Workaholic — Fugazzi’s gourmand character
Workaholic Fugazzi is a 2019 unisex fragrance created for those who appreciate expressive gourmand compositions with spicy and soft woody facets.
It comes in parfum, or extrait, concentration and unfolds intimately, without an intrusive cloud surrounding the wearer.
The release reflects the character of Fugazzi, a young niche perfume house from the Netherlands founded in 2018.
The brand focuses on bold unisex fragrances and contemporary interpretations of familiar olfactory accords, so Workaholic feels less like strict classic perfumery and more like a stylish scent with an individual mood.
Fragrance pyramid and development
Workaholic opens with a rich, slightly spicy duet of coffee and nutmeg, joined by a romantic touch of rose.
The coffee accord does not necessarily smell like bitter espresso: here, it becomes softer and warmer, like the aroma of freshly ground beans in a cosy setting.
A creamy gourmand accord emerges at the heart, supported by white musk and delicate lily of the valley.
This combination softens the spicy opening and makes the fragrance rounder, cleaner and more comfortable for everyday wear.
The finish is built around amber, sandalwood and tonka bean.
Warm ambery depth, creamy woods and a sweetly spicy tonka accord gradually come together in a calm, cosy trail that smells especially beautiful on the skin in cool weather.
Character, sillage and wearability
Workaholic is a unisex fragrance, so it is easy to imagine on both feminine and masculine looks.
It will appeal to those who enjoy coffee, soft sweet nuances, musky cleanliness and delicate spices, but are not looking for an especially loud or provocative scent.
The fragrance has a subtle sillage: it stays close to the skin and reveals its details mainly to the wearer and those nearby.
This style of diffusion is convenient for the office, studying, travelling and other situations where you want to smell interesting but not overpowering.
For application to the skin, it is best to step into the fragrance mist so that the extrait is distributed in a thin layer.
On clothing, three to four sprays are suitable, depending on the fabric’s density and the desired intensity.
Start with a smaller amount: the coffee, amber and tonka bean can become more noticeable as they warm up.
Who will enjoy Workaholic
This perfume is worth trying for fans of spicy and gourmand fragrances who value cosiness, softness and an intimate, refined presence on the skin.
Workaholic is especially harmonious in autumn and winter, as well as on cool spring evenings; during the day it smells composed, while in a more relaxed setting it reveals its warm, almost dessert-like side.
For further exploration, consider Edgardio Chilini Cafeier, The Spirit of Dubai Turath and Mugler Angel Collector 2019.
These are not identical copies of Workaholic, but possible reference points for anyone who wants to continue exploring expressive, rich and gourmand compositions.
Workaholic Fugazzi leaves the impression of a carefully composed fragrance with a distinctive coffee theme, a spicy opening and a warm woody-ambery base.
It does not try to outshout everyone around it; instead, it offers a personal sense of comfort and suits those who prefer an understated yet distinctive perfume signature.
