Just arrived: FUGAZZI - Innovative perfumes from Amsterdam

The fragrance label from Amsterdam is an exciting discovery in the perfume universe. It's the bold and surprising combinations, all made with up to 50% ultra-long-lasting Extrait de Parfum, that lead to unexpected fragrance experiences. Launched in 2019 by Bram Niessink, who also founded the premium accessories label BYB Amsterdam, a conscious statement against the minimalist trends in fashion and beauty.

The name 'Fugazzi' is a nod to the Italian-American vernacular of the 70s, 'fugazi', meaning 'fake', and adopted from youth culture and the mafiosi of the silver screen. The spelling of the word with the double Z is written, makes the word equally to 'fake', intentionally kept abstract.

The series of 7 unisex perfumes is self-confident. And that transfers to the wearer. As an innovative, patented bonus, two odorless, herbal ingredients are included that aim to have a positive effect on well-being and reduce nervousness and tension.

“My objective with Fugazzi fragrances was to open up a conversation. I wanted to create curiosity and intrigue. According to fashion insiders, personal style is the bricolage of the wearer’s garments, jewellery, accessories and cosmetics. I believe a good fragrance should be an important facet of this and makes the individual stand out from the crowd..” - Bram Niessink, Founder.

#1 Parfum 1

Fugazzi's signature scent and best-seller, Perfume 1, avoids traditional note pairings by mixing fresh top notes of citrus and blackcurrant with woody undertones of sandalwood and musk. It's powerful, mysterious and not afraid to make a statement. From the mountainous regions of northeastern India to Mediterranean Spain, this fragrance contains aromas from around the world. An allusion to nature without boundaries, across time and space.

#2 Saint Rémy

Saint Rémy is inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's painting "The Irises" and the unexpected combination of peace and chaos born from the artist's "madness". Combining floral notes of iris with ginger, oudh and leather, this fragrance of highs and lows is both beautiful and contradictory.

 

#3 Workaholic

The most distinctive of all FUGAZZI fragrances is inspired by the hustle and bustle and pulsating thrill of the concrete jungle. With a strong note of burnt coffee and accents of almond and hazelnut, this is a fragrance for those on the move, both literally and figuratively.

#4 Thirsty

What or who are you longing for? Thirsty combines the fresh, sweet scents of apple, fig, bamboo and bluebells with floral notes of rose and jasmine, intertwined with a base of cedar, amber and musk to mimic the feeling of an endless summer day.

#5 Sugardaddy

For her, for him, for her - this playful fragrance is inspired by getting what you want and giving something back in return. Sweet, as the name suggests, with notes of fruity mandarin and blackcurrant, it is balanced with earthy moss, spicy clove and nutmeg, luxurious cashmere and free-spirited patchouli. It contains 50% pure perfume oil, is long-lasting and decidedly attention-grabbing.

#6 In Love with the Cocos

Like warm sand underfoot, sun-kissed skin and a tiki cocktail in hand, In Love With the Cocos is an ode to summer romance. Filled with notes of lemon, coconut water, and amber and musk, this is, simply put, good times in a bottle.

 #7 Goudh

Goudh boasts one of nature's most precious gifts, Oudh. Known as "liquid gold" or "agarwood," Oudh is distilled from the rare resinous heartwood of the agar tree. Hedonistic and luxurious, this fragrance combines sensual, woody notes of musk with blackcurrant to create an intense, long-lasting scent.
