Nice manly woody leathery scent with a little sweetness in the undertones. Not too powdery but wish the lavender hit harder. Would buy and recommend
I don’t have a lot of love or respect for the house of Tom Ford, but Fucking Fabulous is the exception. This is definitely a ‘love it or hate it’ fragrance - as for me, I certainly adore it. I am already a keen enthusiast of leather perfumes and whilst this is completely different from my usual style, there is something about it I can’t resist. The leather is smooth, rich and surprisingly subtle - nothing loud or garish like that of Ombre or Tuscan Leather. There is an aromatic facet of lavender and sage, however I feel this is only fleeting, laying down the stepping stones towards a warmer, sweeter heart. Alongside the leather, a dry and bitter almond note makes itself known which is very reminiscent of ground almonds, softened by the creamy sweetness of vanilla, orris and coumarin. I love it, everything about it. Admittedly, it’s not the best fragrance ever made nor is it worth the ridiculous price tag. But, if it can be found at the right price, I would jump on it; this fragrance is incredibly unique and once you’ve smelled it, you cannot forget it. The true gem from Tom Ford in my eyes.
