NocologneCitrus Aromatic Extrait de Parfum

Nocologne by Fugazzi is a niche citrus, aromatic and woody extrait de parfum, unisex. A cologne that does not evaporate — that is what its name says.

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 it a fake 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 boasts 30 to 50% perfume oil, compared to 20% for eaux de parfum.

An opening of four citrus fruits

The Calabria bergamot, grapefruit, lemon and mandarin open together. It is the cologne accord in its most classic form, bright and bitter, without any concession to modernity.

A heart of orange blossom and clary sage

The orange blossom extends the cologne, the mimosa the powder. The ginger zest and pink pepper sting, and the clary sage brings that aromatic note, a little amber and musky, which starts to blur the gender.

A base of Dutch herbs and moss

The Dutch herbs anchor the perfume in its country of origin. The moss and vetiver bring dampness and earth, the amber crystals warmth, and the ambrette seed a powdery plant musk. It is this base that changes everything.

The house's approach

A cologne that does not evaporate. The historical flaw of the genre is its fleetingness: citrus fruits are light materials that disappear in an hour. Here the top accord is fully preserved, then backed by a base of moss, vetiver and musks, and brought to an extract concentration. The title is therefore an exact negation: it is not a cologne, because it lasts. The Dutch herbs in the base are a nod to the house's country.

For whom, for what occasions?

Citrus, aromatic and woody, this extract is for those who love colognes and usually give up buying them for lack of longevity. From spring to summer, during the day. It is the most classic of the house, and the most universally appealing.

With Nocologne Fugazzi, the historical flaw of a genre is corrected by concentration.
