Why We Carry This
RDZ Parfums represents a Caribbean perspective in niche perfumery that the market underrepresents, and Capicua is their most confident expression of that identity. The neroli-orange blossom heart is genuinely warm rather than synthetic-fresh, and the cedar-sandalwood base gives the tropical opening a lasting quality.
Character
Accords: Tropical, Fruity, Floral, Sweet, Creamy, Musk
Perfumer: Daniel Josier
Capicua opens with bergamot, lemon, and neroli, the triple citrus combination that Puerto Rican perfumery uses when it wants to establish the specific brightness of the island rather than a generic tropical freshness. Orange blossom and jasmine in the heart give the citrus a warmth that feels genuinely botanical, and cedar with sandalwood close with a dry woodiness that anchors the opening's brightness. Amber extends the drydown into a warmth that the evening air of the Caribbean deserves.
