Filly
by Roberto Capucci
Filly by Roberto Capucci is a vintage-inspired floral chypre with a soft, radiant opening dominated by aldehydes and green hyacinth, evoking the romantic elegance of 1980s perfumery. The scent unfolds with a rich bouquet of rose, jasmine, and orchid, layered over a woody base of sandalwood and oak moss, with a subtle animalic civet undertone adding depth. The overall impression is feminine, delicate, and sophisticated—reminiscent of vintage classics like La Nuit or Yves Saint Laurent’s Dior Poison, with a balance of sweetness and dry earthiness. It carries a moderate to strong sillage, long-lasting on skin, and is best suited for daytime wear, especially in spring and summer.
