Zanimljivosti
The capitiu scent comes partly from geosmin — the same molecule in petrichor. Freshwater fish absorb geosmin from cyanobacteria, concentrating it in flesh — which is why river fish sometimes smell 'muddy.'

U parfemima
Extreme niche/regional concept encoding Amazonian environmental scent. Built from aquatic-green synthetics, geosmin, vetiver-type earthiness. Functions in avant-garde or Amazonian-themed compositions. Culturally specific, deliberately challenging.
