Candid and Pure Cologne
I have tested the whole brand and maybe the overall lactonic presence isn't for me but I really liked this one together with Rosso Radice.
Colonia Nobile opens up with a classy and clean profile, a bright and clorophyllic citrus composition with a candid heart, cotton flower-like. The perfume closes on a layer of soft woods, I would dare to say almost mineral. A simple yet versatile fragrances which stands out from the collection while maintaining bonds with the main theme. Sillage and projection are very good. It seems to me a potent combination of natural ingredients supported by a wise concoction of molecules.

This is the gem in the collection
After receiving the discovery kit, I have known the products of this brand and I generally have positive feelings about them although for some of the products I have mixed feelings about. Well not this one.
The whole line shares a "common base" throughout and I feel the top notes aren't as expressive as I hoped for, this tends to be a woody oriental line apart from Mysterò, Inimitable and Tempesta di Mare (the latter calonic-ozonic).
The closest comparison I can make for you is Riserva IX by Rito, but while this one has a very indolic Ylang bringing out lots of animality from the musc, Mysterò is far more vanillic and therefore creamier with more accent on saffron, patchouly and gaiac.
Overall a much more flexible scent profile compared to the one aforementioned!

Fearless perfume
I came across Pazzaglia's creations due to a big amount of promotion and talk I saw online.
A generous friend of mine lend me some of her samples: Black Sea, Cherry Ink and Dangerous Maryx.
This is the one I like the most among the three and I'd recommend to stay away from Black Sea if it's the first perfume you are smelling from the brand. Start with Maryx instead.
The opening is a bright and clean with a sharp and zesty citrus: a mixture of bitter citron and zesty orange or grapefruit. The middle-ground is dominated by a sort of "Pulp" vibe where I get a "very ripe" fruit effect. The provocative base is constructed around wet rosemary needles soaked with a liquid. I now see this is actually a clear reference to Weed, and I see what is the provocative theme Pazzaglia wanted to tackle. I'd be a little scared to wear this in public as I have never even see what weed looks like but this is by far my favorite between the three.

Not really a review
This is the perfume that grabbed my attention towards Fueguia and that got me keeping making sample orders to try more. It's really not a complicated perfume, to simply put it: it is a lactonic perfume; a musky fragrance with a cold milk note and a dab of sugar. To be fair it reminds me of an asian vegetable too, that presents itself as white, watery and fibrous on the inside. Yes you will get the beautiful Fueguia botanical pheromone feel. Overall I wouldn't recommend it as a blind buy or as a formal fragrance; while there are offerings from the house that are suitable for this I think that the whole line is based on mental associations and the chemistry between human nature and nature itself and such bond constantly remodeled by our past individual legacies. If you like a discreet milk note and are looking at Fueguia for the first time, this is where to start.
The masculine rose
So many brands trying to market the next big thing as "a masculine rose" this and that.. in my very personal and humble opinion this has already been done in the past and this fragrance is one of very few of them. The first time I smelled it, so many years ago, I had a medicinal feel from it and despite having acquired it only recently it has been growing on me secretly over these years. I happened that not so long ago I tried it again in the store and I was baffled by how good was the aroma I was getting: fresh leather, still a little of that medicinal undertone and very light smoke, then it popped into my mind so clearly: this openness, this breeze is coming from a rose accord! Of course I should have noticed it earlier but back in the day I knew rose was there and it just blended in like in many woody orientals, let's call them this way. Too bad on my skin the rose shines too much, and therefore I wish to test the "flankers" (arabie, maroc etc..) to see if they lean even more into that perfect middle ground this is already very close to.
