The story behind the bottle.
Elogio de la Sombra by Fueguia 1833 is a Floral fragrance for women and men launched in 2010. Created by Julian Bedel, the composition opens with iris, followed by bergamot in the heart, and settles into mimosa at its base. The scent captures the essence of Patagonian landscapes, where local medicinal plants evoke memories that resonate deeply. Elogio de la Sombra is part of a collection dedicated to the writer Jorge Luis Borges, blending notes of iris, mimosa, and bergamot into an evocative bouquet.
Apply Elogio de la Sombra lightly; its powdery and floral notes build gradually on the skin. It is best experienced close to the body, making it ideal for intimate settings or quiet evenings.
