Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes Tropic of Capricorn is a Parfum launched in 2013, created by Ellen Covey. Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes's Tropic of Capricorn carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a wild one: Tropic of Capricorn is a deeply polarising, intensely animalic tropical floral that's either a masterful work of art or an absolute scrubber. Expect a ride into the heart of a humid, untamed jungle - not a beach holiday.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date

Its long-lasting, strong projection and intensely animalic, indolic profile make it far too overwhelming for office or formal settings. However, its deeply sensual and mysterious character makes it an intriguing choice for a date night or adventurous casual wear, especially in the evening.

About

Dive headfirst into a dense, humid jungle at dusk. Tropic of Capricorn opens with an intoxicating, overripe mango and lush frangipani, quickly entwining with intensely indolic jasmine and tuberose that verges on decay. This rich floral-fruity accord is underpinned by a potent, almost feral animalic growl from hyraceum and ambergris, evoking wet earth and raw sensuality. As it dries, creamy sandalwood and warm vanilla emerge, rounding out the wildness into something darkly alluring, yet still utterly untamed.
