Dark Allure & Sweet Temptation – Meet Borntostandout’s Latest Creations
If there’s one brand that knows how to push boundaries, it’s Borntostandout. Their fragrances aren’t just perfumes; they’re statements—bold, fearless, and made for those who refuse to blend in. Every release feels like a challenge to the norm, an artistic rebellion bottled up and waiting to be explored. Their latest creations, Fugazzi Borntostandout and Be My Cookie, are no exception. One plays with contrasts—fresh yet dark, smooth yet intense. The other redefines what a gourmand can be—sweet, yes, but far from innocent. I had to try them both, and let me tell you—these scents are not for the faint of heart.
A Fragrance Born to Break the Rules: Fugazzi Borntostandout
The moment this scent hits my skin, it’s like stepping into a dimly lit room filled with intrigue. Fugazzi Borntostandout has an undeniable presence—bold yet refined, mysterious yet inviting. The contrast between softness and spice makes it feel like a forbidden romance—thrilling, unexpected, and impossible to ignore. The opening is fresh, with bergamot and geranium, but the real magic happens as rose and Aki Gala wood take over, blending with spicy pepper. The heart feels deep and textured, leading into a base of cedar, leather, tobacco, and amber. As it dries down, the dark sensuality of leather and amber emerges, making the scent more intense, almost magnetic. This fragrance thrives in cooler seasons—fall and winter—when its depth can fully develop. It’s perfect for evenings and special occasions, where it adds an air of quiet confidence. On my skin, it lasts 8 hours, with a moderate sillage that lingers close, making it a scent that invites rather than overwhelms. While it leans slightly masculine, its mysterious and sensual character makes it equally captivating on anyone who loves bold, unconventional scents. It’s made for those who stand out without trying—just like its name suggests.
A Bold and Unexpected Take on Gourmand: Be My Cookie Borntostandout
On my skin, Be My Cookie is anything but predictable. It’s not your usual sweet, comforting gourmand—it has an edge, something provocative hiding beneath the indulgence. The name teases a playful treat, but the scent itself is deeper, bolder, and undeniably intriguing. The opening is raspberry cookie, rich and textured, leading to an unusual heart of castoreum, adding a sensual, animalic touch. As it develops, tonone and vanilla absolute emerge, balancing warmth with a slightly smoky, resinous depth. It’s both addictive and unconventional. This scent thrives in fall and winter, where its intensity and warmth can fully shine. It’s perfect for evenings and bold statement moments. On my skin, it lasts 8+ hours, with a strong sillage that softens beautifully over time. Completely unisex—this is for confident individuals who embrace daring, artistic compositions.

Dmitrii's Professional judgment

Smoky tobacco, raw leather, and deep amber, giving it a bold but smooth finish. It’s dark, refined, and magnetic, with great longevity and a presence that lingers without shouting. Be My Cookie is not your average gourmand. It starts as a crunchy raspberry cookie, but castoreum adds an animalic bite, making it sensual and unexpected. The vanilla is rich but dry, with a smoky, caramelized depth. It’s bold, addictive, and totally unapologetic.
