Parfum 1Woody Aromatic Extrait de Parfum

Parfum 1 by Fugazzi is a niche woody, aromatic, and citrusy extrait de parfum for both men and women. It is the house's signature and best-selling fragrance, built around davana—a material that never smells the same on one person as it does on another.

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, a 1970s Italian-American slang word meaning "fake", adopted by youth culture and movie mobsters: spelling it with a double Z makes it a fake word that means fake. The house calls its approach "Storysmelling"—the fragrance does not impose a narrative; it triggers the one of the wearer. 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 eau de parfums.

An opening of citrus and green mint

Fresh citrus and Satsuma mandarin open with a bright, tart light. Blackcurrant brings its dark green fruitiness, while green mint provides a crisp freshness that gives the opening the feel of a cocktail.

A heart of davana and olibanum

Davana takes center stage: an Indian plant with a fruity, woody, and slightly boozy scent. Olibanum surrounds it with resinous smoke, orange blossom illuminates it, and pink pepper adds a spicy kick.

A base of patchouli and Australian sandalwood

Patchouli brings earthiness, Australian sandalwood its creamy, milky quality, and cedarwood its dryness. Musk binds it all together and makes it last.

The house's signature touch

Davana does not smell the same on two different people. This is the well-known characteristic of this material: its composition reacts to the chemistry of the skin, so that it turns fruity on one person and boozy-woody on another. Building a fragrance around it means accepting that it will never be exactly the same—exactly what the house calls Storysmelling, and a fitting choice for a brand that has made illusion its name.

For whom, and for what occasions?

Woody, aromatic, and citrusy, this extract is for the curious, and for those who love fragrances that behave differently depending on who wears them. All year round, by day. Must be tried on skin.

With Parfum 1 Fugazzi, a material that changes from skin to skin becomes the house's signature.
