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.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An evening gathering where conversation gradually draws closer: bright blackcurrant and mandarin make an immediate introduction, while smoky woods and a trace of apple-pie sweetness give the scent a darker, more intimate register as the room settles.
How to wear
The rich woods, incense and sweet fruit favour cool weather, when their warmth has room to unfold. Start with one or two sprays on skin beneath clothing for a more contained presence; an exposed neckline lets the citrus and spice carry further. Apply sparingly in warm rooms, where the concentrated composition may feel fuller.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy fruit with a dark edge rather than a sugary finish. Its combination of incense, pepper, patchouli and creamy woods suits a taste for smoky, leathery fragrances that retain brightness and a restrained gourmand warmth.

The nose
Bram Niessink is the originating creator of Parfum 1. Coming from fashion management rather than formal perfumery training, he developed the oil blend that became FUGAZZI’s debut fragrance. His approach is instinctive and emotion-led, treating scent as a way to evoke places and memories.
Fugazzi’s story
Founded in Amsterdam, FUGAZZI approaches fragrance through experimentation rather than convention. Bram Niessink’s idea of “storysmelling” puts emotion, place and memory at the centre, while the house combines playful irreverence with a taste for bold, expressive compositions.
Parfum 1’s concept
Parfum 1 grew from Niessink’s experiments with perfume oils discovered during a trip to Egypt. He recalls collecting the oils with his grandfather; enthusiastic reactions to his favourite blend encouraged him to turn a personal experiment into FUGAZZI’s first release. Ancient Egyptian perfumery supplied the inspiration, rather than a historical formula to reconstruct.
Extra info
Early coverage called the fragrance “Parfum 1 – Single”; its current name is simply Parfum 1. The brand presents it as an extrait de parfum at 30% concentration. Its apple-pie impression is a descriptive facet, not a separately listed note.
