Quilombo

Oh man I love this fragrance. I got a sample from lucky scent that I was being very frugal with... which is always a sign that I should just get q bottle... But with Fueguia’s price point, I think it’s good to be sure that the fragrance is truly a must have.... And for me this one is a must have. I even tried some of the other fragrances listed here to see if I could find something cheaper that got close... not possible. This is sweetened condensed milk to a T which I think you can find elsewhere... but there is also something extremely sexy and pheromonal about it to my nose, that is not so easy to replicate. It’s linear and simple, but Quillombo is so comforting and creamy and mmm just perfect. It’s also sophisticated... like not just a sweet young gourmand. It was stuck in my mind. When I was trying other fragrances in my collection I kept thinking about it and wishing I had it on. Needless to say I finally decided to splurge and get a bottle before winter is over. Now I douse myself in it like it costs nothing (I wish). Haha. It’s also got a decent longevity on me. This is for a cozy day in with a book and tea. I personally think it actually has a masculine lean to it, but it’s certainly a unisex fragrance. If you like creamy fragrances, you must get your hands on a sample.

Interesting reading others’ take on this one. I only have a 5ml decant. What I get at the first spray is a syrupy tropical drink: like a pina colada with strong rum, but with predominant mango mixed with the coconut. Not sure if these are actual unlisted notes or if the caramel is just so dense that it gives off a fruity aspect to my nose. I’m reminded of other tropical scents I own, like Ambrosia Imperiale or Butterfly Mango Sticky Rice. I think if you overspray this, you could feel sick. For me, 2 sprays from my decant is potent. I wouldn’t mind owning this but it’s pretty spendy, and because I have others that are similar will probably pass on a full bottle. This is lovely, though.

this one is a hard one to pin down. without checking the composition/ingredients list, i would be inclined to believe that this had if not one then two or more white floral elements. it reminds me a little of 'welcome december' by ASAQ; that said, the presence of sugar/caramel 'vibing' with the milk is creating the white floral accord, or perhaps something like that. my wife just smelt and immediately picked up the vanilla-creaminess. yup. it's me that's off. anyway, something to really try. i am getting that burnt vanilla vibe coming through, i must say. just no cream or vanilla. it's me.

Love, love, love this one. To my nose this smells like salted caramel and freshly buttered popcorn in a bottle. The salty acquatic Fueguia base blends so well with the caramel and milk to create the note of "dulce de leche". The burned milk note on the Fueguia 1833 website is listed as "Pampa milk", which I think is a vegetal interpretation of the prosperous ranch industry from the grassy Argentinian lowland. Very evocative and cozy. 12hr+ longevity. This is one of the most interesting gourmands I've smelled. Saving up for a big bottle.

Don't be fooled by the paucity of notes; there is much more going on here than milk, vanilla, caramel and sugar. It is a complex fragrance, that is sweet, green and floral. That so few have mentioned the floral and green notes surprises me. I cannot identify the source of the green note, but it works so beautifully with the other ingredients. Sillage is moderate, but longevity is quite good; three sprays from a sample have lasted the entire day. I am certain I will buy a full bottle; it's gorgeous.
