   Everyone keeps talking about Cape Heartache, so I finally gave it a proper test. Give it a little time and Fir with Pine Tree comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Fir with Pine Tree, which is where the fragrance really shines. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   Picked up a sample of Cape Heartache after reading the community buzz (2013). After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Fir with Pine Tree, which is where the fragrance really shines. Give it a little time and Fir with Pine Tree comes forward — smooth and well done. Performance is consistent: comfortable sillage and several hours of wear on my skin. It is fine, but it does not stand out in my collection.

   Everyone keeps talking about Cape Heartache, so I finally gave it a proper test. Give it a little time and Fir with Pine Tree comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Fir with Pine Tree, which is where the fragrance really shines. I get about four to six hours before it turns into a skin scent. This one gets my highest praise — beautiful from start to finish.

   I’ve been wearing Cape Heartache on and off for a few weeks now (2013). After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Fir with Pine Tree, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Fir and Pine Tree feel carefully balanced. Two sprays are enough — it carries well without shouting. I can see its quality, but it simply is not my style.

   I have owned Cape Heartache for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. The heart is the best part for me: Fir and Pine Tree feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Fir with Pine Tree comes forward — smooth and well done. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. Worth sampling before committing to a bottle.

   I keep reaching for Cape Heartache more than I expected to. The heart is the best part for me: Fir and Pine Tree feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Fir with Pine Tree comes forward — smooth and well done. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

    I keep reaching for Cape Heartache more than I expected to. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Fir with Pine Tree, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Fir and Pine Tree feel carefully balanced. It lasts through a full workday on me, which is exactly what I want. Easily one of my favourite finds this season.
