Vanilla Haze Extrait

Vanilla Haze Extrait de Fugazzi opens with a sharp lemon twist, quickly wrapped in roasted hazelnut and coconut milk. It’s a creamy yet citrusy opening, like the first sip of a cocktail rather than dessert: the lemon keeps the vanilla in check during the first few minutes.

The heart is where things heat up. Vanilla meets smoked tonka bean, clove, and cashmeran, and that combination gives it a spicy, velvety edge that sets it apart from any conventional gourmand.

The base settles into saffron, caramel, and musk, with a final touch of bourbon vanilla. That’s the perfume’s signature and it should be taken quite literally: it’s not the bourbon vanilla variety, it’s vanilla with the liquor inside.

It’s not the vanilla you expect

The house puts it bluntly: it’s spicy, smoky, and turned up loud. Where most vanillas go for caramel and patisserie, this one brings in clove, saffron, and smoked tonka, and the result feels closer to an amber wood than to a sweet. Fugazzi classifies it, in fact, as amber woody, not gourmand.

Extrait at 30%: how it differs from Eau de Parfum

The brand describes this Extrait as the midnight version of the original Eau de Parfum: stronger, darker, and unapologetic. The concentration is 30%, with high intensity and sillage, so you need much less product. The Eau de Parfum is no longer made, so if you came looking for Vanilla Haze, this is the version still in the catalog, and it’s not the same: it’s denser and spicier.

When to wear it

It’s a perfume for night-time and colder months. The saffron and smoked tonka are too heavy for a summer morning, and the caramel in the base becomes more noticeable with body heat as the evening goes on. It works best in winter.

Where to buy it, and in what format

We have it in two sizes: 100 ml for €205 and 50 ml for €145. We ship throughout Spain, and in Barcelona and Madrid you can stop by the stores to smell it. From the same house, Angel Dust Extrait goes to the opposite extreme, mineral and dry; the rest is in the Fugazzi collection.

¿Sigue existiendo el Vanilla Haze Eau de Parfum?

No, Fugazzi ya no lo fabrica. El Extrait de Parfum es la versión que queda, y no es la misma fragancia reforzada: está concentrada al 30% y la marca la describe como la versión nocturna del original, más oscura y más especiada.

¿Huele dulce?

Menos de lo que sugiere el nombre. El clavo, el azafrán y la tonka ahumada la empujan hacia lo especiado y lo amaderado. Fugazzi la clasifica como amaderada ambarina, no como gourmand.

¿Qué precio tiene y en qué formatos viene?

Dos: 100 ml por 205 € y 50 ml por 145 €.
