Tom Ford Fabulous

Tom Ford Fabulous balances the bitterness of almond with aromatic sage and supple leather, then warms the contrast with cashmeran, tonka and amber.

Profile: Leathery-ambery.

Notes: bitter almond, sage, leather, cashmeran, tonka, amber.

Evolution: bitter almond, aromatic sage and supple leather over warm tonka and amber.

Best for: The immaculate provocateur who likes polished surfaces with one deliberately bitter detail will recognize this mood immediately. It belongs at a late dinner, in a design hotel, or under a sharp jacket on a cool evening; the almond, sage, and leather tension is more aloof than comforting, so softness-seekers should approach it knowingly.

Origin: USA.

Longevity: 8–12 hours.
