To me, this is the most synthetic Tom Ford fragrance I’ve heard. The lavender gives me a migraine, so I can’t wear it, although I like those two notes. I gifted it to someone, and when I smelled it on them, it was much more acceptable to me, with the lavender completely imperceptible. So, while tastes differ, I don’t see it as particularly unisex.
An aroma you must try before buying. A strong and pleasant opening where leather and vanilla dominate with a subtle touch of lavender. As it dries down, the leather becomes very dominant with vanilla in the background; I think it’s very masculine. The longevity is excellent and the projection acceptable. I see it as a night fragrance, especially in autumn and winter. My recommendation is to test it before buying due to the price; you can’t afford to buy blindly.
It didn’t blow my head away, but between this Fucking Fabulous and Oud, I prefer this one because it doesn’t feel as feminine or aggressive; Oud is very aggressive with lots of leather. However, I’ll keep testing this Jodidamente Fabuloso to see how it goes.
This is legendary; you either hate it or love it, there’s no middle ground. Here, they attempted a crazy experiment that resulted in a rare but peculiar and incredible scent. It lives up to its name; it’s fucking fabulous. In my opinion, it’s in the top 3 of Tom Ford alongside Tuscan/Ombré Leather and Noir Extreme. We have lavender, plenty of vanilla, exquisite bitter almond, and leather—a rare but original combination that blew my mind. I hope they release it in the commercial line as it’s so expensive; I bought 50ml for $400 and it’s worth it. I consider it unisex, it projects well for about 2 hours and lasts 8–10 hours without issues, and it clings very well to clothes. I’d recommend not buying it blind due to the price; test it first. The bottle design is also very cool.
A fragrance you must smell and test on your skin before purchasing. The opening is extraordinary and lives up to its name: leather, vanilla, lavender, tonka bean, and something caramel-like. It’s vibrant and attractive. Later, it evolves with white woods, lily, and amber, though the leather remains central. It’s a must for anyone venturing into niche perfumery. The blend creates a particular, distinguished, and luxurious aroma—very sensual and perfect for skin-to-skin occasions. Pros: a unique and hard-to-imitate scent that smells extremely luxurious, with a masterful opening. Cons: it’s expensive, and its trail and longevity are moderate. You won’t generate many compliments due to limited projection; only those who intentionally come close will notice.
Delightful. Of the Tom Ford fragrances I’ve tried so far, this is one of my favourites. The bitter almond note stands out, a note that has had me in love since Pegasus. In this FF, it takes a different path—darker, more masculine, and intimate, yet equally strange and mysterious. Unfortunately, due to the price, it’s far out of my reach.
@margott, you should respect all opinions. It’s very bold to claim that perfume lovers are influenced by collective suggestion and to call us sheep for buying it.
Perhaps suitable only for very expert and fussy noses, but I simply couldn’t handle this mess. It’s a very strange and dark scent, smelling synthetic and of burnt suede with a bitter floral touch, likely due to the almond note. For the price, it’s a rip-off; nothing compares to Tobacco Vanille or Tuscan Leather. Damn, this has nothing to do with Fabulous—it smells like melted, frizzy-haired dolls washed with cheap cleaner and shoe polish. It has luxury ingredients but a grotesque combination that lingered on my wrist for hours; a proper disgrace.
It’s not quite as dark as Tuscan Leather; instead, it feels more like Ombré Leather—soft with sweet notes that don’t weigh you down. I loved wearing it in winter when the temperature was below 16°C, but in summer it becomes very heavy.
I am a Tom Ford fanatic and this fragrance is a fabulous jewel in the line of the exquisite. It has a floral and powdery opening that even makes you think of something feminine, but soon the leather, vanilla and almond kick in, projecting more in the first hour. Once settled, from the two-hour mark, the leather dominates, but not like Ombre or Tuscan Leather, but rather a more floral and powdery one. It is a special scent, not one to buy blindly; I can’t find anything similar. The first hour has beastly projection; for me, it projected for 1h30, 2h without fail. On skin, it lasts over 8h. From my point of view, it is not for all occasions; it is for special moments, cold days and nights.
Tom Ford Fucking Fabulous is one of my favourite fragrances; I absolutely adore it and it never fails to make me sigh. It’s a solid 10 out of 10.
If you mix a custard dessert with walnuts, body milk and talc with walnut shells… you have the main scent of this perfume. It is silky, creamy, melting, almond-scented, light yet powerful, dense and corporeal, milky. It reminds me of coffee-with-milk sweets and almond dulce de leche. Perhaps the perfect image is a summer night on the terrace of an ice cream parlour with a large glass of custard and walnuts with syrup, a parasol and a sparkling sparkler. Or simply pure bitter almond. Judge for yourselves.
I couldn’t stand the opening. For those who can handle it, enjoy it.
I tried this before and they’ve just delivered it today; honestly, they’ve skipped the top notes entirely as it smells of fine leather, almond and vanilla within seconds. I’ve never noticed declared notes so well as in this Tom Ford. It’s a very wearable and pleasant scent, nothing dark or mysterious, more commercial. Top-tier quality, we’ll see about the longevity.
I tried it once. What on earth is that note at the beginning? Is it me, or is it something horrendous? The dry-down, however, is another story entirely—I do like it.
Absolute treasure, but it has two downsides: the price and the fact that I bought the Arabic clone Fabulo Intense to use it more often without spending so much. And honestly, the clone lasts longer on my skin than the original Tom Ford.
A spicy, distinctive, and well-made fragrance; the price is too high, as is always the case with this brand. The projection is very potent while the dry-down is subtle; highly recommended.
Smells of bitter almond, leather, and a sweet hint of vanilla and tonka, although the opening is tricky and reminiscent of bedbugs or katanga.
To be honest it smells clean and sexy perfect for night outings whether informal or formal. The almond adds a formal touch but the dry down stays sweet and vanilla-like with a clean scent. Ideal for the office or a select event. The best TF I’ve tried so far.
Black licorice opening with a hint of lavender followed immediately by musk that dominates everything even if it’s not listed on the label. That clean addictive soap scent is pure musk or very similar. Bitter notes prevail with a sweet counterpoint. Almond leather I’m not sure what else but it’s blended brilliantly. Impressive intensity and quality that lifts the soul. The talc-like creaminess envelops it all while tonka bean elevates it on the top note. After the initial burst it becomes almost flat and that’s just fucking fabulous. It leaves me speechless; it’s simply excellent. A Swiss Army knife for any occasion. Tom Ford never disappoints. The only doubt is whether it will tire you out and become common in the nose. Either way others love it and you must try it more. Again I wouldn’t pay what they ask not even in my wildest fantasies of wealth. Ladies and gentlemen seek out clones but approach the sun without burning yourself along the way.
The name fits perfectly. When you are overexposed to current designer vanilla perfumes (JPG, PR, etc.), you realise that almost all are the same because they share bases, so nothing surprises anymore. Just as certain leather perfumes tend to be very aggressive and animalic. Then comes this fragrance that mixes those notes in such a perfect and unique way that it generates pleasure in smelling it, and your nose is capable of appreciating and understanding it. Over time it becomes more and more addictive, you don’t want to stop using it. It performs excellently (10h+), with 5 sprays you are very well covered, 8 or more if you want to burn noses. In the air it is imposing, it smells like what it costs and people will know that without a doubt. It is exclusively for winter, even in autumn it can become cloying. Its MA dupe is very similar but lacks certain molecules that make it feel inert, it’s like a dental piece with root canal treatment, it works but lacks life.
I feel I have already smelled something similar, I think it’s from some magazine 🤔, so a vintage scent comes to mind. I notice it is very unisex and somewhat mature. As for longevity and projection, it is a beast. I don’t like it nor do I dislike it. Do not buy blindly.
Tom Ford’s Fucking Fabulous combines mainly leather and almond with the aromatic touch of lavender. I must admit it is a highly original scent; I never perceived such a profile. Nevertheless, it is a fragrance that I dislike immensely; I have tried and worn it on numerous occasions and I fail to understand or share the positive comments. I recommend that you try it and draw your own conclusions; you may love it, or like me, find that you dislike it.
Tom Ford perfumes are extremely difficult, this is no exception, at least for me. Let’s put it in context: it smells like a freshly bathed baby when his grandfather is holding him and giving him a whack of stale tobacco. There it is, your Fucking Fabulous for 11,200 Mexican pesos at Palacio de Hierro. Utterly not because it generates supreme disgust in me.
It is one of the best things I have ever smelled in my life, the only Tom Ford I like.
This doesn’t smell like ‘I like your perfume’. It smells like ‘Who the hell are you and why do I want to keep smelling you?’. Don’t expect compliments. It opens with bitter almond and surgical lavender: clean but with bad intentions. The leather comes in quickly, rough and dominant, as if you were in an art gallery smelling of whip and expensive champagne. Tonka and cashmere give it body, but without softening it entirely. It doesn’t want to please you, it wants to mark you. Powerful projection, obscene longevity. It is not seductive in the classic sense; it is a perfume that doesn’t ask for permission, and if you need to ask, this isn’t for you. Is it worth the cost? If you have personality and budget: yes. If not, you’ll smell like you’ve dressed up.
Many reviews come from trying it in an airport or a perfumery in a fleeting moment: a spray from a poorly stored bottle in the light… that simply won’t work. After years of use, I’m reviewing it with more knowledge. It is an iris perfume with a high load of this ingredient of very high quality, which acts as a cohesive glue and makes it special and imitable, despite so many failed inspirations due to a lack of iris. It is Tom Ford’s version of the leather, iris and tonka perfumes that are popular today and that every house should have, like Dior, Prada, Givenchy, etc. It opens with lavender and sage with metallic notes settling over a base of bitter almond, leather and vanilla, culminating in a very integrated orris patina, difficult to perceive as such, but there to make everything sparkle, make sense and be an elegant, warm and original work of art. It seems a delight that makes you feel secure, important, happy and grateful to be alive. Despite its unjustified price and poor performance (on my skin it lasts 4 or 5 hours), it is incredible.
I don’t know, it doesn’t seem like a bad perfume to me, but it is a little difficult to wear. To my nose, it smells of metallic soap. It is clean, but I’m not sure whether to recommend it for everyday wear or necessarily for a date.
It is the epitome of contemporary perfumery: misunderstood genius, class and sophistication bottled. Sublime and irrepeatable, an ode to perfumery. My words are few to express my passion for this strong, beautiful scent that almost touches perfection and condemns the ignorance of those who dismiss it. Loved by those, like myself, who have known how to appreciate this work of art, because it goes beyond a simple perfume. Its interpretation of sweet and bitter almonds with a constant leather presence is sublime, free of pretension: sometimes powdery almonds, other times with a slight tobacco note, but always with strong character, elegance and class. The ultimate representation of elegance, longevity and trail, ideal only for special, formal and intimate occasions in cold weather.
It’s a pity that Fragrantica doesn’t incorporate excellent fragrances from my country, Argentina. I don’t have the original because its price exceeds the minimum wage of any worker in my country; it’s exclusive. But I smelled it in a perfumery and now I’m using FCKNG Fashion by Yves D’orgeval, an Argentine brand of dupes, and it’s muuuy similar; you can feel the iris (though synthetic) and it lasts a long time. Recommended for fellow countrymen. Buy blind for $20-25.
Bought it in Bern, Switzerland. I wasn’t planning to, but after smelling it at the Tom Ford boutique, wow, I fell in love. It smells of rich leather, woodiness, with hints of vanilla and sandalwood. The longevity and sillage are excellent; on my skin, it lasted 15 hours from morning until night. The price is very high, but it’s totally worth it. It’s one of my favourites from the Private Blend line, and as the name suggests, it smells fucking fabulous. I’d give it a 10/10.
FF by Tom Ford is a quite unique perfume with a lot of personality; this obviously isn’t for everyone. It’s for people who already have a vast knowledge of perfumery. The quality with which it’s built is bottled genius. To be objective, this fragrance got me compliments as many times as I dressed in black or formally. Also, over time using it, I perceived that people don’t understand what they’re smelling, just leaving comments like ‘what scent is that, come closer to notice it’, implying the perfume draws attention, but in its own way. Fragrance: 10/10 Longevity: 8.2/10 Originality: 9.2/10 Compliments: 7.5/10 Fucking Fabulous: 10/10
There are perfumes that simply exist. And others, very few, that impose their presence as a living declaration. Fucking Fabulous by Tom Ford doesn’t ask permission: it bursts in, conquers, and stays. For me, it’s one of the great exponents of contemporary perfumery. It’s bottled luxury, refined arrogance, pure power. This fragrance doesn’t just smell good: it’s an attitude, a way of being in the world. It evokes someone confident, sophisticated, with impeccable manners, shining with elegance and sensuality. A natural seducer, charismatic, magnetic, and yes, perhaps a bit selfish… but irresistibly charming. The kind of guy who walks into a room and without speaking has already said it all. I remember the first time I tried it. I didn’t know what I was smelling, but its name—provocative and resounding—was too short to describe the astonishment. I applied a single spray at 2 pm and couldn’t stop smelling myself every few minutes. Each inhalation revealed a new dimension, a new detail, as if the fragrance were unfolding layer by layer. That night, before saying a word, a friend told me: ‘Mate, you smell bloody fantastic. What did you put on?’. The scent is hypnotic. It opens with a unique lavender, far from classic barber codes. Here, the lavender is daring, modern, sensual. It’s wrapped in impeccable quality black leather: neither warm nor cold, perfectly balanced, with a provocative and almost narcissistic attitude. The leather intertwines with powdery iris adding dusty elegance, while bitter almonds and white woods give depth. All this gently caressed by a subtle amber that adds a golden warmth, as if fingertips were stroking a shiny surface. Fucking Fabulous isn’t a perfume you simply wear. It’s a perfume that takes you. It transforms you. It invites you to act with more aplomb, style, and intention. It’s an extension of character, a personal manifesto that feels as much as it smells. I can’t find words to do it justice. Saying it’s ‘art’ seems too short. But if art is that which moves, transforms, and leaves a mark, then Fucking Fabulous is, without a doubt, a masterpiece. Thanks to Tom Ford for making this creation possible, marking history in fashion and perfumery, and contributing with jewels like Tuscan Leather, Ombre Leather, Tobacco Vanille, Noir de Noir, Oud Wood, Black Orchid, Tobacco Oud, Costa Azurra, and almost all his perfumes. All reflect a fragment of his soul: sophisticated, sensual, bold, unforgettable. ‘This is Fucking Fabulous’.
An exquisite perfume dominated by lavender and chamomile; that floral duo is very pleasant and intense for the first hour. Afterwards, very balanced, iris, leather, and vanilla interact, giving the perfume a very pleasant depth. Very good longevity and projection, a perfume for any occasion, very wearable for both sexes.
It’s a beautiful scent. Brutal and tremendously attractive, as if a confident man in an expensive good leather jacket were hugging you… and had just taken a cough syrup. I see it as more masculine than unisex, though that depends on each person’s taste. The longevity and trail are good.
On me, Fucking Fabulous smells like mixing The Honeykeeper lavender shampoo with a silver spoon, topped with a hint of oregano over a clean, fresh sweater, all with that elegant and eccentric finish very typical of the brand. I enjoyed it immensely: it left a trail of a metre for five hours before settling close to the skin. It stands out greatly on cashmere on clothes. The first time I wore it, I noticed it didn’t evolve, staying the same as at the beginning, which I appreciated. It’s totally unisex, with a sweet nuance but nothing gourmand, perfect for a cold day. Conversely, wearing it under the heat of my old car at the McDonald’s drive-thru at 3 pm was overwhelming. It’s a perfume that asks for fresh weather to shine.
The name says it all. The moment the first spray hits, you’re surprised by lavender and a bitter, creamy almond. As minutes pass, leather and tonka bean enter the scene. Finally, close to the skin, it leaves an exceptional combination: aromatic flowers, leather, and a clean scent. More than a fragrance, it’s an attitude. It’s one of those perfumes that gives you personality and, when worn, fills you with ego. I’d define it as sexy, bold, elegant, sophisticated, provocative, irreverent, and even despotic. If someone smells it, they’ll ask: ‘But what are you wearing?!’ For all these reasons, it’s my favourite perfume and my secret weapon. Without a doubt, a masterpiece. Scent: 10/10 Longevity: 9/10 Sillage: 8/10 Projection: 8/10 Conclusion: If you have a niche background, try it, but bear in mind it’s polarising; you either love it or hate it.
I went for it guided by YouTubers and nothing more. I turned around. It’s like a mix of things.
Fucking Fabulous is the kind of guy in jeans and a leather jacket that everyone stares at: a bit arrogant, mysterious, and dangerously seductive.
If anyone has tried it, confirm… It’s a CLONE of Kenzo Homme Boissé 2010 (no longer sold), just with a cool name and three times the price. That said, it’s magnetic and potent as its predecessor. I owned it, and this Tom Ford is just as fabulous.
