Fucking Unique - I Love You , I Love You Not

When I ordered a bottling of Fucking Fabulous, I was more than excited. Due to the name I expected a fragrance with real force. A perfume what, in a positive way, full "in the face" goes.
In fact, it is actually the exact opposite, but more about that later.

The first time testing I thought only: "well". Somehow I expected something completely different. I felt the fragrance is not bad, have also worn him a few times, but he has not blown me away. I could not understand how one can spend so much money for a bottle of it.
I have him then a few weeks no longer touched, sometime again test smelled and lo and behold, my perception had changed completely. I suddenly found the fragrance very very very good. I almost couldn't stop smelling the perfume all the time, that's how much I liked it. It was almost certain for me that I would want to buy a bottle and that has to mean something at that price. I then wore it a few more times and left it again. For this comment, I then smelled Fucking Fabulous again and somehow the euphoria faded a bit again. I still think it's great but I'm not sure if a whole bottle is really necessary. Maybe a good confirmation that impulse purchases are not always the best. But I find it somehow exciting how my perception can change several times within half a year. Maybe you guys have experienced something similar before. Let me know it gladly.

But now to the fragrance itself:

As already addressed, the perfume is so not at all with power "in the face". This creation of Tom Ford is creamy, sweet and not at all intrusive. One takes Fucking Fabulous in any case well, the sillage is decent and also about the durability I can not complain. The fragrance floats virtually like an aura around you without disturbing or negatively noticeable. In my opinion, you could almost talk about a kind of luxury room fragrance, positively connoted of course.
The name I find cool, but not quite appropriate. I just associate something else with "Fucking Fabulous".

The blend of almond, vanilla, lavender and tonka bean is easy to detect and makes the scent really unique. Parfums de Marly's Pegasus does have the same scent notes and you can detect some similarity if you like, but there's just nothing that smells like Fucking Fabulous. Feel free to help me out but I just don't know of anything that goes in an identical direction that could be mistaken for this scent. The uniqueness is definitely given with this perfume and I could not remember to have smelled him anywhere else except with a single colleague.

In my opinion, this Tom Ford also has good signature potential. I find him incredibly versatil and often applicable. The summer I would leave something out but otherwise I can imagine the fragrance very well in any remaining season. Also in the office the fragrance would go well. I once had a colleague whose office always smelled very good. I never asked him what it was though. Later when I tested Fucking Fabulous, that memory immediately came back to me. I could almost swear he used that perfume then, too.
As I said, very wearable in spring and winter. If I had to choose, however, I would pick fall as the most optimal season.

In addition, the fragrance is 100% unisex. My girlfriend also likes the fragrance very much and I take it on her also positive.

Whether the price is worth it in the end, everyone must decide for themselves. You definitely get a very uniquen fragrance, but for which you have to be somehow in the mood. I have the feeling that I like him sometimes, sometimes not.
Whether it is enough for a whole bottle with me, I do not know yet. The 10ml filling I want to miss but in any case.

Cheers!
