For me, personally, due to its similar scent and performance, it seems excellent as it’s a very good perfume. I like it a lot and here in the Dominican Republic it’s a compliment bomb.
As said in a review: you either hate it or love it. I’m on the ‘I hated it’ team. I put it on and there was no way, it didn’t evolve for the better at any point, and on top of that, the anguish of washing yourself and not being able to get the stench off. Terrible, I got rid of it very quickly. The only good thing about it has been the marketing comparing it to Tom Ford’s, which by the way smells just as bad, haha. What does it smell like? Well, when I was little I was hospitalised and the cleaning product used to clean the room came to mind as soon as I smelled this. It’s cheaper to take a bath with something like Don Limpio lavender, then go and say it’s this perfume. But anyway, it’s a matter of taste…
I like it a lot. Very non-chemical smell, much better than designer perfumes. Good longevity. You can detect lavender at the start, herbal notes, and it evolves into a bitter almond leaving behind creamier notes afterwards. Projection for the first two hours. Recommended.
For expert noses, decipher the notes; for the rest, imagine a body milk of bitter almond and vanilla, that’s the point.
I liked it a lot, but I have to admit it’s not for everyone. Mainly it smells of bitter almond with a slightly metallic touch that gives it class; personally, I like it being rare, it catches my attention, and I use it quite a bit. It’s totally unisex although not sweet. It lasts about 6 hours and projects for about 3. It changes a lot depending on pH, I recommend trying it first.
Rich aroma: almond, vanilla… I don’t know how the original is as I don’t own it, but this is a hit. Elegant, lasting about 5 hours, projection for an hour.
Although its price is prohibitive and I’m not an expert in niche fragrances, I love Tom Ford’s, and thanks to decants, I sometimes allow myself the indulgence. Why mention Tom Ford? Because their fragrances exude masculinity and opulence, they smell like expensive perfume. Referring to MA Fabulo Intense, both smell very similar. FI has a very marked synthetic leather opening; after a few minutes, it seems like amber and almond, but not creamy like in Guerlain’s L’Homme Idéal, rather a bitter, smoky almond, perhaps with a tonka note that sweetens the bitterness. I don’t perceive the lavender; the leather eats it up, which is very prominent and of good quality. In summary, it’s a good clone of Tom Ford’s FF. What astonishes and concerns me is how much these niche houses marginalise scents that should cost a tenth of the real price. For those not understood, they will love it, provided they like ‘grown-up’ aromas; it’s not a youthful, sweet, or sticky perfume, nothing fresh or party-ready. It is elegant, smells expensive, suitable for formal or semi-formal wear, with very good performance and projection. Use it moderately, because if you overapply, you can invade small spaces and instead of compliments, people will ask you to leave. Never overapply; you might get used to it, but believe me, its sillage and potency last hours. On clothes, several days. Good purchase at a ridiculous price.
It’s a compliment bomb… while it lasts. Be warned, it’s another one that doesn’t stay with me for more than two hours. The only way to keep smelling it is to spray my clothes, which I don’t particularly like, but it’s the only thing that works.
I simply love it. Scent: 10/10. Longevity: 6/10, lasting about 5 or 6 hours on skin. Sillage and projection: 7/10; I feel it doesn’t project much, but it’s so nice to wear and feel it myself that it doesn’t matter if others can smell it. An excellent perfume with an incredible quality-to-price ratio.
I picked it up recently and it suits me perfectly; it smells spicy, fresh, and clean. In a video, someone mentioned it reminds a bit of playdough, and if that nuance is noticeable, it’s no surprise as it adds a curious touch. On my skin, it lasts about 5 or 6 hours, though applying more extends it. I think it’s excellent for day or night, ideal for autumn, winter, and spring, but not for very hot days.
Since receiving it, it’s a very distinctive scent. Definitely, you won’t smell like everyone else. I detect some synthetic elements, but for the price, I can’t ask for more. It’s almost identical to Tom Ford’s F Fabulous (keeping in mind the shift in quality).
I’d give it 9/10, although here it’s on a five-star scale. I really liked it; it feels both casual and formal, masculine with style. With good clothes, it will give you more presence. I’m going to test the longevity and projection.
Almond-floral, good value and presentation. Sillage and longevity are moderate; not entirely faithful to its inspiration but with a rich dry-down. It could last longer, but it’s acceptable, though its siblings perform better.
Nocturnal, sexy and bold. I also own Lovely Cherrie and Tobacco Touch, but this is my wife’s favourite. It smells like aftershave, giving it a masculine edge. As it dries, it reminds me of plasticine, taking me back to childhood, and finally to leather with a hint of rubber (sounds odd, but that’s what I feel). I like it; it’s a strange yet pleasant aroma. The more you wear it, the more you enjoy it, and if worn with flair, it’s a fine piece.
I don’t understand why so many votes label it as masculine… It’s not; it’s unisex. Perhaps other men sensed it and influenced the perception. It’s woody with a talc undertone and floral notes, perfect for a woman if you’re not looking for profiles like La Belle or Good Girl. This Alhambra is pure woodiness. I met it a few days ago, hesitating over the price in Argentina after trying Tom Ford’s Fucking Fabulous and wondering if it was worth the fuss. But Fabulous Intense left me speechless! I loved it from the opening to the dry-down. I didn’t use it much as I lent out the decant, but it lasted well on average. I perceive it as a soft, almost velvety woody scent, with a faint medicinal note at first that fades quickly. It’s clean, suitable for someone informal but put-together, appropriate for meetings, though not super formal. It didn’t seem synthetic to me. By the way, the Lady Million line from PR also sounds synthetic sometimes. When I can, I’ll add it to my collection!
Synthetic but not bad; Maison Alhambra always brings class. It’s an elegant masculine scent; wherever you go, you’ll be noticed.
Just added it to my collection. A delicious, fresh scent that lasts. I recommend it for cool afternoons. It’s wonderful – totally fresh, with a soft yet potent aroma.
At first, it didn’t grab me, but after testing the original at Sephora and comparing, they’re 95% identical. I gave it another chance and gradually grew to like it. I now have a decant lasting six hours with average projection and a scent rating of 9/10.
Almond and talc give it character, with lavender providing the perfect touch. Two sprays are enough; more overwhelms me. I bought it in summer, but I think it suits autumn and winter better.
Excellent and very masculine perfume, nothing unisex about it – that’s what women’s perfumes are for, PERIOD.
Perfumes are unisex. I am a woman I use this perfume and I have never felt I lose my femininity by using it. It seems ridiculous to men to say this perfume is to attract compliments only from men; with this one people have told me I smell very good. Any woman who is a lover of perfumes in general and has not yet tried this one should definitely give it a chance. DELICIOUS.
Good scent but I’m glad I bought the 30 ml version as it doesn’t suit me too much. I don’t know if it resembles the Tom Ford one or not but in this one lavender lily root and almond rule. It might remind you of some type of cleaning product; in short my first impression is of an aseptic scent that doesn’t evolve much and has very contained longevity and projection. Totally unisex. I’ll leave it to see if it improves with oxidation.
Fabulo Intense Maison Alhambra: if it’s a clone it’s a very well-executed one of Tom Ford’s Fucking Fabulous. And although I’m not a fan of clones I must recognise to Maison Alhambra that they have done a very good job here. The notes are more refined in the Tom Ford purer but in this one it certainly doesn’t disappoint; it’s a faithful approximation at 95%. It’s a fragrance that had I found it before the original I wouldn’t have acquired the Tom Ford version. Truly it’s a magnificent option to enjoy the scent without spending so much. As for its performance well it’s also good. And as for the scent if you don’t know the Fucking Fabulous it’s a clean different and very pleasant fragrance; the lavender is total and mixes wonderfully with the warmth of vanilla and amber. Honestly I don’t detect the almond. Versatile fragrance for day and night any season and perfectly unisex. It’s one of the fragrances that leaves a good impression on both women and men. I like it and I can use it without feeling pain if I use the Tom Ford one. Scent: 10. Projection: Good. Longevity: 7 hours. Recommended.
Fragrance with a wonderful aroma. My husband bought it as an alternative to Tom Ford and it was a success; I even dare to say a woman can wear it too. Its longevity and projection are enormous; totally recommended.
I don’t know Tom Ford’s Fucking Fabulous so I won’t refer to the obvious relationship. In particular this Maison Alhambra fragrance has become one of my favourites; in my judgement it is bottled masculinity an elegant unique exquisite aroma. Clearly from the dry-down the bitter almond note predominates along with some talc-like note and the leather is also present to unify everything. Personally the opening is a bit sharp and can be irritating but you have to give it a chance to evolve and show what it is; it’s a wonder. Regarding longevity it stays on the skin for 8 hours; projection is moderate. It’s not a fragrance made to please everyone; it’s a risky olfactory experience and not one to buy blind. My advice: if you don’t like the opening don’t worry there’s still much to evolve. With oxidation it becomes increasingly potent.
Beautiful fragrance. I tried the original. In the opening the almond note is much stronger in the original although in the dry-down they are very similar. In short it’s a fragrance that given the cost it offers is a marvel in my case; I got it in Argentina and I swear I’m not exaggerating; the original costs 1.7 million pesos (1 US dollars) and the Maison Alhambra version I paid 40 40 US dollars). So in that aspect it’s a wonder. I recommend it.
Perfumes not to buy blind: it’s quite noticeable that it’s synthetic but it definitely has a playdough smell at the start. When it evolves it becomes more striking with leather predominating and feminine makeup touches at the end of the day. I ended up smelling a very strong cheese scent that I couldn’t associate with anything; it wasn’t much to my liking but I’ll give it another chance to see if my opinion changes.
Beautiful fragrance. I opened it applied it and liked the scent even though most Arab scents need to be oxygenated. It’s a clean masculine smell; I felt like I was wearing a Blue with a soft leather note. The Amber & Leather is a heavy leather but I didn’t sense that. As a unisex it needs time to oxidise but I found it very woody for a woman. I also didn’t detect the vanilla; more hours are needed. However the scent from the first spray seemed incredible even reminding me of a note from Club de Nuit Iconic.
Fabulo Intense by Maison Alhambra is a very well-made clone of Tom Ford’s Fucking Fabulous with about 90% similarity. It features leather almond and lavender notes. For Tom Ford fans it’s a much cheaper option; the price is substantially lower. It’s a profile I dislike entirely but I invite you to try it and draw your own conclusions.
Did not buy it myself; came free with a decant set. What a surprise as I would never have sought it out on my own; I’m not one to buy perfumes that call themselves fabulous. I was blown away by the Maison Alhambra profile. Yes it smells synthetic and cheap but it lasts a long time and projects more than others in its price range. The scent isn’t mine; it’s basically lavender-vanilla from start to finish. Lavanda doesn’t suit me; it reminds me of second-rate cleaning sprays from Latin households and this does the same. One comment said it smells like playdough and they’re right; it has its charm but it smells like a child’s disappointment when mixing plastic colours and ending up brown-purple. If you like lavender and can handle the synthetic notes it’s a fantastic unisex fragrance the kind I wouldn’t mind smelling on someone else before they went out. I don’t know what Tom Ford it imitates; I’ve read good things about its dupes and will try more. Despite not liking it I give it 5 out of 10; I can’t go lower given the price.
I haven’t tried the FF by Tom Ford; I bought this fragrance based on TikTok reviews. The truth is, it wasn’t a blind buy for me; in my case, it was because there were no testers and no Arabic fragrances in my city at the time. I must confess it’s not my total favourite; I sense a quite bitter and somewhat synthetic note, likely due to the almond and that blend with the leather, which isn’t animalic—I would have given it away. However, after keeping it for months, I finally wore it to a funeral, and to my surprise, it improved significantly: it no longer feels so synthetic or heavy, though it retains that bitter note. It’s one of those fragrances where it’s hard to know when to use them. It’s a scent you either love or hate, not for everyone, but I’ll take a reviewer’s advice: to train your nose and delve into the niche world, give this type of fragrance a chance.
I tried the Tom Ford version and it’s too similar, but here the almond is more present; I think this Maison Alhambra version is even more pleasant to me.
Fabulous Intense by Maison Alhambra is a creamy, captivating fragrance worth the investment. With floral, almond, woody, and leather chords, it evokes a walk through a lavender field amidst an explosion of almonds. The predominant notes are lavender, almond, vanilla, amber, and iris root, combining to create a superb and sophisticated aroma. More formal than casual, it’s ideal for special occasions or for those seeking a fragrance that makes a statement. With a longevity of about seven hours on skin, the trail is heavy at first, then moderate, and finally intimate. This makes it suitable for cold and temperate climates. Although it has its personality, its similarity to Fucking Fabulous by Tom Ford in the dry-down is notable, reaching 85% resemblance. However, the opening is more floral and distinctive, setting it apart from its inspiration. Overall, it’s an excellent option for those seeking high quality at an accessible price.
Rich fragrance; I’m not sure if it resembles Tom Ford. You can feel the almond with a base of leather and woods. Whether it smells synthetic or not, I think given the price, there’s not much to ask; I’ve smelled designer fragrances much more expensive that felt similar at the start. If you’ve been collecting scents for a while, it would be a good blind buy. But if you’re following trends, better to test it first to avoid disappointment.
As a dupe for Tom Ford, it works well for the price, and as a fragrance in its own right too. It’s a particular blend of leather and almond that doesn’t leave you or those around you indifferent. One of the few exceptions where Lattafa does something right. I’d say it’s unisex, leaning masculine, with good longevity and excellent projection in the first few hours. At least it’s something unique, not just another clone of Le Male Elixir or Invictus Acqua.
Excellent value for money, good aroma, really nothing to complain about. It doesn’t stand out or clash; it’s an intimate, rich fragrance that fulfils its purpose, easy to like and buy. It’s economical, you just have to find the right price.
I took a risk and bought it because I smelled the original TF and found it interesting. When I wore it two hours later, I felt nauseous. I don’t know what it is, but I don’t like it; it’s probably the leather. I still can’t get used to that scent, and I notice it strongly. Notes like almond or vanilla, which I should enjoy, are absent. I’ll give it another try later, but I think this fragrance isn’t for me.
To the point. My sister, mum, and dad gave me compliments; my wife gifted it to me looking for a leather scent she liked. It didn’t convince me at first, but with time, I grew to like it more. Initially, it smells synthetic, but that changes and neutralises over time. If it resembles Tom Ford, without a doubt: in the air, they are indistinguishable; it would take an expert or a charlatan to spot the difference. The quality of ingredients is noticeable when tested side by side, but regarding value for money, this is one of the best from Maison. Good performance; I wore it to work and it lasted about seven or eight hours on skin.
Clarification: I haven’t smelled the Fabulous by Tom Ford, so this isn’t a direct comparison. It opens with oiled leather that you either love or hate. After a minute, it becomes synthetic and unpleasant; I’m not bothered by the roughness, but the fragrance would be better without that note. It also smells of wet grass and small flowers (gypsophila). At 15 minutes, it settles into a meaty scent (dirty musk or something akin to ambroxan?), with a hint of citrus. By half an hour, vanilla notes emerge and the leather recedes; the flowers sound more natural and the synthetic edge fades. After two hours, the performance remains the same, without standout potency; the scent is consistent, perhaps slightly more musky. Wood and iris form a chord. Verdict: very masculine, synthetic, and linear. Lasts eight hours with soft projection for the first hour and a half, then becomes skin scent. Good value for money.
Friends, I own both, but be warned: they are not even close. TM is quality, longevity, and pure enjoyment. I bought the Maison Alhambra version just to see how similar it was, but it doesn’t come within 15%. The other one smells basic; if you want to smell different, go for it, but don’t claim you’re wearing TM.
