BORNTOSTANDOUT®
A floral-woody extrait that opens with bergamot and geranium. It turns to peppered rose, then settles into smoky akigalawood, tobacco and leather.
Perfumer: Valérie Garnuch-Mentzel
BORNTOSTANDOUT® is an extrait de parfum from Fugazzi, listed at a 30% concentration. The brand frames it around the idea of second love: a romance that opens with roses and gradually slips into something more mysterious, told here as a move from flowers toward smoky woods and leather. Bergamot opens brightly, with geranium adding a slightly green, rosy edge. At the heart sit rose and pepper; the brand describes pairing pomarose, with its crisp apple-like juiciness, with pepper so the floral side gains a spicy bite rather than simple sweetness. The base gathers akigalawood, amber, cedarwood, tobacco and leather. Dry wood, tobacco leaf and leather build a shaded, smoky backdrop, while amber warms it from within. It suits days when you want the contrast of a bright rose against darker woods, and it sits easily with textured clothing such as tailoring or knitwear.
