Green, river-earthy, piscine. Capitiu is an Amazonian scent concept — river fish, muddy banks, aquatic vegetation. Strange and hyper-specific.

Докладно
Цікавий факт
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.'

У парфумерії
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.
