Wearing Tropic of Capricorn by Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes

First impression is wow! This is so lush and humid and tropical, like a greenhouse, but without any synthetic aquatic notes intruding. I get a lot of magnolia and a bit of tuberose, and some overripe wilting jasmine. More animalic as it dries, something kind of salty savory that might be ambergris? This is the first perfume I’ve smelled with natural ambergris!

    Any mango or is it overshadowed by the florals?

      Hints of mango but it’s pretty subtle. For humid tropical greenhouse with lots of mango, Sorce Venus in Fleurs would be a better fit, but it’s a lot cleaner feeling with its “humidity” note, no animalic

    This whole house is very fun to explore—all a bit too richly floral for my tastes, but if you love strong and realistic florals this house is a goldmine.

      Agreed, I love their florals!
