Does Cappadocia lean more masculine or feminine?+−
It is a true unisex fragrance. The floral notes of rose and jasmine are balanced by heavy resins and woods, while the saffron adds a spice that sits comfortably in the middle of the gender spectrum.
Is this a good choice for warm summer weather?+−
Most users find Cappadocia best suited for cooler temperatures. The creamy, resinous base of vanilla and sandalwood can become overly dense or "sticky" in high heat and humidity.
How does the saffron note behave in this fragrance?+−
The saffron is prominent in the opening, providing a spicy and slightly leathery introduction. It isn't sharp or aggressive, however, as it quickly blends into the softer, buttery textures of the orris and sandalwood.
Is this a safe blind buy for someone who likes "creamy" scents?+−
While it is definitely creamy, the addition of frankincense and myrrh gives it a smoky, resinous edge that may be challenging for those who only like gourmand or lactonic scents. Sampling first is recommended due to the polarizing nature of its sweetness.
