BORNTOSTANDOUT® by FUGAZZI

by Valérie Garnuch-Mentzel

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

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.

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.
