Parfum 1 is where Fugazzi began, inspired by founder Bram Niessink’s trip to Egypt and the discovery of ancient perfume oils. Parfum 1 is a bold blend of bright and dark fruits, made mysterious by patchouli and cedarwood. The fresh top notes of citrus and blackcurrant are insinuating, gracefully riding a woody wave of sandalwood and musk. The effect is leathery, with a faint kiss of apple pie.

Perfumer: Michèle Saramito

A new addition to Bloom’s portfolio, an elegant cologne with sweet sun kissed citruses, honeyed neroli and amber background.

With classic formulas it’s the quality of the ingredients that matters. Marie Jeanne might be a new perfume house, but it’s founded by a young perfumer from a family connected to Robertet for several generations.

Robertet is a bit like De Beers of the fine natural perfume materials - matières premières, for decades they have been dealing with the finest, purest and most precious stuff a perfumer can dream of.

This is Marcelle, a classic elegant cologne but with highly likely the best bergamot from Italy, grapefruit from Spain, neroli from Tunisia and petigrain from Paraguay among other notes in the formula.

Warm, spicy and friendly, this extrait summons the good and protects you from the bad.

Fig, richly sweet and vegetal, adds contrast, while sandalwood provides cozy, just-out-of-focus grounding that is mellow and milky.

About Sensuous Nude by Estée Lauder

What makes Sensuous Nude different from these similar fragrances?
Sensuous Nude combines spicy pink and black pepper with creamy coconut, honey, and a floral heart featuring jasmine and lily-of-the-valley, balanced by sandalwood and musk. Many fragrances listed highlight one or two of these aspects but may differ in warmth, smokiness, or freshness, offering distinct interpretations rather than exact matches.
Are these fragrances more floral, woody, or musky compared to Sensuous Nude?

Can these fragrances be worn year-round like Sensuous Nude?
Many of these fragrances work well in multiple seasons.
