Fugazzi

by Quentin Bisch

BORNTOSTANDOUT Fugazzi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Quentin Bisch. Fugazzi opens with Mandarin, Incense, Milk, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Suede, Vetiver, Guaiac Wood, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Musk, Styrax, 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."

With significant sillage and decent longevity reported, this fragrance is bold enough for evenings and special occasions. The unique, edgy profile might be a bit much for a conservative office, but its sophisticated leather and woody elements make it suitable for formal events.

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.
