Combat, 1963:
"Two perfumes at once. In addition to its collection, Capucci has just presented two new-born perfumes: Graffiti and Parce Que. The first evokes all the warm ardor of Italy. The second is as green as a fresh grove; it is exhilarating like the penetrating smell of wet earth after a storm."
