Capri Blue

Casa Bella Decor brings Capri Blue Volcano, the cult-favorite fragrance that has defined Anthropologie stores since 2001. If you have ever walked into an Anthropologie and wondered what that amazing scent was, this is it. The Volcano fragrance has achieved iconic status with its perfect blend of sugared citrus and tropical fruits that somehow works in every season and every space. Shoppers and employees alike refer to it simply as "the Anthro scent."

This collection features Volcano across multiple candle sizes from 3-ounce mini tins to 48-ounce jumbo jars, plus reed diffusers and laundry products. Holiday Sale pricing starts at $10.80 for mini tins, with select items discounted for limited quantity. The distinctive vessel designs from classic white to sparkling glimmer to iridescent mercury glass transform functional candles into decorative statement pieces.

Scent Profile

Volcano captures the excitement and energy of a summer night rendezvous. The fragrance opens with bright, lively citrus notes of tangerine and grapefruit. Tropical fruit heart notes add exotic warmth while a base of sugared musk creates addictive sweetness without being cloying. The balance is what makes Volcano universally appealing, working for those who typically avoid sweet fragrances.

Why Volcano Works Year-Round

Most candles feel seasonal, but Volcano transcends traditional fragrance categories. The citrus brightness suits spring and summer while the warm base feels cozy enough for fall and winter. This versatility explains why Anthropologie burns Volcano in stores throughout the year and why customers return to it season after season.

Room-Filling Without Overpowering

Capri Blue candles deliver strong scent throw that fills rooms without causing headaches or becoming overwhelming. The fragrance lingers pleasantly even when candles are not burning. Many customers report smelling Volcano throughout their homes from a single candle, testament to the quality fragrance oils used in every pour.

The Emotional Connection

Scent is closely tied to memory, and Volcano has become associated with the aspirational Anthropologie lifestyle. Customers describe wanting their homes to smell like the store, capturing that curated, beautiful atmosphere. Lighting a Volcano candle transforms spaces and moods, transporting you to happier days with every burn.
