A coquito with a tobacco/plum/woody blend
Sampling RDZ Parfums Capicu, the house’s most recent release, a creation inspired by a domino move of the same name, for me it conjures a coquito beverage, a creamy rum and cinnamon concoction, with an interesting medley of listed notes that do not corroborate my interpretation exactly but at least suggest it—namely, banana, plum, tobacco, cognac, tonka, bourbon, vanilla, labdanum, vetiver, woods. A sweet and fresh yet bold and deep creation that to me, feels like the summer to Flan’s winter, a sort of dessert-leaning (albeit not explicitly gourmand) blend, the other best comparison being Guerlain L’Homme Ideal extreme in its common tobacco/plum blend. Overall, I’m really impressed by this new release As with most of the line, Capicu is extrait concentration and priced at $160 for 100ml, very reasonable in the current market for a high-quality, high-performing, creative nice perfume in a sturdy, easy-to-handle bottle. 8 out of 10
