BORNTOSTANDOUT Fugazzi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Quentin Bisch. Fugazzi opens with Milk, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Suede, Vetiver, Guaiac Wood, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oakmoss, Vanilla, and Ambroxan. BORNTOSTANDOUT's Fugazzi carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

This one's a divisive Bish, alright. Some reckon fugazzi is a unique, refined leather-milk dream, while others are convinced Quentin just reheated that Ganymede DNA again, or worse, that the cumin note smells like straight-up body odour. Definitely try before you buy, unless you fancy smelling like a "dirty body to cover the stink of pencil smelling dirty arm pits."

About

Fugazzi opens with an intriguing tug-of-war between smoky incense, bright citrus from mandarin and grapefruit, and a creamy lactonic accord, all spiced with a controversial cumin kick. The heart reveals a sophisticated suede and guaiac wood pairing, with a hint of leathery saffron. It settles into a warm, musky base of oakmoss, styrax, ambroxan, and creamy vanilla, creating an animalic yet refined dry down.
