Our take
What does Fucking Fabulous smell like?
Released in 2017 in the Private Blend line, Fucking Fabulous has a provocative name that drew plenty of attention, but it is the leather structure that holds it. The opening is aromatic, with clary sage and lavender bringing a herbal, slightly woody, almost barbershop bearing. The heart installs a supple leather coated in bitter almond, vanilla and iris, contrasting tannery notes with powdery marzipan softness. The base of tonka, cashmeran, white woods and amber carries it into a hushed, velvety warmth. The result is a sophisticated, surprisingly soft leather that brings to mind kid gloves and a luxurious interior.
When to wear it
Evenings in autumn and winter; it suits lovers of soft, powdery leathers, men and women alike.
It belongs to the Leather family. Fucking Fabulous is one of 14 creations by Tom Ford in our encyclopedia.
