Fucking Fabulous, an eau de parfum from the Private Blend collection launched by Tom Ford in September 2017, is a spicy, amber leather. Clary sage and lavender open onto a leather heart enriched with bitter almond, vanilla and iris, over a base of tonka bean, amber, blond woods and cashmeran. Planned as a limited edition, it stayed in the collection.
The house presents it as an explicit, spicy leather, which it also calls amber; at launch, it spoke of a decadent oriental leather. Six materials are highlighted: bitter almond oil, tonka resinoid, an iris accord, cashmeran, a leather accord and clary sage oil.
Top
Vibrant clary sage and fresh lavender open the fragrance; the house makes it an aromatic entrance that immediately grabs attention. The label, incidentally, names lavender oil and sclareol, the odorous principle of clary sage.
Heart
Bitter almond and notes of vanilla give, according to the house, a rich texture to the leather accord, which the floral iris accord intensifies. Bitter almond, first among the highlighted materials, plays the lead role here.
Base
Tonka bean leads the base, over amber nuances and a blond woods accord that, according to the house, resonate with a luminous warmth. Cashmeran, listed among the key materials without being placed by the house, extends these woods.
What the label declares
The ingredient list published by the house has thirty-three entries. After alcohol, fragrance and water comes tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes, an expansive synthetic wood; it declares numerous allergens, including coumarin, linalool, limonene and alpha-isomethyl ionone.
It also names several natural essential oils, patchouli, bitter orange peel, lavender, bergamot and bitter orange flower, along with vanillin and sclareol. No colorant appears on it.
