Mbucuruyá

I wasn't expecting to love Mbucuruya, but it's turned out to be one of the best fruity fragrances I've ever tried. The milkiness is most noticeable when I first apply it - it's sweet and creamy, a hint caramelized. Condensed milk is what comes to mind. The fruits are definitely what dominate this fragrance though, and they're gorgeously realistic. The juicy, bright, pulpy passionfruit and citrus are evident from the first spray, blooming wonderfully on my skin. Beneath the profusion of tropical fruit is a comforting tea-like, earthy base. Vibrant, delicious and unique, with great sillage and lasting power. It's rare that I find a fruity fragrance I truly enjoy, but this is a standout fruity scent in a fragrance market that seems to be heavily saturated with mediocre fruity-florals. Mbucuruya went immediately onto my want list the first time I tried it.

Very bright, citrusy, realistic passionfruit that starts off a bit green. After a few hours it kind of melds with my skin and becomes more creamy and less sour. Wearing it feels fresh, natural, fun, sunny, youthful. I love it. I have edition XXV and I just ordered XXIV to see if I can detect any differences. Such a cool perfume house, excited to explore more! It’s the most I’ve ever spent per ounce, but I was happy to learn that 40% of profits go towards a local (Argentinian) charity, that they are so meticulous and creative with their extractions and sourcing, and have such a thoughtful and unique vision as a perfume house. It doesn’t feel as arbitrarily overpriced as many luxury or niche brands can be.

I love it so much! It's became one of my number one fav summer scent. Rich milky - creamy but very juicy and fresh tart-sweet tropical heaven. So so uplifting, sparkling and smooth! Holiday like, sweet juicy citrusy fresh, lush and creamy. (Sweet, but perfect choice for summer for gourmand lovers like me, not cloying at all.) It's like they closed in to a bottle the warm and bright tropical sunshine which is melted in to a silky and thick skimmings based tropical coctail.

I'm not sure what they call it exactly, but I got a bottle of the "aged" version of this. It's dated like wine...the one I have is from 2016. This is pure heaven to me. I don't get milk per se, but it's more a creamy, tart, tropical concoction that is not-quite-gourmand. The reference in the review below to parsley is totally understandable because the tartness here is a bit green in nature. Stunning to my nose.

My latest new acquisition. This perfume is a vice. It is a strong presence but pleasant fragrance and is not heavy at all. In the opening and in the dry down can smell patchouli . For the duration of the fragrance (over 12 hours) feel the aroma of dry, sweet, fruit like prunes. Fully recommended. It become my new signature fragrance!!!!
