Fugazzi Parfum 4 Workaholic

Sampling Fugazzi Workaholic, my first try of this house but a fragrance that clearly stuck out to me in a positive way when I smelled it in anticipation of the line being brought to Perfumology, which now carries the house. It smells of coffee, rose, nutmeg, amber, tonka, and sandalwood, giving off almost a maple vibe to me. It’s fittingly sweet and spicy with the rose providing just the right amount of modification to not make it completely gourmand and add a bit of sophistication (lavender achieves this in Bond No. 9 New Haarlem quite effectively, as one comp). It’s cozy, classy, rich, and fairly smooth, without any part standing out too bitingly / distractively. Overall, an easy winner for me, a fan of gourmands (coffee especially) and rose. Workaholic is extrait concentration and priced at about $245/160 for 100/50ml, sold via the house site and great boutiques like Perfumology, and performs quite well, a reasonable value for niche perfumery in the current market. 8 out of 10

From the moment I first smelled this scent, I fell head over heels for it 🥰❤️ It's reminiscent of Tom Ford's Lost Cherry but lasts well over 3 hours on me. I'm convinced there's a hint of coffee in there, perhaps more like coffee liqueur blended with honey, and I also sense a touch of cherries. I even said that to the sales man in Liberty and he was saying maybe I feel cherries like in jar or jam, could be.. Wearing it feels like being in heaven, especially with the flood of compliments I received today about how good I smell. Plus, if you mix it with Lovely Cherie, it stays even longer! Highly recommend to try if you are perfumes freak like me 😆

This projects an 'urban' vibe so I appreciate wearing it while working from home. i blind bought the bottle based on the notes (coffee, rose/floral, vanilla, musk, amber) and have no regrets (i do love unisex scents that lean more feminine). I do have a strong work ethic, so although the title of this fragrance left me somewhat apprehensive to live up to it's meaning, it's perfect. That roasted coffee note is addicting. This is one of my signatures in my collection and until i get the budget for it, I'll purchase another bottle.

I gave a sample to my partner, he wore it today and I'm sniffing wildly as it's intoxicating. The coffee opening note is strong and dark, just how we drink our morning brew. The dry down on him is just so incredible, spicy, oily wood and resinous amber. I think it's my all time favorite on his skin, yummy. On my skin the rose comes through quickly, wrapped in sticky amber, it feels old ( in a great way) and mysterious. This one is full bottle worthy in our house. We love it.

Workaholic is a gourmant scent to me, the one I chose of the discovery set I got. I was torn between this and Goudh, Angel Dust was a good one too but I mostly liked its dry down. Workaholic smells like soft coffee with vanilla and rose that dries down to more of a musky and less gourmant than in the opening. I don’t really get much of rose but I see it lurking in the background. I tend to layer it with woody scents.
