The fragrance opens with the aroma of a blooming rose and ripe, juicy cherries. In the base, a delicate bitter almond accord blends with vanilla and subtle woody nuances. The composition is rich and saturated, yet never overwhelming or cloying. On my skin, after about an hour, it begins to develop a lipstick-like accord, somewhat reminiscent of Lipstick Fever by JHAG, as if someone were just applying another coat of lipstick right beside me. Longevity is around four hours, with moderate projection.

the scent evokes the essence of freshly pressed cherry juice, softened by a subtle almond note. The opening is little spicy, with pink pepper and a touch of raspberry freshness adding energy to the composition. Before long, cherry takes centre stage, juicy and supported by a delicate balsamic undertone that gives depth. The base settles into a soft, comforting musky woody accord, warm like a cashmere scarf against the skin. It’s a fragrance like a sketch on white paper, minimalist, yet intriguing, leaving room for interpretation. Longevity is around three hours, after which the scent stays close to skin, which is quite surprising for a Fugazzi fragrance.

A fragrance you don’t need a master’s degree from ISIPCA to describe well. The opening is fresh, with tart blackcurrant and bergamot. After a while, however, the scent becomes sweeter, jasmine appears, ripe, rich, and intensified by vanilla. In the dry down, the vanilla blends with woody accords, turning velvety and very comforting. This fragrance reminds me of late June and the beginning of the summer holidays in Poland. I’m sitting on my grandmother’s porch, enjoying a slice of pleśniak (a crumbly cake with fluffy vanilla  marshmallow and blackcurrant jam) while the air is filled with the scent of blooming jasmine. Longevity is around six hours, with good projection, you can smell it throughout the house. For me, it works best in winter, as in summer it can feel a bit overwhelming.

This is my first fragrance from this brand. It opens with a sweet mango note, but unfortunately the mango fades quite quickly, giving way to a rather undefined blend of white florals. The overall impression is soft, creamy and very comforting. The scent doesn’t really evolve throughout the wear.

Longevity is around three hours, with a close to the skin projection.

The fragrance is highly distinctive. It opens with an exceptionally realistic whisky note, like the first sip of a strong spirit on a chilly evening somewhere in a dimly lit pub. This note is so intense that at first I can’t detect anything else. As the initial impression fades, dried apples emerge, accompanied by a subtle herbal nuance and woody accords, evoking an old pantry, wooden crates and herbs hanging from the ceiling. In this form, the scent remains consistent right through to the dry down. Longevity is around four hours with moderate projection, which I actually see as a positive, unless, of course, one wants to smell as though they’ve just come from a heavily boozy night out. This fragrance is definitely not for me, but it will undoubtedly appeal to lovers of characteristically “boozy” compositions.

I’m not sure why, but I’ve always avoided perfumes with a rice note. This composition does indeed open with an accord of cooked rice, which fades very quickly. The rice is accompanied by a touch of acidity, I’m not certain whether it’s bergamot or perhaps buttermilk. After a while, the scent becomes sweeter, with notes of caramel, a buttery accord and vanilla. It is sweet, but not gourmand. The base is a very pleasant combination of woody notes and vanilla. The fragrance is pretty, but it doesn’t quite convince me. Longevity on my skin is also disappointing, after two hours I can only smell it on my jumper, and the projection stays close to the skin.

This is a bright, fruity floral. It starts off a bit tart thanks to the blackcurrant and grapefruit, but soon you get that sweet, juicy pear coming through with a bit of a kick from the pink pepper. The floral heart has a touch of pineapple that gives it a real boost of energy. It finishes with a nice woody vanilla base, but it stays fruity throughout. It lasts for approximately six hours with moderate sillage, creating a subtle aura around the wearer rather than a heavy trail.

This is very modern vanilla, elegant and dry. The fragrance references the EDP version, but feels more airy and definitely less overwhelming. It opens with a clean, lightly creamy vanilla that has nothing to do with gourmand sweetness; instead, it is natural, refined and subtle. As it develops, a distinctive powdery accord emerges, lending the composition softness and a velvety texture, reminiscent of fresh, clean silk sheets. Over time, the scent settles closer to the skin, becoming more intimate and personal. The vanilla blends with dry, gently woody nuances, adding depth and a refined character. This is a minimalist yet meticulously crafted composition, calm, soothing and exceptionally elegant. Longevity is at least eight hours, with moderate projection.

This opens with warm, enveloping honey, followed by delicate mimosa that brings a softly powdery freshness. After a while, a sweet, creamy note of roasted pistachio emerges. It is the pistachio that gives the composition its addictive, distinctly feminine character. On my skin, the longevity is around five hours with moderate projection, while on clothes the scent lasts all day.

The Intense version is warmer and has a more pronounced projection than the original,   it stays fairly close to the skin, yet remains clearly noticeable. The composition develops in a classic manner, moving from a fresh, fruity opening through a rich floral heart to a deep woody amber base. Longevity is around six hours. Although it’s neither a niche nor particularly innovative, it stands out for its pleasant, well crafted character and is likely to appeal to those who enjoy mature, feminine compositions. It’s a scent I return to when I can’t quite decide what I feel like wearing.
