Fugazzi BORNTOSTANDOUT® by FUGAZZI is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Valérie Garnuch-Mentzel. BORNTOSTANDOUT® by FUGAZZI opens with Bergamot and Geranium, settles into a heart of Akigalawood, Rose, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Cedar, and Tobacco. Fugazzi's BORNTOSTANDOUT® by FUGAZZI carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Born By Fugazzi is a strikingly polarising scent. You'll either get a fresh, spicy, modern masterpiece with a dirty rose, or a metallic, lactonic misfire on skin. It's a risk, but the reward is a truly unique signature that stands out.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong fresh spicy and woody accords, plus a generally good performance, this fragrance is best suited for dates and formal events where you want to make an impression. While some find it versatile enough for the office, its bold character and the possibility of a divisive scent profile make it less of a safe bet for daily wear or sports.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

This one bursts open with zesty bergamot and crisp geranium, quickly giving way to a heart of peppery rose that's both floral and a bit edgy. Akigalawood lends a distinctive, almost metallic brightness. The drydown settles into a sophisticated blend of leathery tobacco, warm amber, and grounding cedar, making for a complex, evolving scent journey that challenges expectations.
