    Bit of a shape shifter on me, this one – it kicks off with a simple but gorgeous mid-woody sandalwood, then goes all diva-like and almost rose/oud at moments as the sweetness ratchets up – there were moments I could have sworn it was Aoud Damascus or something – then modulates back down to some rich mahogany/ebony tones, and then – the only bit I didn’t like – went real dark-dirty-sweaty-vetiver right at the very end. Intermittently very seductive but it is so weird and ever-changing I couldn’t quite stay in sync with it. Pretty strong sillage and longevity; like every other 1833 I’ve tried, completely unisex and saturated with real natural smells of real woods. Gorgeous but in total perhaps a bit much for me.
    (If it’s true that this and Biblioteca de Babel are very close – I tried both and found Biblioteca smoother and easier to deal with, but Mono de la Tinta a lot more playful, sweeter and multifaceted.)

    I have to agree with the reviewer below who likened this to “Iso-E Super and cinnamon chewing gum”.
    That’s unfortunately exactly what it smells like :/
    The sandalwood seems to my nose to be extremely synthetic, and has none of the smooth, milky qualities of pure sandalwood. What I do get is a cold, abrasive cedar-type texture which seems to vanish the more I try to smell it. The cinnamon also has a high-pitched artificial sweetness, which makes me think of Big Red chewing gum and Cola Pops, etc, but not in a pleasant way.
    I have no idea what copaiba balm smells like, so I can’t tell how it’s affecting the composition.
    I’m surprised considering that the other cinnamon scent in Fueguia’s catalog, “Biblioteca de Babel”, smells very natural, with a rich, inviting spicy-sweet warmth. “El mono” smells like a failed rough draft of “Biblioteca” and it doesn’t have good performance either.
    Very amateurish.

    It smells exactly like the “coca cola flavored” popsicles i used to love as a child. And I definitely love it!
    Its sexy, edible but not exesively sweet. Spicy, woodsy and sort or “sweet earthy” if that exists.
    Also, it develops into very different acchords over time. You will smell a different fragance every 15 minutes. Great longevity (over 12 hours) and good sillage.

    Another strike from this house. It smells like Iso-e-super and cinnamon chewing gum. Quite synthetic.

    El Mono de la Tinta (Jorge Luis Borges Collection): Copaiba, sandalwood, cinnamon. What immediately hit me was a rich but sedate amber-like quality which I can only assume is the Copaiba resin, but very oud-ish and a bit wild. Upon application, pale yet ambery with a whisper of spice. But as it heats up on the skin… ZOWIE! Sandalwood initially stays way down under while the cinnamon sexily bounces on Copaiba’s abs. This one is musky, sweaty, and downright naughty. After some time, it falls back onto steamy sheets and smolders in the dark, going a little bit closer to the skin, but still revving. Seconds anyone? (from a recent sample collection of 18)

    I fell in love right away. This is such a well balanced perfume. It is all at the same time biting, pungent, inviting, tasty, and soft. Edible in a sexy way. I could get used to wearing this, a lot.
