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 a Statement verdict, a musk-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."

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
