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

Scent Journey
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.
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.
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.

When to Wear
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
“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.”
Reformulation History
No significant batch variations reported.

Layering Ideas
- Layer over a plain woody-amber or cedar-dominant base to extend the drydown and push the oud-like facet forward
- Pair with a light citrus or neroli cologne in spring to lift the lactonic heart and reduce the overall sweetness
- Combine with Fugazzi Angel Dust to amplify the powdery, musky qualities both fragrances share
- Apply a single spray to a scarf or collar rather than pulse points if you want the creamy tuberose stage to last longer
