlike spray-and-they-are-gone body mists. It sets itself apart from other tropical fruity fragrances because it mixes passion flower, cherimoya fruit, pear, tonka bean and Brazilian copahu resin. The fragrance is fresh, exotic and best paired with bronzed skin and a wet-look hairstyle.
