a perfect fresh incense for the hot season, maybe too lemon in the opening, it remind me the smell of detergent for dishes, but this effect lasts ten minutes on my skin then I smell only the incence. I think it is similar to Cardinal but Misiones is more fresh and light

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!

Smells surprisingly bright, pure and fresh as lemon enhances the sharp, zingy characteristics of the myrrh, while the nutmeg provides its own unique mouth-watering properties, creating a texture that feels cool and liquid, not smoky as I was expecting.
I will admit it is very similar to “Cardinal” by James Heeley, but in my opinion, smells much more invigorating and light on the skin. “Cardinal” becomes quite musky and tangy in the dry down phase due to its labdanum note.
I wouldn’t consider “Misiones” a winter scent. Far from it, I am finding that even an hour after application the freshness from the lemon and nutmeg continues to breathe, like rain droplets on the skin.
Nor would I categorize it as masculine or feminine either. “Misiones” is not a sexual scent, it is more atmospheric and evocative of something sacred and ancient. Perhaps it won’t stoke the fires of those who prefer more heavy, sultry incense compositions like “Sahara Noir”, but it’s not often you find an incense that can be worn in a casual, every day setting.
Very wearable.

Upon application you get a LOT of incense, but after a few minutes something watery that i cant put my finger on comes out and plays with the spicyness of the nutmeg, creating an intoxicating, sensual and exotic blend. It was my first Fueguia fragance and I definitely love it. NOT to be worn on hot days, more of a winter night scent. I considered ir a quite feminine fragance, but everybody else seems to classify it a a VERY masculine one, which came as a surprise for me. Ladies definitly love it and find it very appealing.
Overall, ir smells like an oriental church sunk in the majestic Iguazu waterfalls, precisely as it is intended to smell.
