‘A cabaña nestled in the shadow of the Andes Mountains glows beneath a cascade of mysterious stars. Inside, a fire burns as two souls surrender themselves to the night. orange blossom and blackcurrant entice the senses, a pulse of nocturnal jasmine intoxicates and envelopes, while a sensuous bed of balsam and suede culminate. A Fuego Lento imparts an addictive, heady, sweet and sultry trail…’ – Frassai

A Fuego Lento is a really well-done unisex floral. On paper it’s a pretty common milky jasmine, but on skin it started to differentiate itself quite a bit. There’s an ever so slight skanky hint at first, coming from the animalic touch of civet.

It’s pretty tame overall however, especially as in the drydown the orange blossom overtakes the jasmine and becomes the main focus of this composition. Absolutely loved it on first impression.
