The story behind the bottle.
Malena by Fueguia 1833 is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance launched in 2010 and crafted by Julian Bedel. The composition opens with a musky note that is balanced by the sweet, fruity aroma of cassis, before settling into the delicate floral essence of magnolia. This fragrance is part of Fueguia’s Armonías collection, which is dedicated to music and creates perfumes from distinctive accords. Malena's voice draws in the listener with an air of melancholy, blending the sweet harmony of magnolia and cassis notes into a captivating olfactory experience.
Apply Malena to pulse points for a subtle yet lingering effect. The musky base will bloom over time, so a light application is recommended during warmer months to avoid overpowering warmth.
