It’s undoubtedly a milestone in Peruvian perfumery. You have to understand it and enjoy it. With time and use, I started to like it more.
This perfume has three distinct phases. At first, it smells of burnt rubber, very similar to Jacomo by Jacomo, and I didn’t like that opening. Minutes later, the rubbery scent drops and a sweetness rises. In the second stage, around an hour in, it smells of burnt and smoky nougat, which is what lasts the longest. Finally, close to the skin, it resembles Michael for Men, which is my favorite of the three. I expected something more sophisticated and original; while it’s not bad, I feel it lacks refinement and feels outdated, very 80s. It lasted 9 hours with moderate trail at first and close to the skin later. It’s formal and suited for cool climates. I tried it from a decant and only used it once; I don’t think I’ll use it again and will probably gift the decant. Cheers.
It develops in three phases. At first, it smells like a copy of Jacomo by Jacomo, with that burnt rubber scent that I don’t like. Then, that sensation fades, and a certain sweetness emerges, though the burnt touch persists. By the hour, the rubber smell disappears, leaving a burnt turron and smoky sweetness, which is the most lasting phase. Finally, at the skin level, it smells like Michael for Men, which is my favorite. I expected something more sophisticated and original; it feels dated and old-fashioned, reminiscent of Jacomo from the 80s. It lasts 9 hours with a moderate sillage of 4 hours. It’s formal and suited for cold climates. I tried it from a 5ml decant and only used it once; I don’t think I’ll use it again and will gift the decant.
Although I live in Peru, I didn’t know about this launch until two days later. A friend from Barcelona told me about it with enthusiasm, and I hunted it down immediately. From the first spray, I understood it’s an artistic creation evoking October’s religious festivities and the Señor de las Milagros. The performance is exceptional, exceeding expectations. The smoke from the incense burner is unmistakable, and you can detect notes of Peruvian desserts and liqueurs. It was a formidable surprise. It’s the first all-around Peruvian niche. Congratulations to Mauricio Carbajal, an expert who deserved recognition sooner.
I spotted Tradición during a livestream. Even though I didn’t know the brand, I was blown away by the bottle and cap quality; it even smelled intriguing before I even used it. Upon application, I felt a strange, natural balance of smoke, warmth, and green freshness. It lasted all day on my skin with just a few sprays. It doesn’t smell sweet to me, but others say a sugary note emerges hours later. It’s original, potent, and masculine—the scent of someone who knows their place. Perfect for cold, rainy, or snowy days; despite its smoky opening, it leaves a fresh vitality. If you collect fragrances, this one will surprise you.
I saw ‘Tradition’ at a live event with low expectations, but the presentation and bottle are top-notch. Upon application, I felt a smoky, warm, yet fresh blend with a green touch. I was surprised by how natural it smells. It’s very long-lasting; just a few sprays are enough, and it can stay on the skin until the next day. While I don’t detect the sweetness, others do feel it hours later. It’s original, potent, masculine, and smells like a ‘boss’—someone who knows their place. I recommend it for cold days, with snow or rain. Although the opening is smoky, it retains freshness and energy. If you collect fragrances, it will surprise you.
As a Peruvian perfume lover, I couldn’t ignore ‘Tradition’. For a Limeño, the notes are striking: they evoke the procession of the Señor de las Milagros and the seven churches. The perfumer Mauricio gifted me the new presentation, which is splendid. It opens with ash, incense, palo santo, and charcoal, balanced by spices. It smells like walking into a church in Lima in October. In the distance, you can detect turron, arroz con leche, and picarones (I don’t notice the mazamorra). As it dries, after an hour, it shifts from smoky to progressively sweet, with that exquisite turron and native desserts. It’s a delight evoking warmth and love. The performance is incredible: 14 hours on my skin, 6 hours of projection, and a heavy sillage reaching 3 meters. It’s a quality-price jewel. Not for summer, but perfect for winter and nights. If you like smoky scents or Peruvian tradition, try it and it will teleport you to October. Congratulations to Mauricio Carbajal for this nostalgia and joy.

I tried both the Peruvian and Spanish versions. The Peruvian one is intense, like a Sunday in October on Av. Tacna: a procession, charcoal, and grilled anticuchos. It’s smoky, powerful, and sparkling, projecting for 9-10 hours until it settles into spice and incense notes. However, I prefer the Spanish version: it has an elegant opening, the smoke is brief but present, and then very subtle sweet notes emerge. In my opinion, the Spanish version captures that procession incense scent better. A truly olfactory experience.
I met this at Nina Lamaison’s gallery at Osmotique in Argentina. There, ‘Tradition’ accompanied a dark, almost macabre art exhibition that I absolutely love. It felt like a fragrance charged with esoterism, as if it were part of an alchemy. It was the perfect complement to the art and an immediate must-buy. It smells of smoke, incense, spices, a hint of sweetness, and subtly like a boozy liqueur. It’s long-lasting with great projection and has earned many compliments from strangers. Alongside Pour Homme, it’s now one of my favorites. I’m already planning to buy Litoral to complete the trilogy.
After longing for it for so long, I finally got the EDP. Heads up: this isn’t for everyone. The opening is smoky, incense-like, and spicy, reminding me of Amouage’s Interlude Man (a kinder version, but just as intense). The evolution isn’t a straight-to-dessert vibe; it smells more like a boozy liqueur with grape notes and a milky touch, like a dessert spiked with alcohol. By the hour, the smoke fades, leaving a sweet base with a slight acidic kick, keeping that sweet cocktail energy. It’s elegant and definitely not for anyone under 30. I love it for how different it is. If you’re looking for comparisons: opening like Interlude, dry down similar to Layton, and a finish reminiscent of Tommy Iommi’s Monkey Special. It’s not the same, but that’s the direction it takes.
I encountered Tradición while exploring Nina Lamaison’s olfactory journey at Osmotique, accompanying a very dark, almost macabre artist that I absolutely loved. From the first moment, it felt like a fragrance charged with esotericism, as if I were in an alchemy lab. It was the perfect complement to the exhibition and an essential purchase. It smells of smoke, incense, spices, a subtle sweetness, and a hint of liquor. It’s long-lasting with great projection and has been one of the few scents strangers have praised. Alongside Pour Homme, these are my favorites; I just need to grab Litoral to complete the trilogy. Cheers.
Finally, I tried the EDP version after so long. It’s not for everyone, because its opening of incense, smoke, and spices reminds me of Amouage’s Interlude Man (a pleasant but distinct version). It’s not a dessert, though it has notes of rice pudding, mazamorra, and nougat; the gourmand aspect comes more from the liquor and grapes, giving it an intoxicating, milky dessert vibe. After an hour, the incense fades, leaving a sweet and slightly sour base. It’s elegant and difficult for anyone under 30. I like it for being different. To me, it’s a mix of Interlude (opening), Layton (evolution), and Tommy Iommi Monkey Special (dry down). It’s not the same, but that’s my reference point.
