About This Perfume
Santa Monica by Fugazzi is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men. Santa Monica was launched in 2022. Top notes are Orange Blossom, Mandarin Orange and Bergamot; middle notes are White Amber, Neroli and White Tea; base notes are Tonka Bean, Musk and Patchouli. Santa Monica is special in several ways. It is a co-creation of Fugazzi and Monica Geuze. The Fugazzi perfume fragrance Santa Monica perfectly captures the relaxed and cosmopolitan lifestyle of the bustling coastal town. ‘The sun always shines, people surf, people rollerblade, people do their workout – it’s super relaxed and super luxurious; you immediately get a good feeling.’ Luxurious, vintage & sun bottled! The sun rises with a burst of sweet-fruity tangerine (from California!) combined with the ingredient that always kicks off fragrances: ‘smashing’ orange blossom mixed with fresh-floral neroli. The day gradually gains sultry, without losing its freshness, with a subtle blend of white tea and white amber. The finish – the sun has almost disappeared behind the horizon – is like reminiscing about a nice summer day at the beach: unctuous notes of patchouli and tonka bean layered with powdery musk – as if the warm sand of the beach is sliding through your fingers.

The Brand

Fugazzi

Fugazzi is a contemporary indie fragrance label with playful naming and oud-inflected compositions across its higher tier. The 18 live pieces on Scendira average .75, run almost entirely unisex (17 of 18), and skew Gourmand (7) and Woody (5). Prices span $30-$255 (average $195), a wide spread from entry to niche extrait. Standout live pieces: Orange Crush Extrait de Parfum ($255,.10, bright orange soda with creamy woody edge), Angel Dust ($175,.00, soft amber cashmere with pink pepper warmth), Pomegranoudh ($255,.99, juicy pomegranate over smoky leathery oud), Passionfroudh ($255,.97, smoky oud and leather with fruity black tea) and Orange Crush ($175,.91, bright orange soda with a soft woody finish). Best read as a fruit-and-oud indie house, the "…roudh" naming convention flags the oud-crossover pillar.
