The story behind the bottle.
Metáfora by Fueguia 1833 is a composition that captures the essence of imagination and enigma. Launched in 2010 and crafted by perfumer Julian Bedel, this Oriental Floral fragrance features pink pepper, jasmine, and ginger as its core notes. The scent opens with a burst of fresh spicy pink pepper, followed by the soft floral embrace of jasmine before settling into the warm muskiness of ginger. This fragrance is part of Fueguia 1833's collection dedicated to the writer Jorge Luis Borges, embodying an enigmatic universe that transforms and inspires.
Metáfora's fresh and spicy top notes dissipate quickly, so apply it in layers for sustained warmth. The ginger base lingers close to skin, making this fragrance ideal for intimate settings rather than large gatherings.
