Fabulush Strong

Tom Ford's original split opinion hard, and Fabulush keeps that split intact. It's our take on Tom Ford's F***ing Fabulous, about 92%.

Lavender and clary sage open it before the centre takes over: bitter almond, leather and a soft vanilla, with orris keeping it smooth. It dries down on tonka, cashmeran and amber, sweet and leathery at once. There's nothing quiet about it.

A cold-weather, night-time scent, and unisex. The kind of thing that gets either a compliment or a raised eyebrow, rarely nothing, so a tester first is sensible.

The Perfumer's Note — Mazhar Hussain Bodla

"A daring leather-and-almond scent with a sweet, lavender edge. Honestly: it's polarising by nature, like the original, so try before you commit."

• Apply on clean, moisturized skin (best after a shower).
• Spray 2–4 times on pulse points: neck, wrists, behind ears, inner elbows.
• Hold the bottle about 10–15 cm away from the skin while spraying.
• Do not rub wrists together – let the fragrance air-dry naturally.
• For extra lasting power, lightly mist on clothes from a distance of 20–30 cm (avoid silk/light fabrics).
