Probably La Cautiva is one of the best gourmands you can find. It’s sweet and edible, yet nothing too invasive; a perfect balance between vanilla, fruity/spirity, and caramel notes. It feels natural, solid, and very long-lasting. I love it; it reminds me of crème brûlée or vanilla flan. The only ones that come close are Fire at Will by Jovoy and Andalusian Soul by TMOV, but this one from Fueguía is superior in ingredients. Although the price-to-quality ratio is tricky, I personally believe the high price is worth it because it’s so suggestively delicious, or at least worth a try if you’re a fan of the profile. Rating: 9.5/10. Format ‘Composition Log’, Fueguía Chile. Thanks to Melanie.

As Borges would say in ‘The History of the Two Who Dreamed’, sometimes the greatest treasure lies in the ‘bottom of your own garden’ and not in a ‘distant land’. In that regard, La Cautiva and Fueguia 1833 were a delightful surprise: high-quality niche Argentine perfumery. We let ourselves be swept up by trends, thinking the best is always abroad, but sometimes it’s the opposite. Fueguía is artisanal, using natural ingredients from Argentina at friendly prices here (though expensive abroad). Their philosophy is sustainable, and the quality proves it. The house pays homage to the history of cultural clashes, from Misiones to Darwin. La Cautiva, based on Echeverría’s work, is a controversial but beautiful perfume. It’s not floral-fruity as Fragrantica claims, but a musky gourmand with vanilla and blackcurrants. It’s simple yet complex, sensual and tender all at once. Thanks to the blackcurrants, it avoids being cloying, airing out the blend. Intoxicating sweetness, nothing heavy. Scent: 8.5/10, Sillage: 7/10, Longevity: 7/10, Versatility: 7/10.

Another different fragrance from Fueguia 1833. The curious thing is that those who almost never wear perfume are the ones who highlight it. The blend of vanilla with blackcurrants is pleasant, sweet, and bitter at the same time, very well balanced. I’d love to wear it right now, with lower temperatures, but it’s hot in Argentina right now. Good projection and longevity. First-rate raw materials, nothing generic. Another masterpiece from Fueguía. La Cautiva gets 10 points. Warm regards from Argentina.

It’s a fascinating perfume. My selection was the absolute; every product in this line is intoxicating, its goal is clearly the effect it causes on the wearer. Artistically unsurpassed.
