What do reviewers say about Sex and the Sea and Tropic of Capricorn?
It smells like someone you want to be close to. Not a clean, soapy someone. A real one. The coconut reads like vacation, but the civet and ambergris underneath have a different agenda entirely.Sex and the Sea
Not your grandmother's tropical. This is the humid hour, the one where the florals go indolic and the air smells like something that grew wild. Animalic, yes. But not aggressive. It breathes.Tropic of Capricorn
