I can completely understand the position of the reviewer below this is YET another Full incense/Avignon/cardinal etc etc etc...the list is actually huge! A prominent fresh, light white frankincense note which sparkles out of this creation and I can't help but enjoy it. Sure it's not original and this (as far as I can remember?) is my first from this house so not the best start in terms of impressing me. The lady in the shop had the brief of "I like resinous, woody perfume, complex you know? Possibly something with incense and spices?" As soon as I mentioned incense she sprung to life and offered up lots of very familiar stuff infact she did bring Cardinal over too! When I asked for incense I didn't mean four perfumes which all smell the same!!! Oh and also...to speak on that wooden coffin...apparently they are made by disabled people in Patagonia or the Andes or somewhere? I didn't know if they were promoting the fair trade, ethical aspect of the manufacture or what? I'm sure it's not exploitative or slave labour or anything but when you see a brand demanding a high price, in a boutique store just seems a little misplaced. Anyway morality aside, Fueguia seem to offer up some interesting juice so I will reserve judgement until I've sampled more of the line. Average performance and nothing really new here scent wise but I still adore the smell it's stunning!
