Beagle

Thus far, my favorite fragrance. What Fueguia has done here is magical. Sillage is excellent and upon spraying you're met with strong a combination of sweet oak mixed with smoke (from the gunpowder) with a very slight hint of metal when you smell it close to the skin. Longevity is at several hours and the strength slowly mellows out to a woody and boozy scent, with the rum emerging as time goes on. Can be worn night or day, male or female. I've worn it throughout the year with lots of compliments received but it does seem to smell a little better when the weather is colder, fall/winter/spring. A little goes a long way and it does stick to your clothing. Ordered directly from Fueguia, excellent customer service. Came in a beautiful, hand-made wooden box, bottle was wrapped in parchment paper and nestled among wood fibers. Amazing attention to detail.

Smashingly made! Gorgeous - Gunpowder with rum on a woody base... smooth ... just that simple. Only let down per se is its slightly weaker in performance that its stable mates but that still makes it better than other brands. Make no mistake - Fueguia is one of the highest quality niche brands with left field (i.e not typical) but not confrontational designs (unlike Imaginary Authors and Zoologist whom try too hard). The fact that some batches sell for more as they improve says a lot. Jacaranda, Basilicum (limited production) and Humbolt are my favourites with no parallel for scent.

All time frag. It's like wearing a story. It leans male, but is unisex enough. Unlike others, I don't have an issue with longevity. Pricey though.

This was a fairly random test for me, as I liked the idea behind it, but caught me on a hook for sure. Initially, my impression was that something about it reminded me very much of Tom Ford's Black Orchid without the patchouli, so seeing other reviewers mention floral notes isn't very surprising. While there seems to be more going on than the simple pyramid suggests, the three notes of oak, rum and gunpowder are definitely eminent. Beagle is woody and boozy, with a slight sulphur like smokiness, that works better than one might think. It is very creamy and the booziness has to me more of a cognac feeling than rum, as while creamy and smooth, this definitely remains woody and never gets particularly sweet and I think contributes to the floral undertones this scent has. While fairly linear, with the gunpowder slowly dissipating, the staying power and projection on this scent have been very impressive for me, which is good because my 30ml bottle was pretty expensive. Makes me think of boats and pirates more than Darwin, of sun aged wood and barrels of alcohol. Worth a try for anyone who likes boozy woody scents or unisex florals like Black Orchid.

I love it how this one starts out sweet and goes toward a more dry and smoky smell while almost all others perfumes I've tried does the opposite. Interesting variation. The top, middle, and base notes are very clear and distinct and according to description. Might be that I also detect some flowery and aquatic notes in the beginning where I would have liked an even more concentrated woodiness but this perfume is still very beautiful and has a nice and strong personality.
