What does Tropic of Capricorn smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer close behind. It leans towards leisure time, evenings and nights out. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine, sitting evenly between the two.
As a whole it is floral, sweet and green, with a tropical air. Jasmine, tuberose, osmanthus and magnolia carry the flowers, while mango adds a fruity sweetness. Bourbon vanilla, benzoin and New Caledonian sandalwood soften it with resinous, woody warmth, and ambergris and hyraceum add an animal, earthy depth.
