Fugazzi Miauw Miauw Review: Creamy Tuberose & Vanilla

Roasted nuts, milk and tuberose meet vanilla and oud in Fugazzi's 2026 gourmand

By Vivir ·
Fugazzi has spent the past several years building a reputation for fragrances that take a familiar idea and push it a step further than expected. Miauw Miauw, released in 2026, applies that instinct to the lactonic gourmand genre. On paper it reads like a comfort scent: roasted nuts at the top, a heart of milk, tuberose and rose, and a base loaded with vanilla, tonka bean, musk and three modern woody-amber captives. In practice, it is warmer, stranger and more textured than the note list alone suggests. The fragrance arrives as a unisex eau de parfum, positioned in the same general territory as the creamy white-floral gourmands that have dominated niche shelves for the past few years. Where many of those lean soft and powdery, Miauw Miauw adds an animalic and lightly oud-tinged edge that keeps the sweetness from becoming one-dimensional. It is a scent that reads as cosy at arm's length and considerably more complex up close. This review covers the confirmed note pyramid, how the fragrance evolves on skin, measured performance expectations, seasonality, occasions, pricing and the closest alternatives currently on the market.

Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first 15 to 30 minutes are dominated by roasted nuts — a warm, toasted, almost hazelnut-like accord that reads more savoury than sugary. It gives the opening a distinctly edible quality without tipping into dessert territory. The nutty top is relatively brief and fades as the lactonic heart begins to surface.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

Between roughly one and two hours, milk and tuberose take over. The milk note is creamy and slightly sweet rather than sour, and it softens the famously heady character of tuberose into something rounder and more wearable. Rose appears as a quiet supporting player, adding a faint petal-like lift that keeps the composition from becoming purely gourmand. This is the most floral and most overtly comforting stage.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

From around the four-hour mark onward, the base takes control. Vanilla and tonka bean supply a sweet, powdery warmth, while Ambrofix™, Akigalawood, Georgywood and cedar build a dry woody-amber scaffold underneath. Musk and the reported animalic facet add skin-like depth, and a subtle oud-like woodiness lingers at the very end. The drydown is noticeably less creamy than the heart and considerably more resinous and woody.

Pros & Cons

  • Distinctive roasted nut opening that sets it apart from standard vanilla gourmands
  • Creamy milk and tuberose heart that stays wearable rather than overwhelming
  • Woody-amber base with Ambrofix™, Akigalawood and Georgywood gives structure and depth
  • Moderate projection makes it office-friendly
  • Unisex composition that works across genders
  • Longevity of 6-8 hours is respectable but not exceptional for the price bracket
  • Projection stays close to the skin, which may disappoint wearers wanting a bold trail
  • The animalic and oud-like facets will not suit everyone
  • Limited to fall and winter for most wearers, with spring as the only shoulder-season option
  • No named perfumer credit, which some collectors prefer to have

Price & Value

$130-$190
Priced between $130 and $190 for a 100ml eau de parfum, Miauw Miauw sits in the mid-to-upper niche segment. That is consistent with Fugazzi's wider positioning and roughly in line with comparable creamy gourmands from houses such as Matiere Premiere and Les Liquides Imaginaires.

“Fair value for a 100ml niche eau de parfum with a genuinely distinctive opening. Shoppers who prioritise longevity and projection per dollar may find better options elsewhere, but those drawn to the lactonic-tuberose profile are getting a reasonable deal at the lower end of the range.”

Who It's For

Ideal For

  • Wearers who enjoy creamy gourmands with a woody backbone
  • Fans of tuberose who want a softer, milkier treatment of the note

  • Office wearers who want presence without heavy projection

Not Recommended For

  • Anyone who dislikes lactonic or milky accords
  • Wearers sensitive to animalic or oud-adjacent facets
  • Those seeking a loud, high-projection statement fragrance
  • People looking for a fresh or citrus-driven warm-weather scent

Final Verdict

Fugazzi Miauw Miauw is a well-constructed lactonic gourmand that earns its place in a crowded category through a genuinely unusual roasted nut opening and a woody-amber base that resists the urge to stay purely sweet. Its moderate projection and 6-8 hour longevity make it an easy daily wear in cold weather, though it will not satisfy anyone chasing a room-filling statement scent. At $130-$190 for 100ml, it is a fair-value pick for wearers who already enjoy creamy tuberose fragrances and want one with a little more bite.
