Que Chimba!

#71 of My Fragrance Journey - Que Chimba!: Heat With a Pulse I’ve been holding this bottle for a while. Not even spraying it. Just... looking at it. Trying to understand why it feels less like perfume and more like a person I’m slightly intimidated by. First spray? Boom. Sun on bare shoulders. Tropical fruit everywhere - guava, passionfruit, juicy and loud and borderline too much. For a second, I thought, okay, this is going to be syrupy chaos. And then - wait. Star anise. Sharp. Green. Slightly dangerous. It slices through the sweetness like it owns the place. That liquorice edge? That’s the hook. Without it, this would be just another tropical flirt. With it... it's hips are moving slowly, eye contact held a second too long. Playful, yes. But controlled. Very controlled. Fifteen minutes in, things start melting together. Heliotrope goes soft and almondy. Orchid turns creamy. The heat doesn’t drop - it deepens. It feels like skin warming, not sugar burning. Around forty minutes, the shift happens. Anise steps back. Tobacco and tonka rise up, smooth and golden. There’s a touch of rose, but not the romantic kind - more like fabric brushing against someone’s chest. Textural. Intimate. The sweetness thickens but never turns childish. It stays... structured. An hour or two later, it’s fully in its body. Creamy woods. Patchouli with velvet edges. Amber and vanilla humming underneath. You stop chasing notes and just feel it. It’s sweet, yes. But there’s spine here. Confidence without stiffness. And let’s talk performance because - wow. This thing projects. It lingers. It claims space. Not aggressively, but undeniably. Eternal longevity? Pretty close. It’s going to polarise people. That anise-liquorice thread isn’t playing safe. This is not your polite office scent. Seeing it sit at 3.76 surprises me. Maybe people expected something easier. Softer. This isn’t that. It’s bold. Joyful. Slightly reckless. The kind of scent you wear when the night isn’t supposed to end early. Blind buy? Risky. Absolutely. But if you want safe, keep walking. Que Chimba! doesn’t whisper. It invites. The question is whether you’re brave enough to say yes. More scent stories and visuals on Instagram - @lavendercloudsjd

Que Chimba completely surprised me in the best way. From the first spray, it felt vibrant, addictive, and full of personality. The opening is fresh and energetic, but what really won me over was the smooth dry down — warm, slightly sweet, and incredibly comforting without ever becoming too heavy. Performance on my skin was excellent, with solid longevity and a scent trail that kept getting compliments throughout the day. It has this playful yet sophisticated vibe that makes it easy to wear casually or dressed up at night. What I love most is how unique it feels compared to so many fragrances that smell repetitive lately. Que Chimba has character, confidence, and a fun energy that honestly makes me happy every time I wear it. Definitely one of my favorite discoveries and a perfume I’ll keep reaching for.

The fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of natural passion fruit and guava , juicy, realistic and perfectly balanced between sweetness and tartness. It instantly gives off the vibe of a tropical cocktail- fresh, lively and uplifting. As it develops the spices unfold beautifully, adding depth and intrigue without overpowering the composition. They’re seamlessly blended, enhancing the overall character of the scent. The drydown feels soft, smooth, and very comforting, warm woody and balsamic notes wrap around the skin like a gentle veil, offering both coziness and longevity. Overall, it’s a bright yet refined fragrance with an inviting trail and a dynamic, well-balanced structure.

This could be Lorenzo’s finest perfume, has no sharpness and loudness, but still feels the room, its smooth and stays with you for the day easily. This perfume has a soul for sure, nothing compares to it, I even had a memory of this smell, but i couldnt figure out it yet, what it is! Opens with Guava, peach, anise and some clove After 3 hours tonka, small tobbaco but you barely can smell it, its a bit boozy vibe, so thats why it can be worn all the time, and i can smell a bit of rose, in the end vanille amber and slight patchouli! THIS IS A HEAD TURNER SEXY AND SMOOTH EDIBLE parfum, if there is a cake thats tastes like this smells then, I want it!

I only got this because I am Colombian and was nostalgic, a blind buy for me! A whooping' hundred something dollars later for a scent I found very strange, confusing and not very Colombian-like at the initial spray... But at the dry down WOAH! It brought me back. You get the tropical fruits, Aguardiente (the anise), then the complexity of the other notes that somehow DO work! I really like this fragrance, not something you can wear everyday. I am excited to try the other LP fragrances however, I wouldn't say this one is a safe blind buy for some.
