A truly exotic and inspiring brand based in Argentina, Fueguia 1833 Patagonia Laboratorio de Perfumes was founded in 2010 by Julian Bedel and Amalia Amoedo. Bedel, the in-house perfumer, comes from a long line of naturalists and has continued the tradition by identifying new native species to use in his art. One of the aspects that makes Fueguia 1833 so special is their use of sustainable ingredients native to South America. All local ingredients are harvested by surrounding communities and distilled under his supervision. The unique sensibility of Fueguia 1833 is inspired by the culture and history of Patagonia, and a special fascination with the voyage of Charles Darwin and the time he spent there.
Bedel describes his scents using the concept of the atom, as opposed to the model of a pyramid. Instead of referring to top, middle and bottom notes, he envisions the primary note as the nucleus and other prominent notes as electrons orbiting around it. The first note listed is the central “nucleus” of the fragrance. Although there may be as many as a hundred components in a particular formula, Bedel limits his descriptions to three major notes. Each fragrance comes in a recyclable glass bottle in a hand-made wooden box crafted from fallen trees. A true breath of fresh air...or scent anyway.
