Thematic Territory

Sicilian lemon exploding over Capri blue water — the definitive Mediterranean summer in a bottle, so iconic it transcended perfumery to become a cultural reference.

Era & Context

Modern

Light Blue became one of the best-selling fragrances in history and a permanent fixture of global fragrance culture. Olivier Cresp's lemon-apple-cedar composition captured the Capri lifestyle in a bottle and defined the citrus-fruity fresh feminine genre for two decades.
