Tom Ford

F***ing Fabulous EDP

2017

“The name is the review — leather, almond, and absolute confidence in a bottle.”

F***ing Fabulous

aromatic

leather

vanilla

Notorious for its provocative name and widely regarded as one of the defining leather-vanilla launches of the late 2010s — Shyamala Maisondieu's 2017 entry in Tom Ford's Private Blend collection. A leather-vanilla-almond unisex fragrance with clary sage and lavender at the top, a bitter almond-vanilla-orris heart, and a tonka-cashmeran-leather base. Performs strongest in fall and winter, leans evening, lasts 7–9 hours with moderate projection.

The take

What works

●Genuinely unisex in the best way — no compromise on either end
●The leather-almond combo is arrestingly good
●Longevity and projection that justify the price tag

Trade-offs

●Heavy — strictly a cool-weather and evening fragrance
●The Private Blend price point is a steep ask for most wardrobes
