Huemul gets much of its character from massoia bark, a note that is listed on Fueguia’s website but not here. The massoia adds a sweet woodiness to the composition, which explains pepperoniann’s rooibos comparison below. It also gives the lactonic aspects mentioned by theLady.
The musk can be perceived as harsh if you are sensitive to certain molecules. My boss detects this scent even if I only wear one spray (and not in a positive way, unfortunatly). Other colleagues can barely smell it at all.
If it wasn’t for that grumpy boss of mine, I would gladly wear this every day during autumn and winter. It suits my personality and makes me feel relaxed and grounded. As a perfume creation it is somewhat “rugged”, but so am I so it doesn’t matter 😉
Huemul also brings back memories. I bought it in Fueguia’s flagship store in Buenos Aires after weeks of travelling in Chile and Argentina, including a breathtaking bus trip over the Andes Mountains – home of the beautiful (and sadly threatened) huemul deer.

From afar this is the most realistic brewed rooibos tea scent I’ve smelled. period. Huemul captures the herbal facet and the aquatic moisture of tea leaves well. This has a tinge of herbal sweetness. Close-up though the musk can smell too sharp and unrefined, and the experience isn’t as pleasant. I don’t think this is something I can wear and enjoy smelling all day.
Very interesting composition regardless.

I tested this blind, and I quite enjoyed it. It had a dynamic opening, with notes of pear, pineapple, and a lovely floral note all happening quite quickly. Milky notes followed, a lactonic fig impression. It dried down with leather and a leathery, vetivery musk.
One of the more interesting things I’ve smelled in my blind testing project for 2018.

A modern, synthetic, woody-musk with (very) subtle floral facets. If you expect something in the same vein as Musk Tonkin or Muscs Koublai Khan, stay well away from Huemul. This fragrance is closer, both in concept and execution, to certain deliveries by Geza Schoen or Le Labo’s Another 13. Animalic and musky in the meaning of woodyamber or ambergris as opposed to the fecal aspect of other warmer musk-driven fragrances such as the Lutens or the Parfum D’Empire.
Too simple.
