About the FRAGRANCE
Trendsetting films have always captivated me. Capri EdP by 19-69 is inspired by the stylish and iconic film Le Mépris, shot in 1963 on the Isle of Capri. The settings include Villa Malaparte, and the film uses a scheme of red (tolerance, love), blue (coldness), and white (neutrality), referencing the national flags of France and the USA and echoing the narrative’s themes. Fragrance notes include Sweet and Bitter Orange, Ylang Ylang Extra Oil, and White Musk.

BLOSSOMING ORANGE TREES AT VILLA MALAPARTE
The Fragrance Journey is influenced by the movie Le Mépris (1963) and the creator’s memoirs of Capri, Italy.
The beautiful terrain with olive groves and trees surrounding Villa Malaparte. The sun is shining from a clear blue sky. I can hear the ocean below me, I sense the afternoon breeze touching my skin. I take in the aromas of blossoming orange trees and mandarine leaves, feeling the warm rocks with my hands. The atmosphere is serene, almost biblical.
Using my binoculars I view him wearing a white linen suit, driving the small, red sports car, casually holding his cigarette. Bardot is wearing her blue hair band, the wind catching her blond mane.
In the distance I spot Christina, the yacht. I guess Onassis couldn’t take the heat. I see Jackie lounging on the sun deck wearing sunglasses and a Pucci kaftan, watching her friend diving into the cool water. A server comes out with a silver tray offering the ladies refreshing drinks. I imagine the clink of ice cubes against the crystal glasses. San Pellegrino with a slice of lemon, just how I like it.
