Fugazzi

Fugazzi by BORNTOSTANDOUT is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with milk, grapefruit, incense, mandarin and cumin, moves into iris, suede, vetiver, guaiac wood and saffron and dries down to vanilla, styrax, ambroxan, oakmoss and musk. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Milk Soft, lactonic and creamy. Makes everything around it rounder.
Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Cumin Warm, spicy and unmistakably sweaty. Divides rooms.

Heart

Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.

Dry-down

Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
