Chamber

This fragrance got such a bad rep here. What a shame. First of all, the official note breakdown is the following: Fondo de Lago (bottom of a lake) Barba de Viejo (a type of moss that hangs down from tree, like witch's hair in North America) Mate leaf Here's a snippet from the official website: "The olfactory nates are indeed very special: marble, powder, barba de viejo – the lichen of Patagonia, a plant able to indicate the level of air purity, and finally, the scent of the bottom of the lake. ... Chamber was inspired by the concrete, marble, and the architecture of Louis Khan, precisely the Kimbel Collection building." Now we know the inspiration of scent let's talk about the smell. It's super aquatic - no amount of moss or leaves can hide that watery smell. It's not a typical calone though; I also smell moss and stillness of the vegetation. The aquatic note here is quite unconventional thanks to Fueguia's base (I always register it as a salty woody ambergris), and is more misty than sticky. The use of green notes here can be also found in other Fueguia creations such as Cactus Azul (it evokes the juice of aloe vera), but I don't recall smelling it anywhere else. No musk. I find this fragrance cold. Having lived in Pacific Northwest in the past decade this is a very proper late fall/winter scent to me when everything is cold and wet and the sun never peaks. It matches the mood perfectly. I do find the scent too piercing if I spray too close to my nose and stay indoors, but once that's remedied it's perfect. Highly recommended for those that want to try an unusual green or a photorealistic aquatic.

Chamber is one of the most underrated fragrances I have ever smelled in my life. I can't tell you how many times I have researched and tried to find the best petrichor fragrance and I have come up with nothing. Nothing spectacular and nothing close to what I really want. Nothing smelled like the real thing! How many times have I smelled patchouli in something that is supposed to smell like water and concrete!? To be honest I gave up. I thought I was asking too much. Behold! Chamber! Is the actual rain water scent I have been looking for. It has taken me years! Yes. This is the holy Grail of petrichor for my taste. It's very crisp and very watery. You can sense the mineral aspect to the fragrance. It's described as wet cement initially being dried by the sun. Stones underwater in a river. And that river water on the skin. To top it all off, this brand in its entirety is Photo realistic and incredibly natural. This fragrance sounds expensive and it is. I believe it is around $420. If you have it, then I highly recommend you purchase it. If you don't have it then try to get a sample or a travel size. That's what I did. I'm telling you. This is something you will never find again.

One of the most unusual scents ever created this aquatic offering mixes some very unique ingredients. It opens with aquatic notes of moss and lichen from the Atlantic Ocean. Then you get marble paste which evokes concrete and glass. Finally the scent settles on grassy ozonic notes of the mate leaf. The scent is supposed to be a tribute to the architecture of the Kimbel museum buildings in Fort Worth, TX designed by the great Louis Kahn. The smell takes me to the clean beaches of beautiful Fernando de Noronha island with its beautiful green archipelago. This is an utterly unique, wearable green aquatic scent. Unisex with moderate projection and good longevity. Not for everyone but I am delighted. Enjoy!

Intriguing perfume. I get freshly cut grass as the opener, but like, the EXACT smell of freshly cut grass, no other notes whatsoever. Just as you're beginning to wonder what the point was of even creating, let alone buying such a monochromatic scent, it opens up and reveals a heart containing, dare I say it, an Iso E Super bomb. And somehow, it works really quite well in amongst the greenery. I agree with the below comments comparing it to Philosykos, that fresh cut branch sap smell is nestled in there quite snugly, and the scent is all the better for it. Longevity is a little lacklustre though, and it's probably one more for the spring/summer months. Nonetheless, really lovely.

Green, green, green. There is the freshly cutted grass and moss but it gets warmer after a few minutes with a fig leaf kind of sweetness and dries down to a more salty/aquatic that i appreciate a lot. It's summer but so different from the citric and neroli cliché scents. This feels like a dense and humid forest instead of the beach with the kids screaming. I love it as a scent but i don't think i will wear it. To me it's a bit linear and it doesn't have the kind of balance i look for in a fragrance but i'll give another chance in hot weather.
