El Mono de la Tinta by Fueguia 1833 was launched in 2010, created by Julian Bedel. This Oriental Woody fragrance is part of a collection inspired by the literary world of Jorge Luis Borges. The composition opens with Copahu Balm, leading to a heart of sandalwood and settling into a warm cinnamon base. It evokes a mythical animal from Borges' bestiary, feeding on ink made from South American botanicals.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light layers — the cinnamon base is potent and projects well. It blooms best close to skin rather than sprayed across a room, making it perfect for intimate settings or quiet moments.
