Cash FlowerSpicy Floral Extrait de Parfum

Cash Flower by Fugazzi is a niche floral, spicy, and musky unisex perfume extract. A rose placed at the top, and nothing behind to replace it.

A fake word that means fake

FUGAZZI is a Dutch house from Amsterdam, founded in 2018 by Bram Niessink, whose imagination was sparked during a trip to Egypt with his grandfather. The name comes from fugazi, an Italian-American slang word from the 1970s meaning "fake", adopted by youth culture and movie mobsters: writing it with a double Z makes a fake word out of a word that means fake. The house calls its approach "Storysmelling". Each formula also contains two patented odorless plant ingredients, whose combination aims to reduce feelings of nervousness and tension. The Extrait line contains 30 to 50% perfume oil, compared to 20% for eaux de parfum.

An opening of rose petals and pepper

Rose petals open the composition, fresh and slightly green — the flower as you smell it when you crush it, not the honeyed absolute. Pepper immediately adds a bite, and cashmere wood already establishes, right from the top, the woody sweetness of the base.

A heart of amber and musk

Amber and musk occupy the heart alone. They tell nothing new: their role is to gather the rose and hold it, giving it a skin-like warmth.

A sandalwood base

Sandalwood closes the composition, alone. Creamy and lactonic, it extends the flower without ever covering it.

The house's approach

The rose is at the top, and nothing comes to replace it. Classic construction would have a flower occupy the heart, framed by a citrus opening and a woody base. Here, the rose is the first thing you smell, and the rest of the formula — amber, musk, sandalwood — only serves to fix it. The perfume therefore tells not an evolution but a persistence: it is the same image, from beginning to end.

For whom, for what occasions?

Floral, spicy, and musky, this extract is for those seeking a clear and direct rose, without complicated construction. All year round, from day to night. It is one of the most accessible from the house.

With Cash Flower Fugazzi, the entire perfume serves to fix its first note.
