Mbucuruya is not an ordinary fruity floral oriental. On my skin from the very first seconds Mbucuruya smells like sweet crackers. Later on somebody sprinkles fresh green parsley on it. In the base I get a sweet and mild crackers-parsley combo. Unusual, interesting. The staying power is very good.

rich, faty milk with tropical sweetness. it’s a wonderful scent, but it’s just *too* sweet for me. the sweetness is borderline sickening, you know? it may actually be the passionfruit here, but by and large, it’s just TOO darn sweet.
the milk is a nice touch. not enough milk in perfumery these days…

My latest new acquisition. This perfume is a vice. It is a strong presence but pleasant fragrance and is not heavy at all. In the opening and in the dry down can smell patchouli . For the duration of the fragrance (over 12 hours) feel the aroma of dry, sweet, fruit like prunes. Fully recommended. It become my new signature fragrance!!!!

This is sooooo strong, i am argentinian and fueguia’s scents are cheaper here so i usually get the 100ml. But with this one i got the 30ml, is so strong you wouldn’t use a full 100ml bottle in your entire life.

I was so excited to try this based on reviews that I made the mistake of purchasing a full bottle. This smells absolutely awful on me. I just get an overpowering, unpleasant, sickly sweet vanilla caramel scent. Maybe a hint of passion fruit but without the tangyness that makes real passionfruit so good. No citrus, nothing but saccharin condensed milk.

Not pleasant at all on application, but improves substantially over time. Actually, to me, it is quite offensive when first applied – an uneasy competition of sour milk and passionfruit flower. After a few minutes, a marshmallow note comes through, lessening but only slightly, the offensive sour milk smell.
After about a half hour, it settles down to a very appealing creamy, marshmallow scent. Quite a drastic transformation, of which the middle and ending I like very much.
This was from a sample of 10 EDP Fueguia frags that I ordered from Lucky Scent and it has made it to my purchase list. I will be purchasing the “absolut” concentration, not EDP, from the store in Buenos Aires. I will update the review if this concentration differs from EDP.

I wasn’t expecting to love Mbucuruya, but it’s turned out to be one of the best fruity fragrances I’ve ever tried. The milkiness is most noticeable when I first apply it – it’s sweet and creamy, a hint caramelized. Condensed milk is what comes to mind. The fruits are definitely what dominate this fragrance though, and they’re gorgeously realistic.
The juicy, bright, pulpy passionfruit and citrus are evident from the first spray, blooming wonderfully on my skin. Beneath the profusion of tropical fruit is a comforting tea-like, earthy base. Vibrant, delicious and unique, with great sillage and lasting power. It’s rare that I find a fruity fragrance I truly enjoy, but this is a standout fruity scent in a fragrance market that seems to be heavily saturated with mediocre fruity-florals. Mbucuruya went immediately onto my want list the first time I tried it.

Thanks to Wichapi, I got stuck into this line :)and my wallet will feel the ache of my experiences. This is the second out of four that I have sampled and this is the second one I really cannot do without. I am not much of a gourmand fan. I appreciate them for invoking happy feelings but generally find them too sweet and too simple. However, Fueguia proves that gourmand can rock the mind as well as the emotions. Yes the ingredient list is short and sweet but it doesn’t smell short nor too sweet. It starts off as a blast of passion fruit, heady and sweet, unmistakable passionfruit. As it dries down, it becomes this intoxicating smell that entranced me as much as it soothed me…finally my memory triggered, it smelt exactly like the sweet sour powder we Asians like to dip our slices of guava in or the powdered preserved plums that are favoured in South East Asia. This scent coloured my dreams beautifully for two nights in a row. The longevity and sillage are unquestionable even from a tiny sample. This one has hit the want list for sure.

Since I first read about Fueguia (right here on Fragrantica) I was obsessed with this company. I couldn’t wait to get one, or two or three! But which ones?
So after searching carefully, I decided to get Humboldt and Mbucuruya.
I’m a guy, so choosing mbucuruya was a little risky, even though the fragrance is unisex.
Well, it opens like a sweet passion fruit marmalade, or smoothie or any other sweet concoction. I’m surprised to not see any “honey”, “amber” or “vanilla” as an ingredient, because this is definitely a sweet perfume, I also detect something like ‘rum’.
You get a lot of passionfruit and a huge dose of sugar too.
It’s what its name implies, but is it unisex?
I have to say no, even though I like it and I would love to wear it, the whole time that I was testing Mbucuruya, I had the feeling that I was wearing a women’s fragrance.
Just to put it in a simple way, this is an exquisite, unique, with lots of personality fragrance and still a very sweet, sweet, sweet passionfruit.

Mbucuruya (Linneo Collection): passion fruit, citruses and milk. As the description states, this is a gourmand, uniquely created, but a gourmand nonetheless. However, “no sugar added”, just naturally and sedately sweet. The opening brought to mind a creamy anise, but the anise impression quickly dissipated. Very creamy without being silky, NO trace of vanilla (which would cheapen it), a bit smoky yet a trace of tartness which sits right at the top until the deeper aspects swirl up… somewhat woody at the base. While I’m not a fan of gourmand fragrances, this is one I truly enjoy! (from a recent offering of 18 samples)
