The Fabulous and I - and how it became my signature scent.
The love for perfumes was awakened in me by Oud Wood. After dreaming about it for several nights following my first test, I managed to get it at a relatively low price. At first, I thought it would become my signature scent - but one must admit that it simply doesn't fit many occasions.
So I came across Fabulous - ordered a sample directly in the souk and tested it. My first thought was - burnt rubber... Sambuca... Bitter... I've never smelled anything like it before.
My friends all described it as woody and bulky - but by the third time wearing it, I absolutely couldn't understand that. This scent is pure extravagance combined with ostentatious elegance for me. Sitting in all black, black turtleneck in a bar and perceiving Fabulous in the background, something changed in me. I sit up straighter, feel thoroughly "fabulous" and confident. The leather note in this fragrance is the most beautiful interpretation of leather in a perfume that I have smelled since.
I tested several dupes - but none come even close to this insane scent. Even though the sillage was just slightly above average for me, I knew - I had to get the 100ml bottle. Thanks to the souk, I was able to get it at a relatively low price.
... and what can I say - Tom Ford F Fabulous and I have been inseparable since that day. Even though many I ask don't celebrate the scent as much, I would never think of turning away from it. I wear perfume primarily for myself and for the effect it has on me. And so far, no other perfume has come close.
Even though it is far too expensive - when you love something as much as I love Fabulous, you are also willing to pay that price (or of course, you are lucky at the souk).
