Tropic of Capricorn

Tropic of Capricorn by Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women and men. Tropic of Capricorn was launched in 2013. The nose behind this fragrance is Ellen Covey. The fragrance features Hyrax, Ambergris, Mango, Osmanthus, Frangipani, Tuberose, Jasmine, Benzoin, Sandalwood, Magnolia, Green Notes and Bourbon Vanilla. Tropic of Capricorn is an atypical tropical fragrance that avoids all the clichés of piña coladas, sunny beaches, and coconut-scented suntan oil. Instead, it’s a dark, night-time, jungle tropical, called Tropic of Capricorn in honor of the theme, the winter season when it was created, and Henry Miller’s famed work of the same name in which he writes about “the dark fecundity of nature, … a night so frighteningly silent, utterly incomprehensible and eloquent at the same time”. The perfume creates the aura of a still, humid tropical night redolent with the scent of exuberant, blooming life, quick death, and the almost immediate rebirth that springs out of the dead flowers, something sensed at a level below conscious thought. Tropic of Capricorn is an all-natural perfume featuring notes of mango fruit tincture, jasmine, frangipani, tuberose, magnolia, osmanthus, maile vine (a common component of floral leis), Bourbon vanilla, Africa stone (hyrax), ambergris, benzoin and New Caledonian sandalwood. The nose behind the fragrance is Ellen Covey. Released in 2013, Tropic of Capricorn is available as a 4.5 ml parfum screw-top bottle and 15 ml parfum in a screw-top bottle.
