Meo Fusciuni Little Song ~New Perfume Review + Cycle of Metamorphosis Draw

Meo Fusciuni, Danu Seith-Fyr 2018©

And we are a little song, far from my time and yours….“This little song has become my mantra, my memory, the first step in my metamorphosis. Now I await, for something to happen, like a ritual with its abracadabra, the little song accompanies me, accompanies me in my solitude, waiting for something to change and transform.” Meo Fusciuni.

Solitude, Richard Curtis 2016©

Have you ever entered into the inner Sanctum, of those with whom you feel an understanding, a tangible rush of companionship, whom you know even before a word is spoken? So it was with Meo Fusciuni and his partner, Fede Caste, upon my visit to Italy for Esxence

Meo is the Macrocosm to my Microcosm, to step within the Studio is akin to the recognition of familiar self, aromas of layered time prevalent, journeys ignited, collected items and odours, the unravelling of a story.‘ The smell before the Perfume, The Poetry before the Molecule’. Meo

‘Without great solitude, no great work is possible’ Pablo Picasso

Meo Fusciuni Little Song is the unending, narrative of Self as we journey in our cloaked flesh, pause, between breaths. Scent of loneliness, that is a retreat yet an essential prerequisite of evolution. The closing of one aspect of our lives and the opening of another, a placid vesical cessation. Shedding of one skin to reveal the next.  Under the delicate touch of Meo’s hands, Little Song is this first expression in the Cycle of Metamorphosis.  Lifting and consolidating me from its very moment of contact upon skin, the Bergamot, Ginger and Pink Pepper are the invitation, unfettered in faith.  It tunes my inner ears to listen intently to my ‘Little Song’.

The engoldened centre of Meo Fusciuni Little Song carries me to a place of closeted moments. As I write, the air around me is infused with a melody so recognisable. Called by the Turkish Rose in a seamless harmonic with the Coffee,  as if they are two distinct threads woven in a majestic tapestry, to be seated, to write upon a warmed oaken desk of my next existence, facing a casement flung wide to the summer. Odour of stone portals with a sedate beholding of Rose that bears not a trace of green but is in its prime, a Rose exuberant, voluptuous, lending herself to be my outrider as I wait.

Persephone, Pysche Ophiuchus 2018©

Stretching time in all impossible directions, fissures open in the fabric and the possible comes into focus.  Soft tissue petals grace my flesh, laced with a Tobacco note that is all surety and faith.  Memory gracing Moments. The elapsing of hours brings the tendrilled Tobacco to the fore, not a sweet varietal, here robust and richly textured, giving with its companions, Vetiver, Sage, Civet and Labdanum a deeply rooted, tender guiding hand, unwavering in the conviction of the transformation.

  • I love the name of this fragrance! My associations with perfume are more visual and emotional. Danu’s review is very poetic. Her words: “tendrilled Tobacco” and “giving with its companions, Vetiver, Sage, Civet and Labdanum a deeply rooted, tender guiding hand” creates a picture of a hidden garden in my mind. I live in the US.

  • DespinaVnt says:

    I loved Danu’s precise depiction of the rose in this fragrance (I could almost smell it!), as well as the idea of retreat, loneliness as a gate to evolution.
    Many times indeed I hear melodies smelling fragrances – the sense of smell is one of the most powerful triggers of memories, experiences, wishes, dreams.
    In other words, of what makes each and every one of us what we are.
    Music is never away from my life or mind, so it is inevitably evoked by such a powerful stimulus.
    I live in EU (France), thank you.

  • I live in the US. The closing of one aspect of our lives and the opening of another, very poetic and captivating. A transition is my observation and Little Song is a lovely name. Thank you for the chance to try.

  • I’ve never heard of this house before but that box and bottle are looking awesome. Also the notes listed are really interesting, i’m curious how that mix could smell. Thanks for the draw, i am in the EU.

  • fazalcheema says:

    Rose and tobacco seems to play a major role in Little Song, and the style seems similar to other perfumes from Meo Fusciuni. I am in US

  • What appeals to me the most is the combination of notes. This is a fragrance that would be unique in my collection and therefore is of great interest to me. I do not associate perfume with melodies or metamorphosis. My country of residence is Canada.

  • Great review ,a wonderful group of notes in this composition, a robust and richly textured tobacco …come on now ! dont tease us. And i don’t really associate perfume with melodies or metamorphosis but now I just might start 🙂

    Canada here

    Thanks for generous giveaway !

  • jeremyn87 says:

    The description of the smell, and the note breakdown, reminds me of some old-school unisex fragrances which were marketed particularly to men or women, like Aramis 900 or Aromatic Elixir, even though they work just as well on either. Dense, elegant, complex, sultry, and a tad dirty.
    I’m in the US
    If I was going to associate smells with music, I’d imagine some relaxed, leisurely Mediterranean or Arabic music with smells like neroli, rose, and the like.

  • roxhas1cat says:

    I love that feeling of getting into someone’s inner sanctum before I truly know them. It happens infrequently, but it happens. That is how I felt with my daughter in law. Lucky me. I don’t associate fragrances with music, but I do to a time of change in my life! I am still looking for ‘my tobacco’ fragrance to connect me with my brother who passed a few years ago. It’s been a long search. Maybe this would be the one. I think maybe my collection will be complete once I find the right tobacco. I always regret not smoking a cigar with him, maybe that would have helped me find my fragrance sooner. I only have the scent memory of us sitting on the porch and smelling his cigar. “The scent of loneliness” did hit me. Thanks for the chance!! USA.

  • This sounds definitely like a wonderful tobacco rose unisex fragrance I enjoyed reading the article, and the association of the fragrance with a melody. I’m in the USA.

  • Hikmat Sher Afridi says:

    Thanks for the article & review of Little Song. It seems amazing and the notes are appealing. This perfume house Meo Fusciuni is new for me & never tried any of its fragrances.
    Thanks for the generosity & opportunity. Count me in please. Pakistan

  • Lori Laws says:

    This was a great review and I love the name Little Song! I do associate fragrance with melody. A long story that is actually very personal to me. The rose and tobacco accompanied by the other notes sound incredible. This is a new fragrance house to me. Thanks for the generous draw and I live in the US! 🙂

  • Mmm Tobacco and rose! What a combo! I have only tried the Papillon Tobacco Rose so I would love to smell another interpretation of this theme – and with coffee added too. It sounds like it would warm me up down here in cold Melbourne town! 🙂
    Would love to win thank you!

  • This perfume sounds really unique and beautiful from the base of the review. The notes sounds fabulously. Generally I do not associate perfumes with songs. I rather associate perfumes with places and feelings. Thank you for the draw. I live in Europe.

  • A rose with coffee and tobacco sounds divine and like nothing in my collection. I must seek this out. Perfume is musical to me and strange when his music is absent. I live in the U.S.

  • Oh wow coffee. Never met a coffee frag I didn’t like. Little Song sounds big, love to try this. US

  • I do not know anything from this house, but Little Song sounds very special, poetic, full of lyric. I liked very much the part where it was described as the scent of loneliness.

    I am from EU. Thanks for the draw!

  • Thank you, Danu for this beautiful-beautiful review!
    The first part of this article is so nice poetic, sophisticated and with deep thoughts!!
    I imagine around me as Danu said air infused by Rose and Coffee.
    Bery nice.
    from Armenia

  • Danu, that must be one of your most poetic reviews!
    The name of the perfume immediately brought to my mind the beautiful Little Water Song sung by Ute Lemper but perhaps Meo Fusciuni’s work is made in a slightly cheerier key? I’d be happy to find out.

    I don’t always link songs with perfumes, however, a big part of the pleasure of choosing the right perfume is feeling it evolve with time and even space.

    Thank you for the generous draw. I live in Russia

  • notVanilla says:

    I don’t know if a G is an orange flower, or C note a is a santal. That disregards scale, what about sharps and flats? I think the way music evokes memory scent does as well. The poetry of word, notes, and lyrics, the combinations and chords I understand the metaphor. Metamorphosis more, the unfolding of a scenting, the trip, the changing lines. From my little island of Kauai please consider me for the Little Song.

  • Just Add Light says:

    Sounds to me like a fragrance for the modern alchemist. Ashy tobacco, veiled in a an air of silken rose and coffee. Danu’s poetic description had me captivated at the mention of stone portals, bringing to mind the astute ministrations of the ancients, “stretching time in all impossible directions…”, unwaveringly orchestrated with a brazen facade – a fitting tribute to the style of Meo. Canada.

  • Wow, I love coffee and rose paired together. I love Café Tuberosa by AC. I’m not connecting perfumes with particular songs or melodies, but I’m connecting some scents with some genres of music like jazz, blues, hippie, psychedelic, rock, classical etc. I live in Poland.

  • Monica Beaton says:

    Thank you for the wonderful lyrical review, and thanks to Meo Fusciuni for the most generous giveaway. I appreciate a fragrance that reveals itself in stages – lovely layers of notes interwoven – tobacco and rose – a true Little Song. I live in Australia.

  • Southernboy says:

    What appeals to me about this fragrance because it has soft with the rose note, then having a harder with the tobacco . Thank you for the drawing. Live in the US .

  • What a nice name of perfume!!! And great idea of creating perfume: “we journey in our cloaked flesh, pause, between breaths. Scent of loneliness…” etc.
    I found very interestind combination of ibgredients, but can imagine this perfume. But Danu’ s description promisses very beautiful perfume.
    Armenia

  • Little song sounds awesome reviewed in such a poetical way. I once spilled some coffee on my hand while wearing a rose perfume and it just felt like discribed by Danu. Thank you Meo Fusciuni and CaFleurebon for this wonderful draw. I live in EU.

  • Sounds incredible as for perfume and music lover and musician. ““we journey in our cloaked flesh, pause, between breaths” just amazing and truly correct. Never tried anything from the house and it is my first read about it and it really seems exciting and promising. As for Little Song I love the notes, which are coffee, ginger, tobacco, vetiver it must be incredible and comforting scent, with a little boozy bourbon touch maybe?
    Thank you again for introducing with new creations and names! I am from Europe!

  • James2473 says:

    Such a beautiful review! What appeals to me are all of the gorgeous notes in Little Song. Particularly the Turkish rose and coffee. I definitely picture fragrances as going through a metamorphosis at times. I’m located in the US.

  • It sounds like an intoxicating fragrance. I don’t own any scents with Labdanam in them. I love the smell of civet and tobacco.
    I live in the US.

  • I absolutely love coffee and rose together!

    Music and metamorphosis are very natural descriptors of perfume for me, as a perfumes transition from top to bottom notes is an important aspect of the experience, and we all speak of ‘notes’ and ‘accords’!

    I live in the EU.

  • Danu Seith -Fyr says:

    I wish to thank you all for your comments and for reading and feeling my words..I deeply appreciate all your support. Meo is indeed a man of no small genius, there is not one of his fragrances I do not love.

  • in the EU; i use words that are common in music and metamorphosis to describe scents … and i like discovering in both areas !

  • Sérgio Teixeira says:

    This was not a review, it was poetry. Tobacco, rose and vetiver, a story of song and solitude, of artistry and silence. Flawless. Portugal

  • How philosophic discraption of this perfume!
    WONDERFUL!!!
    Great idea to creat perfume inspired by song.
    I know perfume about music, for example SAUF.
    It will very interesting to test perfume about song. I think this perfume is very sophisticated.

  • doveskylark says:

    What a beautiful review for a perfume that made me think of what would be my scent of loneliness ( hopefully desired loneliness). Definitely there would be rose, tobacco, and coffee notes. I so want to try this fragrance.
    I live in the USA.

  • Dubaiscents says:

    I wouldn’t miss a chance to try a new scent with some of my favorite notes of rose, coffee, tobacco and labdanum! Since I am probably one of the least musical people around I would say I see scents in more of a metamorphosis or a development from something small young and simple and developing into a masterpiece of beauty! You always have to be patient and let the scent grow. A wonderful review that really makes me want to seek this one out! I live in the UAE.

  • WaltherP99 says:

    Thank you for this draw !
    I was able to smell and sample this one on skin at Esxence , but my imressions from Little Song are a lot different compaired to what Danu is getting from it.
    Top notes are very short-lived , and in the base i get deep and rich smell of grounded cofee ,vetiver and tobacco with a hint of ginger , and very faint traces of rose.
    The fragrance is a bit dry,earthy and ashy , and on my skin at least leans masculine.Personally i don’t get any labdanum , pink pepper or civet-notes i’m very familiar with.
    I am audiophile i do associate each and every fragrance that i own with melodies,songs,albums and genres.
    As for metamorphosis – sure.Right now i’m wearing Enchanted Forest by The Vagabond Prince.I get 2 or even 3 different fragrances if i wear it is colder weather,summer or if it’s raining.As much as i love it Enchanted Forest changes a lot on my skin , and i never know what i’ll get from it..

  • fleurdelys says:

    Thank you Danu for this very poetic review !
    Your description manages to create vivid images in my imagination.
    I’m always curios to try new creations and Little Song from Meo Fusciuni is no exception.
    I don’t often associate perfume with music, but both manage to create a certain spiritual state of mind.
    Thank you for bringing a new house to my attention and for the generous giveaway.
    I’m in the EU.

  • I don’t associate fragrance with melodies or metamorphoses but I do associate them very much so with memories, places and people. Danu’s review really makes me want to try this morphing perfume. I’m in the U.S.

  • bumbuliuki says:

    From Danu’s article, Little Song sounds like a great perfume.
    With notes like tobacco, ginger, vetiver, rose it seems to be a perfect match for me.
    I enjoy listening to music but don’t usually associate songs with fragrances, however fragrances and songs have a thing in common and that’s memories they create.
    Would definitely love to try this Meo Fusciuni creation.
    Thank you for the wonderful draw.
    I live in the EU.

  • Bubeto_GG says:

    Rose and cofee is always a good combination.Add some ashy tobacco, vetiver and a mild spiciness and we have a winner.
    Yes i do associate perfumes , but not just with melodies , but with music
    -R’N’B with citrus based fragrances
    -Jazz with vetiver and oakmoss
    -Funk with vanilla , cofee and caramel
    -Soul with rum,coconut and fig/fig leafs
    About metamorphosis and pefumes – sometimes i do , but sometimes i don’t.To be honest i prefer linear more scents , and i don’t like most chameleon type of fragrances .
    Last 3 months back and forth between US and Scotland

  • Sounds great. I love notes of ginger and pink pepper. To me a fragrance represents a melody, ever changing but always harmonious

  • NiceVULady says:

    I love the notes associated with its name. I can’t say that I associate perfume with music, although the structure of perfume can be similar to the structure of music. Thanks for the draw. I’m in the USA
