Henry Miller's road without tar
While researching the name of the fragrance, I came across Henry Miller. A guy who got around a lot, known in the New Age movement, interested in Nietzsche, oriented his way of life to Buddha and Lao Tzu, wrote, painted and also played the piano. One of his literary works is called Tropic of Capricorn and contained partly autobiographical passages. I just ordered it because the man knew how to live, was married five times, loved life, food and sex. All things people are driven by and talk about.........and he's a Capricorn.
He might not have worn the scent, but I think he would have taken a sniff because he was curious. Because he loved to live, was a pleasure seeker and open to all things new. Tropic of Capricorn is not for everyone, for some hard to find beautiful, if they capitulate at the start of the fragrance, because they say uh, the irgdenwie smells like poop, is totally musty, who wants to smell like that or wear something.........
TOC starts out sweet and fecal. Hyrax is the excrement of the klipschliefer or klipdachse (Procavia capensis) - thanks Regina! I guess that's where that fecal note at the beginning comes from. The fruit along with foul water from flowers does the rest and you need a bit of patience until the full beauty of the scent unfolds. Because eventually you're standing in a sea of blooming tuberose, narcotic, engaging and very sexy. You want to fall over the one that smells so damn seductive.
Hooked by dear Peter with Top Shelf, via a few drops of Acaciosa in a swap pack, Black Tar, Bouquet de Palmyre, The Decay of the Angel, I have now landed in the Tropic of Capricorn given to me by dear Regina. An exciting journey that has demanded a lot from the nose and has expanded my olfactory horizons again.
