Palm trees, a wild sweet breeze, fortunes told, green tea leaves, naked hips, Freudian slips, loose lips, sandalwood embers in warm amber sunsets, a city of angels with no angels, a haven for heathens, cowboys and nymphos.

Poplar, patchouli, incense wood, papyrus, cedarwood, vetiver, sandalwood and oakmoss. Eight woody notes tower in the forest, dense and dark but soon splashed with the mineral vibrancy of water cascading from the Auvergne mountains, bringing crushed leaves, moss and soil as it flows. Noble and organically sensual, Monsieur captures the harmony of the Bois Noirs, a remote and almost forgotten coniferious landscape lying deep in the heart of France.

Before we had modern synthetic musks, perfumers had to rely on a few animalic materials to give perfume formulas structure, longevity and artistic dimension. For example, the original 1920s formulation of Chanel No 5 had more than half its formula dedicated to deer musk, civet and castoreum hiding beneath jasmine and aldehydes.

It’s now possible to produce molecules identical to these animal secretions in a lab, recreating accurate accords of vintage base notes.

Nowadays, the task of providing the structure has mostly been given to clean macrocytic musks, and replicas of animalic materials are mostly used for their odor profile: warm, leathery, sensual and retro.

Musk Deer is an amazing modern reconstruction of the aroma of musk of the Siberian deer. It’s flowing, radiant and voluminous, alluring but elusive, just like the animals themselves.

Zoologist do not use animal products, and the deer musk note in this perfume is a clever accord.

The tart sweetness of bergamot and yuzu is the pale moon rising over a landscape of aromatic lavender and silky sandalwood. The sharpness of cedarwood begins to subtly assert itself, underscored by a violet echo of orris, inviting you into a realm of serene oblivion.

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.

Mint and rose are a dynamic duo, and here we have aromatic shiso putting pep in the step of voluptuous rose. There’s a pleasing friction between the combination of musky French centrifolia and syrupy Turkish roses, and shiso’s savory green. Iris, sandalwood and cedar are the wooden trellis upon which Rose Shiso climbs.
