by Fueguia 1833
Biblioteca de Babel by Fueguia 1833 is a woody-gourmand fragrance that evokes warm, dry woodlands and a subtly sweet, creamed spice. It opens with a crisp, aromatic cedar before settling into a creamy, textured core of mahogany and cinnamon, creating a sensation akin to freshly cut wood dusted with honeyed spice and warm beeswax. Its sillage is moderate to strong initially, but fades to an intimate, skin-scent layer within a few hours. While some interpret it as evoking old books or antique furniture, most find it more akin to a warm, gourmand wooden bakery—dry, slightly spicy, with the faintest hint of candied root and tobacco. The scent is best experienced in cooler seasons; it feels especially fitting during autumn and winter, where its warmth is most comforting. It projects strongly in the beginning, but longevity is limited for many users, with lasting effects mostly concentrated on the skin and clothes. Its performance varies greatly, suggesting a highly personal wear experience that leans toward unisex, elegant wearers seeking depth and tranquility in their fragrance.
