A beguiling fog of vanilla pod, tonka bean and hazelnut, swirled through with almond and coconut milk. Airy green jasmine allows the sweetness to stay on the right side of unrelenting, while crème brûlée and long-lasting musk ensure this haze is more than a phase.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of someone who enters a room already composed, with a warm sweetness that reads close and magnetic rather than loud. It suits intimate settings where its creamy, edible facets can settle into skin and leave a soft, sensual trail.
How to wear
Best in cooler weather or air-conditioned spaces, where its vanilla, tonka and musk can bloom without turning heavy. Two to four sprays are enough; on skin it wears smooth and creamy, while on clothing it lingers with a softer, more diffused gourmand warmth.
Who it’s for
For people who like gourmand fragrances with a modern edge: creamy, sweet and sensual, but not syrupy. It will appeal to wearers who enjoy almond, vanilla and musk compositions with a smooth woody undertone and a polished unisex feel.
The nose
Valerie Garnuch-Mentzel and Ilias Ermenidis are both established perfumers with a strong instinct for modern, wearable compositions that still feel polished and distinctive. Garnuch-Mentzel is known for fluid, texture-rich work that often balances sweetness with clarity, while Ermenidis has a long track record in contemporary fine fragrance, especially compositions that combine sensuality, structure and broad appeal. On Vanilla Haze, their approach reads as deliberately gourmand but controlled: coconut milk, almond and hazelnut create the creamy opening, while vanilla pod, tonka and jasmine keep the heart airy enough to avoid heaviness. The drydown of crème brûlée, white amber and musk gives the fragrance its soft persistence and smooth, skin-close finish.
Collaborators
Bram Niessink shaped the brand’s creative direction through Fugazzi’s “storysmelling” concept, which frames fragrance as a memory-led, ingredient-driven form of luxury. For Vanilla Haze, that philosophy appears in the contrast between indulgent gourmand notes and a cleaner, more modern structure.
Fugazzi’s story
Fugazzi builds its identity around “storysmelling”: fragrances designed to trigger memory and emotion through high-quality, unconventional materials and bold compositions. The house leans into playful luxury and a slightly rebellious attitude, pairing strong concentration with a contemporary, unisex point of view.
Vanilla Haze’s concept
Vanilla Haze sits squarely within Fugazzi’s gourmand language, built around the idea of a sweet haze that stays polished rather than cloying. The composition moves from mandarin and coconut milk into vanilla pod, tonka bean and jasmine, then settles into crème brûlée, white amber and musk, giving the scent a creamy, lingering finish.
Extra info
Vanilla Haze is offered as an Eau de Parfum at 20% concentration, with sizes including 50ml, 100ml and 8ml. Fugazzi also releases an Extrait version of the scent, and the brand’s name is a play on “fugazi,” reflecting its interest in illusion, craft and reinvention.
