Lucum Sour Extreme by Guille Scent Lover

If you love Lucuma, this is the perfume you’ve been waiting for; if you’ve never tried this Peruvian delight, it will blow your mind.

Among Mauricio Carbajal’s perfumes, I rank this almost on par with Tradition, even higher. A unique olfactory proposal where the concept matches reality: it starts with a lemon and Pisco Sour alcohol opening, giving way to the star note, Lucuma. Imagine an aged barrel Lucuma Pisco Sour, with cinnamon, a touch of tobacco and leather that give it density and a fascinating evolution; the Lucuma is noticeable from start to finish. It’s intense, classy, and niche quality, perfect for night. Lasts over 10 hours with strong projection, pure beastmode. The downside is the biased and speculative marketing behind it. The price started between 250 and 300 soles, acceptable, but then the seller, Guille Scent Lover, changed the box and label (the bottle stayed the same) and claimed the ingredients were improved, when it’s the same perfume. Oh, surprise!, the price jumped 100% to 600 soles, fluctuating between 400 and 600 for no apparent reason. It seems Guille bases the price on the stock market or gold, taking advantage of the fact that Lucuma is the ‘gold of the Incas’ (sarcasm 😂). The perfume is good, no doubt, but don’t take advantage of consumers. It’s made in Peru, it’s not Dior or Chanel 😅.

Lucum Sour Extreme kicks off straight with lucuma, a point just right between real fruit and dessert synthetic, nothing ultra-realistic but also not like yogurt. The Pisco Sour, despite the name, isn’t an aggressive alcohol but a light companion alongside the lemon; that citrus freshness reigns for up to two hours. Then, the woods take over, enhancing the natural woody side of the lucuma. At four hours, barely noticeable is a touch of tobacco that adds subtle warmth, with no leather at any point. In terms of longevity, with my pH, it has passed 18 hours and still going; strong projection for the first 2h30, then drops to a personal bubble at the seventh hour and skin scent by the eleventh. I see it for all year round, except extreme cold or heat: fresh for summer and sweet for winter. Ideal for informal events, parties, or summer evening dates, but not for nightclubs or closed offices. It’s innovative for being almost unique in integrating lucuma, although I would have preferred a warmer, gourmand version with vanilla or chocolate like a dessert. Guille might try again, but for now it’s a curious proposal that I encourage you to try.

What a pity it hasn’t reached Chile yet, because it’s by far the most organic perfume I’ve tried, surpassing others from YouTubers. A great bet by Mauricio Carvajal to recreate the scent of Lucuma. 100% Latino, 100% realistic quality in a bottle. The projection is above average, and the longevity on skin is as remarkable as Dior Homme Intense or Black Orchid. Given its structure, I’d wear it daily in winter, occasionally in autumn, and on cold spring nights. 10/10.

It smells very similar to Acqua di Parma’s Mirra. You can detect the tobacco note. The quality is good, but it hasn’t surprised me. I’ll have to try it more.

What an amazing scent, an incredible opening! That fruity touch of lucuma, a native Peruvian fruit, is creamy and stays with you all day. The lemon and pisco give it that special kick, pure Peruvian cocktail vibes, like a Pisco Sour. Then comes the cinnamon for the perfect sweetness, with hints of tobacco, leather, and woods that make it super pleasant. Powerful trail and world-class performance, huge congratulations.

I have the decant. It’s a masterpiece. It will definitely be my next purchase.

Lucum Sour Extreme by Mauricio Carbajal is a powerful fragrance that opens sweet and citrusy; from the first spray you notice the lucuma, while the pisco sour note balances and refreshes everything. Although the lucuma is sweet, it’s not cloying, it’s very close to a gourmand. Over time the woods emerge but the lucuma persists until the dry down. It’s an Eau de Parfum that easily lasts 10 hours and projects well for the first 4-6 hours. I recommend dosing it because it’s potent; 4 sprays fill a room. It’s a unique aroma thanks to the lucuma that grabs attention and generates reactions; it’s a perfume with a cheerful spirit, a couple of sprays improve your mood and give energy. Ideal for nights and cold days.

Lucum Sour Extreme is my first perfume by Mauricio Carbajal and I adore it. After researching a lot, I discovered that lucuma, so delicious, had never touched perfumery, so I asked Mauricio if we could recreate it. I wanted to contrast it with my favorite drink, the Peruvian pisco sour, made with premium grape pisco. Mauricio sent me many samples and little by little we refined it until I was surprised; the memories it evokes are incredible, since with this native fruit many desserts are made in Peru. An expert like Mauricio managed to materialize an aroma I desired but didn’t know how to create. We’ve tested it with almost everyone and the acceptance has been huge, leaving many perplexed. The smell of lucuma and pisco sour at the opening is incredible, and after a few hours it yields to aged woods that give the sensation of opening an old cabinet full of liquors. Sensational. As a perfume enthusiast, I say this fragrance stands up to the great creations. I have many perfumes and it’s surprising what has been achieved. Bravo Mauricio!
