🎉Congratulations Marcelo Maté100🎉 Am enjoying a couple of the Fueguia range available at Myer ;unsure of the names as so darned hard to see in store with the lights.

CONGRATS Marcelo 100 mate talks and honestly i have replayed most of them 😂😂😂 Its really nice to see the satisfaction on your face when something goes well ❤! I didnt even seen the video because its allways great to talk and write to you and yeah to be as fast as possible to have a response 😂😂 Keep it up my man as always love all your videos A giant hug form Portugal ❤❤
Awesome to hear from you and loving your 2 recommendations....unfortunately for me, we don't have these brands in Australia🥲 I just had a look at Kierin NYC and I love the aesthetics of this brand....looks like a super cool concept, would be keen to try out their fragrance's Thanks for reaching out and putting these on my radar 💫👊🏽
Love the channel! Could you please please do more Fueguia focused episodes and in depth impressions on more of your favorites from this house. I absolutely adore Biblioteca de Babel, Los Humos Sagrados, and Tagore! Puro and Seis Accordes are also beautiful, but there are so many that I love and would be thrilled to hear your detailed thoughts and impressions for many more of their offerings. Thanks for the great content and enthusiasm!
I see that I have found another 'true believer' on all things Fueguia♥️ Yes! I too love this House (apart from the fact that they are fellow countrymen from Argentina🇦🇷), they have an incredible collection of fragrance's! Not sure if you saw this production of the Milan Boutique: ua-cam.com/video/pka0wgiYHkg/v-deo.html Plus I've created some other episodes with Fueguia's in the line up: Rose: ua-cam.com/video/7eT4FR388PM/v-deo.html Oud: ua-cam.com/video/sTi3xAd4_Lo/v-deo.html Thanks for reaching out @Lange15270, greatly appreciate the support 💫🥰
Thanks for the link! I’m so excited to go back and check out the Milan boutique video. I went through a bunch of your videos and found some Fueguia reviews scattered amongst the episodes which I also really enjoyed. I couldn’t love Fueguia more! I adore the natural inspiration they take from Patagonia and around the world. As a nature lover and avid hiker they speak to me so deeply. Many of their fragrances transport me to the most incredible natural history landscapes and ecosystems around the world. I can totally see how the Argentina connection speaks to you as well. I had a similar initial impression to what you mentioned in the video. I randomly stopped in the boutique in SoHo NY in 2013-14 and was overwhelmed and due to the prices felt that it was out of reach at the time. However, on several trips to Japan, I visited the boutiques in Tokyo and became absolutely enchanted by the inspiration, story-telling, and beauty of the fragrances and aesthetics of the brand. It’s pure magic. Despite the language barrier they were so welcoming and knowledgeable hosting me and taking through the vast collection. Overall, love your taste in fragrance, your impressions, descriptions, and curated recommendations. I love fragrance deeply and your enthusiasm and passion has introduced me to so many new avenues to explore in the fragrance world. Many many thanks! Will keep exploring your back catalogue and future content to come! 🙏🏼 I’m putting together a short diverse list of some of my favorites from Fueguia to share. ❤
Thank you again for the Fueguia content! The most beautiful natural fragrances in the world with truly inspired storytelling from the most magical ecosystems and anthropology across the history of the world. Here are some of my favorites, however, every creation deserves to be thoughtfully experienced. Alba - Beautiful fresh, dry, green and woody natural fragrance inspired by the Scottish Highlands but also perfectly captures the coastal brush of the Northern California coast that I hike in weekly. The balance of the light sweetness of heather, juniper berries, and bog myrtle is spectacularly natural and transportive. Ambar de los Andes - Unique take on an amber/resinous fragrance with icy aqua and mineral notes inspired by the hidden ice caves deep in the Andes. As deep lover of amber/resinous fragrances and the glaciers and mountains of Patagonia, this is one of a kind and transcendent. Bibiloteca de Babel - My favorite fragrance from Fueguia. The mix of woods and dry cinnamon bark/spice in this fragrance is so comforting and magical. El Mono de la Tinta - Similar to Biblioteca de Babel but with more incense, sandalwood, nutmeg, and a touch of black pepper and tuberose. Inspired by old paper, ink, woods, love poems written by candlelight. If you love Biblioteca de Babel you have to experience this one. Seis Acordes - Gorgeous freshly worked and richly lacquered cypress and cedarwood, olibanum, tobacco. Inspired by Leonard Cohens guitar. Chamber - Extraordinary cold green wet stone and soil. Touch of mate leaf! One of the most extraordinary green scents I've ever come across. Not always wearable but when I am in the mood or as a concept an absolutely extraordinary one of a kind petrichor/oakmoss fragrance. Ett Hem- This was my gateway to Fueguia as it was the house fragrance at Ett Hem Hotel in Stockholm. I was provided a bottle to use during my stay and was instantly entranced. Norway spruce, pine resins. sandalwood, and black pepper. Similar to Biblioteca de Babel but much more pine and pepper forward. Hauntingly beautiful fall and winter fragrance. Takes me back immediately to the most extraordinary hotel experience of my life. Pampa Humeda - Medicinal green fragrance with natural haunting gorgeous camphor. Instantly relaxing and meditative spa-like comfort. Highly recommended! Duenas de un corpa - The most beautiful amber resinous oud centered fragrance I have come across in my explorations. Rich, raw, and sensual. Puro - Much like Arabica is for coffee, the most natural tobacco centered fragrance in the world. Green, spicy, woody, with the most balanced natural honeyed vanilla sweetness. If you enjoy tobacco forward fragrances, this is one to absolutely seek out. Misiones - Beautiful crystal clear orthodox incense - olibanum, opoponax, and myrrh with bright watery lemon notes and nutmeg spice. La Luna- Similarly natural crystal clear orthodox style incense without the water/lemon notes of Misiones. The most simple but perfectly crafted incense fragrance in the world.
Hey Marcelo! Like you wife, La Cautiva captured my heart on first sniff. I’ve not smelt anything like it and got hooked on the initial anise note OUT of THiS WORLD good. I’ve bought 3 backup bottles (seriously, I have). Arabica is on my hit list but waiting for a lotto win for that one. Always love listening to your reviews. Love your passion for fragrance!
Great to hear from you Sheryl and I love that you're picking up an anise note on the opening 😮 I'm going to have to observe this on next use♥️ Appreciate the words of encouragement and support....thank you💫
Congrats! Now to 100k subscribers! Libertine has Fueguia on sale, I am about to make a couple blind buys here Marcelo, all in the name of Sparta! How is the longevity?
THIS IS SPARTA ⚔️ Overall, longevity is amazing but like all fragrance's this will vary depending on the fragrances that you choose. Which ones are you looking at and if I have it my collection I can provide some guidance
Hello Marcello, from Atlanta Georgia. Love your channel brother, and Congrats on the Big 100🎉🎊 I've been subscribed for a long time. My question is: What brand of watch is that you're wearing? It is Awesome man. Love your style.✌🏿
Hello, Marcelo! I'm glad that this series it didn't stop at some point or another. Out of curiosity, what is the most expensive fragrances that you have? And also can you make a mate talk about it? I really want to know because in Romania a bottle of Naxos for example it's twelve hundred in our currency, we're not using euros. Also Baz by Spirit of Dubai is 4k in RON, which is as much as a high performance laptop.
Let me just say you’re the best! Barely inside the door and already you’re calling out something that others have already flagged with me😂 I like the bings!🥺 But happy to say that I have now transformed them into soft gongs 🧘🏽♂️ Hopefully this makes the grade 🙏🏽🙄
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector lol it’s friendly criticism is all. Not trying to be rude I promise❤️ and like I said it was my first time encountering your channel. So I will view the newer ones as you say you have pivoted from a ding to a dong! Hhahahaha ❤️
Absolutely! Would never take any offense… I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and you’re not being rude in the slightest. If you watch one of the more recent Mate Talks you’ll hear the new iteration on the sound… Will be curious to hear your honest thoughts on this 🤔
Hi I am new to niche perfumes and I am looking for a spring /summer scent. Shall i start within Xerjoff (please recommend one) or Initio's (please also recommendation is appreciated). Note: I like unique fragrances that are not very floral and sweet :)
@@EdsProlixe Thank you for helping me out. I have fragrances I love: "Magenta Tanzanite" for winter but I do not have a Spring Summer one. I feel that Magenta is too much for warm weather. I do not like Tuberose or intense sweet floral fragrances. The ones from Designers smell all alike to me. I was tempted to try the Torino 22 because the notes are very unique. What do you think? Is it too green?
@@EdsProlixe Thank you for helping me out. I love Magenta Tanzanite (tobacco , ginger, bergamot, cardamom, cinnamon) so you can say warm and spicy. For Summer this is too much, so I need an unique fragrance that can be fresh (not smelling like lemon detergent) not sweet (some floral scents are too sickly for me). I also like amber, and sandalwood, freesia and jasmine I am ok with :) I was contemplating Torino 22 because I find the notes very unique, just not sure if it would be too "green"
This isn't one that I have in my collection...haven't had a chance to test as yet. I'm guessing that this might be in your collection? Would love to hear your thoughts on it @sherwood9917 💫
I know I don’t always comment. Not really I commenter 😂 but I wanted to say from on of your first members (I think I was one of the first ten) congratulations. Your enthusiasm is infectious and has lead to great content and even better recommendations!! Again, congrats on the #100 and now on to #1,000!! I’ll be there the whole way
Hey Ryan, sorry for the very late reply! Just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU mate for all your support and yes, you're one of the OG's when it comes to the membership on the channel (thank you mate👊🏽) Thanks again Ryan💫
Hi Marcelo, as usual great video! I have a question brother. I saw a good deal on Jubilation 25 on one of the websites here in India. I am little confused as to whether to purchase it, as I already have few perfumes from Amouage including Interlude and Journey Man. I want to venture into Ex Nihilo since I do not have a single perfume from that brand. What would be your suggestion?
Awesome to hear from you Aditya and thank you for your support my brother 🙏🏽 I would strongly recommend to you Jubilation XXV; you will not regret this fragrance and it's very different to both Interlude and Journey. I never encourage blind buying, always recommend that you test first; but I will leave this decision with you my friend 😬 Thank you for reaching out👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thank you so much for taking time out and clarifying my query! I blind bought it from the website, I trust your judgement. I went to a store and sampled some Ex Nihilo perfumes in the meanwhile, to be not too opinionated, I will say, they were just fine! Citizen X, Amber Sky and French Affair which was very slutty😅
I actually loved reading your comment Pablo (especially the line "not even for free" 😂) Like I mentioned in this episode; they're different. The compositions are unique and in a lot of cases, not fragrances that you just walk up to and instantly fall in love (like a Xerjoff)....but I feel that's the beauty of the Fueguia's ♥️ One day we need to walk into the Milano boutique together and I would love to share some of my favourites with you and why I love them...that would be a fun day😎 Thanks again for reaching out Pablo, and as mentioned, really appreciate you sharing your comments👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thank you very much for your answer and the invitation! When we meet, I will buy you a bottle of Pulperia! JAJA Yes, the Milano boutique is far better than those you can find in Buenos Aires or Jose Ignacio! Saludos desde Uruguay!!!
On the live: think the issue with it is that it came off too monologue-like. I'm fairly certain you know many of the fragrances anyone can bring on, those are situations where you should tap in to make it more of a discussion. Then again, it appeared to me that there were some technical questions (somebody must've had a delay because you were intentionally trying to avoid speaking over anyone). I think the funniest thing about Fueguia is the low ratings they have everywhere. Like they pride themselves in being practically inaccessible, but the product they make clearly isn't respected even by the hardcore fans. I would love for them to have a sample kit, I'd literally get like a 30x2ml just to see if there's anything actually there or not. I did this with Masque Milano and I can honestly say there's not much there outside of their more-known releases. Still want to try that Arabica scent you've showed before though.
Señor DivineFrag🫡 Yes, I hear you on the comments regarding the LIVE. Great feedback, noted for next time. First go at anything is always going to be a bit wobbly. The greatest teacher is always experience and 'doing' I'm already looking forward to Round 2 on 24th/25th March🥳 I know you've expressed previously that the Fueguia's are hard to find. Although you guys in the US are blessed to have 2 boutiques in NYC to explore. I just had a look and they deliver across the US, plus you can design your own sample set: fueguia.shop/products/exploration-box (which is a fun experience to do in store). My recommendation is still to go into store if you can as this will allow the exploration and easy reach to the entire collection. Personally, I've never listened too intently on the comments of others (maybe it's the Latino "don't tell me what do" spirit in me🙄) I enjoy it as a 'guide' but I'm all about personal experience. I've found that the deeper I explore this House the more I fallen in love with these creations. I'm really looking forward to bringing to life the deep dive into the Fueguia 1833 fragrance's with the upcoming episodes planned. Always great to read your comments homie; appreciate you taking the time to share 💫👊🏽
With all due respect I think you are focusing too much on Xerjoff. You should do an analysis of how many videos you have about Xerjoff fragrances you would be surprised. I would love to hear your take on other fragrance houses.
Say it ain't so!!! Too much focus on Xerjoff!!?? But what if I'm in love and can't help myself?? How can I walk away?😩 😢 But you're right, balance is also important! Promise that I have a line up of other fragrance House's that I also adore coming up (this Mate Talk is a good example of my deep love for Fueguia too; I have about 3 episodes planned to further explore this House), along with a number of other lesser known brands that I would like to spotlight. I'm guessing you've seen the other work that I've done across the channel showcasing other House's that I love..?

Thanks for reaching out @2400N0RDV35T, great to hear from you💫👊🏽
I enjoy your videos and style so much. I’ve drank 🧉 since 2019 after visiting Argentina the first time. I’m intrigued by your Beast Mode videos as well as the comment your wife made about “big girl” perfume. Do you have videos directed more towards beast mode fragrances that lean feminine? Those would be interesting Beast Slayers. Thank you for sharing your work.
Congratulations on the 100th Maté Talk! I postponed watching this because I couldn't drink Maté for a couple of days, the experience is not the same without Maté. 🤩 I love seeing the footage of the Fueguia Meetup with Lee and me and hope we do this over sometime. Next time there I'm going to focus on the 🎖5 Star General Oudh fragrances of Julian Bedel 🎖 As a Niche House I think for me Fueguia is at the top of the list! The fragrances are so glorious and unique (because of his self-learned perfumery, unique extraction methods and unique perfume notes), the bottles are also above anything I've seen or had so far (even above Clive Christian and Fragrance du Bois for me), the best sprayers and the best packaging. As a celebration of the 100th episode I went over my budget and ordered samples of Fueguia - Thays Fueguia - Juan Manuel Fueguia - Dunas de un Cuerpo Floraïku - Between Two Trees Matiere Premiere - Vanilla Powder I wore the sample of Los Humos Sagrados today which I got at the meetup from Fueguia, and you nailed it again with your description, at first I got a really green fragrance, like Viride but now I'm getting the glorious smoky experience, I can't detect the Oudh, or better to say a normal Oudh smell, because it is like an cameleon (I don't know how to explain it) that can adapt to the other notes and improve or boost the smell. And thank you for all these 100 Maté talks, I watched and enjoyed every one
You have no idea how happy seeing this message come through made me feel. I echo your sentiment Sem that I too loved seeing the photo's of our meet up in the Fueguia boutique along with you, Lee and Luke...I have awesome memories of this moment in time and as I was editing this episode and revisiting these photo's it burst my mind with a massive ray of sunshine☀️ I look forward to doing this again one day (maybe next year! 🤔) I also enjoyed reading your comments on the Fueguia's and I have to agree with all your comments; apart from the fragrance's themselves, their bottles and sprayers are incredible (best in the game!) The collection of samples that you listed are all "Pure Magic" in my book and I look forward to gaining your insight once you've had a chance to test and experience them. Thank you again Sem for your words of encouragement, support and wonderful positive energy💫⚡️...thank you homie👊🏽
Suffice it to say, maté talk is a success!
Ah yes, and it's thanks to you and everyone else that is enjoying this style of content🙏🏽🧡 Thank you Alex for all your support💫

😂 🤏🏾 close. Congratulations Marcelo on 100 episodes!! Going to pour up some 🧉 in celebration when I get home from work today 😁
Everytime!!! 🙃
Thanks for the encouragement and support Shawn 👊🏽 Send me a DM with your address, I'm going to send you that Une Nuit Nomade discovery set...you're going to love it 🎉
Marcelo, trying to catch up on my backlog. Congrats on 100! Best wishes from America. You’re the best and thanks for the education.
Thank you Nate💫 What an awesome comment to read🙏🏽 I'm glad that you're enjoying the content, very much appreciate the support @nateriley4067 👊🏽
Congrats! Great lay out, even if I haven't tried them all. But Xocoatl is one of the two fragrances I got from that meet up!
Merci Beaucoup mon Prof🙏🏽 Yes, I remember you falling in love with Xocoatl when we were there (just quietly, I was quoting you in this Mate Talk when it comes to the Fueguia's 😉...and then you walked out with 2😂)
Always good to hear from you mate👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector yes, 2 (😂) Wearing beagle today. And indeed, I was like « I know this story 🤔 »…
CONGRATS Marcelo 100 mate talks and honestly i have replayed most of them 😂😂😂
Its really nice to see the satisfaction on your face when something goes well ❤!
I didnt even seen the video because its allways great to talk and write to you and yeah to be as fast as possible to have a response 😂😂
Keep it up my man as always love all your videos
A giant hug form Portugal ❤❤
Sir do try house of Kierin NYC ( Sunday Brunch ) & Supernova from house of Aaron Terence Hughes. 💙
Awesome to hear from you and loving your 2 recommendations....unfortunately for me, we don't have these brands in Australia🥲
I just had a look at Kierin NYC and I love the aesthetics of this brand....looks like a super cool concept, would be keen to try out their fragrance's
Thanks for reaching out and putting these on my radar 💫👊🏽
Thanks for explaining the Fueguia scientific approach! I have 4 of their perfumes. I had to narrow it down from 7 possibles when I was in Milan. 😄
Boom Baby!!⚡️🧡 Congrats on exploring the Milano Boutique...how glorious is this place! Curious to know which ones made the short list?
Apologies! Was traveling. I got Juan Manuel, La Cautiva, Quilombo, Cuentas de la Selva, and Valley de la Luna!
Awesome collection Vivian the only one that I don’t know is Cuentos de la Selva…🤔 clearly I need to rectify this😉
Love the channel! Could you please please do more Fueguia focused episodes and in depth impressions on more of your favorites from this house. I absolutely adore Biblioteca de Babel, Los Humos Sagrados, and Tagore! Puro and Seis Accordes are also beautiful, but there are so many that I love and would be thrilled to hear your detailed thoughts and impressions for many more of their offerings. Thanks for the great content and enthusiasm!
I see that I have found another 'true believer' on all things Fueguia♥️ Yes! I too love this House (apart from the fact that they are fellow countrymen from Argentina🇦🇷), they have an incredible collection of fragrance's!
Not sure if you saw this production of the Milan Boutique: ua-cam.com/video/pka0wgiYHkg/v-deo.html
Plus I've created some other episodes with Fueguia's in the line up:
Rose: ua-cam.com/video/7eT4FR388PM/v-deo.html
Oud: ua-cam.com/video/sTi3xAd4_Lo/v-deo.html
Thanks for reaching out @Lange15270, greatly appreciate the support 💫🥰
Thanks for the link! I’m so excited to go back and check out the Milan boutique video. I went through a bunch of your videos and found some Fueguia reviews scattered amongst the episodes which I also really enjoyed. I couldn’t love Fueguia more! I adore the natural inspiration they take from Patagonia and around the world. As a nature lover and avid hiker they speak to me so deeply. Many of their fragrances transport me to the most incredible natural history landscapes and ecosystems around the world. I can totally see how the Argentina connection speaks to you as well.
I had a similar initial impression to what you mentioned in the video. I randomly stopped in the boutique in SoHo NY in 2013-14 and was overwhelmed and due to the prices felt that it was out of reach at the time. However, on several trips to Japan, I visited the boutiques in Tokyo and became absolutely enchanted by the inspiration, story-telling, and beauty of the fragrances and aesthetics of the brand. It’s pure magic. Despite the language barrier they were so welcoming and knowledgeable hosting me and taking through the vast collection.
Overall, love your taste in fragrance, your impressions, descriptions, and curated recommendations. I love fragrance deeply and your enthusiasm and passion has introduced me to so many new avenues to explore in the fragrance world. Many many thanks! Will keep exploring your back catalogue and future content to come! 🙏🏼
I’m putting together a short diverse list of some of my favorites from Fueguia to share. ❤
Thank you again for the Fueguia content! The most beautiful natural fragrances in the world with truly inspired storytelling from the most magical ecosystems and anthropology across the history of the world. Here are some of my favorites, however, every creation deserves to be thoughtfully experienced.
Alba - Beautiful fresh, dry, green and woody natural fragrance inspired by the Scottish Highlands but also perfectly captures the coastal brush of the Northern California coast that I hike in weekly. The balance of the light sweetness of heather, juniper berries, and bog myrtle is spectacularly natural and transportive.
Ambar de los Andes - Unique take on an amber/resinous fragrance with icy aqua and mineral notes inspired by the hidden ice caves deep in the Andes. As deep lover of amber/resinous fragrances and the glaciers and mountains of Patagonia, this is one of a kind and transcendent.
Bibiloteca de Babel - My favorite fragrance from Fueguia. The mix of woods and dry cinnamon bark/spice in this fragrance is so comforting and magical.
El Mono de la Tinta - Similar to Biblioteca de Babel but with more incense, sandalwood, nutmeg, and a touch of black pepper and tuberose. Inspired by old paper, ink, woods, love poems written by candlelight. If you love Biblioteca de Babel you have to experience this one.
Seis Acordes - Gorgeous freshly worked and richly lacquered cypress and cedarwood, olibanum, tobacco. Inspired by Leonard Cohens guitar.
Chamber - Extraordinary cold green wet stone and soil. Touch of mate leaf! One of the most extraordinary green scents I've ever come across. Not always wearable but when I am in the mood or as a concept an absolutely extraordinary one of a kind petrichor/oakmoss fragrance.
Ett Hem- This was my gateway to Fueguia as it was the house fragrance at Ett Hem Hotel in Stockholm. I was provided a bottle to use during my stay and was instantly entranced. Norway spruce, pine resins. sandalwood, and black pepper. Similar to Biblioteca de Babel but much more pine and pepper forward. Hauntingly beautiful fall and winter fragrance. Takes me back immediately to the most extraordinary hotel experience of my life.
Pampa Humeda - Medicinal green fragrance with natural haunting gorgeous camphor. Instantly relaxing and meditative spa-like comfort. Highly recommended!
Duenas de un corpa - The most beautiful amber resinous oud centered fragrance I have come across in my explorations. Rich, raw, and sensual.
Puro - Much like Arabica is for coffee, the most natural tobacco centered fragrance in the world. Green, spicy, woody, with the most balanced natural honeyed vanilla sweetness. If you enjoy tobacco forward fragrances, this is one to absolutely seek out.
Misiones - Beautiful crystal clear orthodox incense - olibanum, opoponax, and myrrh with bright watery lemon notes and nutmeg spice.
La Luna- Similarly natural crystal clear orthodox style incense without the water/lemon notes of Misiones. The most simple but perfectly crafted incense fragrance in the world.
Hey Marcelo! Like you wife, La Cautiva captured my heart on first sniff. I’ve not smelt anything like it and got hooked on the initial anise note OUT of THiS WORLD good. I’ve bought 3 backup bottles (seriously, I have). Arabica is on my hit list but waiting for a lotto win for that one. Always love listening to your reviews. Love your passion for fragrance!
Great to hear from you Sheryl and I love that you're picking up an anise note on the opening 😮 I'm going to have to observe this on next use♥️
Appreciate the words of encouragement and support....thank you💫
Congrats! Now to 100k subscribers!
Libertine has Fueguia on sale, I am about to make a couple blind buys here Marcelo, all in the name of Sparta! How is the longevity?
THIS IS SPARTA ⚔️
Overall, longevity is amazing but like all fragrance's this will vary depending on the fragrances that you choose.
Which ones are you looking at and if I have it my collection I can provide some guidance
Hello Marcello, from Atlanta Georgia. Love your channel brother, and Congrats on the Big 100🎉🎊 I've been subscribed for a long time. My question is: What brand of watch is that you're wearing? It is Awesome man. Love your style.✌🏿
Hello, Marcelo! I'm glad that this series it didn't stop at some point or another. Out of curiosity, what is the most expensive fragrances that you have? And also can you make a mate talk about it? I really want to know because in Romania a bottle of Naxos for example it's twelve hundred in our currency, we're not using euros. Also Baz by Spirit of Dubai is 4k in RON, which is as much as a high performance laptop.
First time I’ve landed here. Just friendly commentary…But I wish there wasn’t so many dings!! 🛎️ Ding! Ding, ding, dings 🛎️ 😂
Let me just say you’re the best! Barely inside the door and already you’re calling out something that others have already flagged with me😂
I like the bings!🥺
But happy to say that I have now transformed them into soft gongs 🧘🏽♂️
Hopefully this makes the grade 🙏🏽🙄
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector lol it’s friendly criticism is all. Not trying to be rude I promise❤️ and like I said it was my first time encountering your channel. So I will view the newer ones as you say you have pivoted from a ding to a dong! Hhahahaha ❤️
Absolutely! Would never take any offense… I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and you’re not being rude in the slightest.
If you watch one of the more recent Mate Talks you’ll hear the new iteration on the sound… Will be curious to hear your honest thoughts on this 🤔
Juan Manuel from Fueguia sounds it could have some similarities with “Adonis awakens” from Argos
Hi I am new to niche perfumes and I am looking for a spring /summer scent. Shall i start within Xerjoff (please recommend one) or Initio's (please also recommendation is appreciated).
Note: I like unique fragrances that are not very floral and sweet :)
Xerjoff Torino 21 or Renaissance are both fantastic options, Nishane Wulong Cha is beautiful as well. 🙌🏻
@@SirSillageSniffington Thank you so much for the recommendations !!!!
May I ask what types of fragrances you favour? I may be able to make suggestions based on what you enjoy (I know Xerjoff's stuff fairly well).
@@EdsProlixe Thank you for helping me out. I have fragrances I love: "Magenta Tanzanite" for winter but I do not have a Spring Summer one. I feel that Magenta is too much for warm weather. I do not like Tuberose or intense sweet floral fragrances. The ones from Designers smell all alike to me. I was tempted to try the Torino 22 because the notes are very unique. What do you think? Is it too green?
@@EdsProlixe Thank you for helping me out.
I love Magenta Tanzanite (tobacco , ginger, bergamot, cardamom, cinnamon) so you can say warm and spicy. For Summer this is too much, so I need an unique fragrance that can be fresh (not smelling like lemon detergent) not sweet (some floral scents are too sickly for me).
I also like amber, and sandalwood, freesia and jasmine I am ok with :)
I was contemplating Torino 22 because I find the notes very unique, just not sure if it would be too "green"
Marcelo, have you tried "Nocturna" by Fueguia? If so, what are your impressions of it? Thanks.
This isn't one that I have in my collection...haven't had a chance to test as yet. I'm guessing that this might be in your collection? Would love to hear your thoughts on it @sherwood9917 💫
I know I don’t always comment. Not really I commenter 😂 but I wanted to say from on of your first members (I think I was one of the first ten) congratulations. Your enthusiasm is infectious and has lead to great content and even better recommendations!! Again, congrats on the #100 and now on to #1,000!! I’ll be there the whole way
Hey Ryan, sorry for the very late reply!
Just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU mate for all your support and yes, you're one of the OG's when it comes to the membership on the channel (thank you mate👊🏽)
Thanks again Ryan💫
Hi Marcelo, as usual great video! I have a question brother. I saw a good deal on Jubilation 25 on one of the websites here in India. I am little confused as to whether to purchase it, as I already have few perfumes from Amouage including Interlude and Journey Man. I want to venture into Ex Nihilo since I do not have a single perfume from that brand. What would be your suggestion?
Awesome to hear from you Aditya and thank you for your support my brother 🙏🏽
I would strongly recommend to you Jubilation XXV; you will not regret this fragrance and it's very different to both Interlude and Journey. I never encourage blind buying, always recommend that you test first; but I will leave this decision with you my friend 😬
Thank you for reaching out👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thank you so much for taking time out and clarifying my query! I blind bought it from the website, I trust your judgement. I went to a store and sampled some Ex Nihilo perfumes in the meanwhile, to be not too opinionated, I will say, they were just fine! Citizen X, Amber Sky and French Affair which was very slutty😅
I have tried them in Buenos Aires, but they are too challenging for me. Maybe Aguila de Ambar is acceptable, but the rest, not even for free...
I actually loved reading your comment Pablo (especially the line "not even for free" 😂)
Like I mentioned in this episode; they're different. The compositions are unique and in a lot of cases, not fragrances that you just walk up to and instantly fall in love (like a Xerjoff)....but I feel that's the beauty of the Fueguia's ♥️
One day we need to walk into the Milano boutique together and I would love to share some of my favourites with you and why I love them...that would be a fun day😎
Thanks again for reaching out Pablo, and as mentioned, really appreciate you sharing your comments👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thank you very much for your answer and the invitation! When we meet, I will buy you a bottle of Pulperia! JAJA Yes, the Milano boutique is far better than those you can find in Buenos Aires or Jose Ignacio!
Saludos desde Uruguay!!!
On the live: think the issue with it is that it came off too monologue-like. I'm fairly certain you know many of the fragrances anyone can bring on, those are situations where you should tap in to make it more of a discussion. Then again, it appeared to me that there were some technical questions (somebody must've had a delay because you were intentionally trying to avoid speaking over anyone).
I think the funniest thing about Fueguia is the low ratings they have everywhere. Like they pride themselves in being practically inaccessible, but the product they make clearly isn't respected even by the hardcore fans. I would love for them to have a sample kit, I'd literally get like a 30x2ml just to see if there's anything actually there or not. I did this with Masque Milano and I can honestly say there's not much there outside of their more-known releases. Still want to try that Arabica scent you've showed before though.
Señor DivineFrag🫡
Yes, I hear you on the comments regarding the LIVE. Great feedback, noted for next time.
First go at anything is always going to be a bit wobbly. The greatest teacher is always experience and 'doing'
I'm already looking forward to Round 2 on 24th/25th March🥳
I know you've expressed previously that the Fueguia's are hard to find. Although you guys in the US are blessed to have 2 boutiques in NYC to explore.
I just had a look and they deliver across the US, plus you can design your own sample set: fueguia.shop/products/exploration-box (which is a fun experience to do in store). My recommendation is still to go into store if you can as this will allow the exploration and easy reach to the entire collection.
Personally, I've never listened too intently on the comments of others (maybe it's the Latino "don't tell me what do" spirit in me🙄)
I enjoy it as a 'guide' but I'm all about personal experience. I've found that the deeper I explore this House the more I fallen in love with these creations.
I'm really looking forward to bringing to life the deep dive into the Fueguia 1833 fragrance's with the upcoming episodes planned.
Always great to read your comments homie; appreciate you taking the time to share 💫👊🏽
With all due respect I think you are focusing too much on Xerjoff. You should do an analysis of how many videos you have about Xerjoff fragrances you would be surprised. I would love to hear your take on other fragrance houses.
Say it ain't so!!! Too much focus on Xerjoff!!?? But what if I'm in love and can't help myself?? How can I walk away?😩 😢
But you're right, balance is also important! Promise that I have a line up of other fragrance House's that I also adore coming up (this Mate Talk is a good example of my deep love for Fueguia too; I have about 3 episodes planned to further explore this House), along with a number of other lesser known brands that I would like to spotlight.
I'm guessing you've seen the other work that I've done across the channel showcasing other House's that I love..?

This has a massive collection (with up to 3-4 episodes per House) on lesser known brands that create exceptional fragrances that not many people talk about.
Thanks for reaching out @2400N0RDV35T, great to hear from you💫👊🏽
Made a gap between my patients, prepared my mate 🧉 and I’m ready to enjoy this
Mate Talk con un maté🧉 (the only way to do it 😎)
I enjoy your videos and style so much. I’ve drank 🧉 since 2019 after visiting Argentina the first time. I’m intrigued by your Beast Mode videos as well as the comment your wife made about “big girl” perfume. Do you have videos directed more towards beast mode fragrances that lean feminine? Those would be interesting Beast Slayers. Thank you for sharing your work.
Congratulations on the 100th Maté Talk!
I postponed watching this because I couldn't drink Maté for a couple of days, the experience is not the same without Maté. 🤩
I love seeing the footage of the Fueguia Meetup with Lee and me and hope we do this over sometime.
Next time there I'm going to focus on the 🎖5 Star General Oudh fragrances of Julian Bedel 🎖
As a Niche House I think for me Fueguia is at the top of the list! The fragrances are so glorious and unique (because of his self-learned perfumery, unique extraction methods and unique perfume notes), the bottles are also above anything I've seen or had so far (even above Clive Christian and Fragrance du Bois for me), the best sprayers and the best packaging.
As a celebration of the 100th episode I went over my budget and ordered samples of
Fueguia - Thays
Fueguia - Juan Manuel
Fueguia - Dunas de un Cuerpo
Floraïku - Between Two Trees
Matiere Premiere - Vanilla Powder
I wore the sample of Los Humos Sagrados today which I got at the meetup from Fueguia, and you nailed it again with your description, at first I got a really green fragrance, like Viride but now I'm getting the glorious smoky experience, I can't detect the Oudh, or better to say a normal Oudh smell, because it is like an cameleon (I don't know how to explain it) that can adapt to the other notes and improve or boost the smell.
And thank you for all these 100 Maté talks, I watched and enjoyed every one
You have no idea how happy seeing this message come through made me feel. I echo your sentiment Sem that I too loved seeing the photo's of our meet up in the Fueguia boutique along with you, Lee and Luke...I have awesome memories of this moment in time and as I was editing this episode and revisiting these photo's it burst my mind with a massive ray of sunshine☀️ I look forward to doing this again one day (maybe next year! 🤔)
I also enjoyed reading your comments on the Fueguia's and I have to agree with all your comments; apart from the fragrance's themselves, their bottles and sprayers are incredible (best in the game!)
The collection of samples that you listed are all "Pure Magic" in my book and I look forward to gaining your insight once you've had a chance to test and experience them.
Thank you again Sem for your words of encouragement, support and wonderful positive energy💫⚡️...thank you homie👊🏽
