Fugazzi Parfum 1

Blackcurrant syrupy sweet goodness amplified to the max, contrasted by green, aromatic nuances coming from davana, patchouli and mint. On top of the fruity-green combination, there’s pink pepper, olibanum, sandalwood and cedar to ground the herbs, the spices and the fruits! I am not going to lie, I absolutely adore this juice! I have a sample of it, but Parfum 1 is absolutely my favourite from the bunch of perfumes that I am testing currently. I really liked Molecule 01 + Mandarin but Parfum 1 is richer, stronger, more complex and leans more on the gourmand side. It’s an absolute pleasure to my nostrils to catch whiffs of this as I move my arm in the air, the wafts I get are truly delightful. It reminds me of Giorgio Armani Si Intense 2014, in the black lacquered bottle, which is discontinued now and I think it is a good alternative for those who loved Si Intense but can’t purchase it anymore. I will have to spray them side by side, but from memory, as soon as I sprayed Fugazzi, I thought of Armani’s creation. Also, from the perfumes listed in the reminds me of section, I have tested only Pomegrate Noir by Jo Malone at the end of last year and I can see the similarities. On me, Parfum 1 is stronger, bolder, thicker and sweeter, so I prefer it over Pomegranate Noir! I will have to check where I can get a travel size/small bottle of Parfum 1 because it’s 100% my jam! If you love jammy, sweet blackcurrant heavy perfumes, you need to get your on this Fugazzi fragrance ASAP. It’s an outstanding creation of the kind... Update 24.04.25 I have added a 8 ml travel size of Parfum 1 to my collection. Decided to get a mini not a full bottle because I am not sure if it is worth the money performance wise!

I've had this for a while and this has become my signature scent as well as one of my favourites. I'm only now deciding to review it because i've seen a lot of negative reviews on it here on fragrantica. I would describe this fragrance as a sweet somewhat fruity, spicy-aromatic. The black currant gives it a very juicy forefront which i enjoy very much. It's also sweet but imo not in a syrupy rather it has an incense/ spicy like quality to it. This is very unique and i understand that this may not be for everybody, it's also incredibly strong which may put some people off even further. Imo this is really really great. I've never smelt anything like it, it's very attractive and comforting and it offers perfect performance for my needs (lasts around 8-10 hours and projects for 6, then it lingers leaving a scent trail).

Autumn in a bottle. A very delicious slightly gourmand leaning oriental perfume. Warm, sweet, spicy and slightly sweet. There is no apple listed in the notes but it smells to me like a warm cinnamon and apple pastry. I think it’s the blackcurrant note that I’m picking up and it’s done really well here. Great longevity and decent sillage, powerful and sexy enough for evening wear in the cooler months. This was an immediate love at first sniff for me and the great quality smell of the ingredients has sparked my interest in the Fugazzi brand going forward. edit: that blackcurrant note remains pervasive throughout the wear of the fragrance placing this one firmly in the spicy fruity world of Pomegranate Noir by Jo Malone, but this smells less generic.

Oh god, how I love this. A true hidden gem, a beauty! It's original enough to be niche but warm and soft enough to make me want to wear it every day without feeling like its cloying and heavy. I disagree it's similar to Angels Share. This is way more creamy, elegant, and yes, well-blended. No sharpness, no screechy notes. Sorry not sorry. Perfect for colder days, with great longetivity and performance. I kept reaching for it, like for a lovers warm embrace on a cold winter morning. It organically became my winter signature scent, and I haven't gotten tired of it several years down the road, which has been the case with way too many others after a single season.

Smells like an enchanted forest. Very blackcurrant forward: tart and juicy. It takes a while to open up but when it does the warm, grounding woody and spicy notes come through. It’s not a peppery spice, more of a spice garden / forest vibe. I would have like a bit more frankincense personally, but the well blended base notes also make it softer and more universal. Unisex although the fruit notes make it lean more feminine in my view. Decent sillage and longevity.
