The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Tom Ford, Fabulous is a fragrance that embodies the brand's provocative spirit. Officially titled 'Fucking Fabulous,' Tom Ford insisted on this bold name despite Estée Lauder Companies' initial hesitation, knowing it would generate buzz and sales. The composition opens with lavender and clary sage before diving into a rich blend of leather, bitter almond, vanilla, orris, tonka bean, cashmeran, white woods, and amber. This mix creates an aromatic warmth that feels both edgy and comforting, fitting Tom Ford's history of controversial and sexually charged marketing.
Apply two sprays for a balanced presence. The leather notes project well, while the vanilla and amber develop gradually over time. This fragrance works best in cooler weather when its warmth feels most inviting.
