You deserve 1 mil. subs!

[@ChristopherSisk]

I've been going through decants of this for a while now and pretty sure I'll be making this my second TF bottle and first private blend. I love wearing this in the early summer evenings. It's so easy to wear casually, forming a nice subtle scent field around you while still able to make its presence known thanks to the way it simply sparkles off the skin. That sparkle reminds me of another favorite, Valour by Robert Graham, which shares a clary sage accord, though employed in a different way. Cheers and many blessings!

[@patrickbateman4541]

Aaron, you are FU**ING FABULOUS!

[@eiswalnuss111]

Very true

[@DJChrisSwift]

Aaron I swear your senses are running on a higher plane! Love it.

[@mikailavanotten9234]

I like how you just say "Do I like it? No I don't." I wish everyone could just be so blunt, without being rude at all. Well said dude! :)

The way he speaks and explains everything is relaxing net level. Way better than most other people.

[@phoebetsau9635]

Very on point review! I liked it but thought it was way overpriced with the performance. That’s why I fell in love with your creations Aaron. 💜🦄

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

That’s very kind. Thank you for your support

[@mrmarkus7964]

Aaron you are one brilliant guy. I said the same thing before watching this review that it has a Cannabis sort of smell to it..

[@rickvargas9944]

I love the floral and leather note on this. I layer this with white suede, which is another favorite of mine. I get a strong leather fragrance with florals and vanilla/almond. I love it. I wish you can review white suede as well!

[@The_Babbling_Brooks]

I adore older Tom Ford. They are some of my favorites but the “newer” stuff is just a not as bold and memorable.

[@clockwork9825]

Yup 👍🏾

Just another great review, my friend! All the education and description are spot on. Stay healthy, make any more like this !

[@martineleven8179]

Oh aaron! Personally I think tom ford frags are ok but well overpriced, please review rasasi, for the money they're excellent, I blind bought rasasi oud al mubakar other day £15 for 100 ml, the opening reminds me of plastic lol, but once it dries down wow, its strong, slightly floral, base notes vaguely reminds of oud wood, rasasi Cambodian oud next, apparently its bloody gorgeous, and rasasi oud al boruzz Indonesia, all very affordable.

[@matthewneufer1758]

Hey Aaron this fragrance sounds interesting would like to have it in my collection some time. Any way we are very excited about your products here in Trinidad 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@ernestj3081]

You’re a fabulous reviewer and a brilliant perfumer

[@jura_rose]

There's an Acqua Di Parma that is made from 99% naturals, apparently, called Colonia Futura. Would love to hear your opinion on it.

[@ernestj3081]

I have it and love it! ADP fragrances are well made and if high quality. Futura, apparently is almost all natural which usually means it’s not a long lasting scent. However, Futura has a long life on my skin. Have you ever tried Assoluta? It’s several years old but a beautiful fragrance IMO

[@grundkvist]

@@ernestj3081 ADP Futura smells like a flowery vetiver. It reminds me of camomille tea, hay and sunshine.

[@ernestj3081]

@@grundkvist great description!!! I love it 🌟

[@TheDominicballard96]

The reason it's so expensive is due to the bottle and how the juice is good for 5 years. I talked to a Tom Ford representative and thats what he told me.

[@anthonyway]

Definitely not biased at all

[@nofnway9918]

Someone just sent me and my wife a ton of your samples. We're blown away! Been watching for some time and finally subscribed today. Sampling Daddy, Homme and Alpha Man today. Full bottle purchases guaranteed. My wife will be purchasing Slut and Goddess as well. I'm nervous for my bank account lol! Great stuff ATH!!!

[@ryansmurda1552]

Great review Aaron! I really enjoy your videos, very informative and educational. Very different from most other fragrance reviewers on youtube. I also agree that Tom Ford fragrances are overpriced. Cheers!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

You want to know an interesting fact. I didn’t do reviews for years as I assumed people wouldn’t be interested in science. I’m not into drama. I also am not a female utilising her breast and lip gloss for likes. So I assumed no one would be interested. I couldn’t be more wrong

[@ryansmurda1552]

For sure man. Great job!

[@luismode-]

This my favorite tom ford fragrance ever, worth every dollar. The smell is unique and special I can’t tell you how the smell is, you should try it and live your own experience. I know it’s a little bit overpriced but again worth it, it has long duration and better for cold weather.

[@alohakamaaina]

It's funny ..I have about 350 frags in my collection..I'd say 75% niche.. but everytime I wear this I get a compliment..even just at supermarket.. I did just get the new oud minerale..I wore that last week on vacation in Ajijic Mexico..got a compliment at dinner.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Very nice!

[@iordancatalin2009]

Just bought this one today a few hours before you've uploaded the video and when i got home i was looking for a review from you about it, because I love your videos and appreciate your professional take on how you're reviewing fragrances. I've been lucky to smell all their private collection today in a shop here in Dublin, but from all of them, Fucking fabulous really caught my attention and I absolutely love this scent. You are right about the performance when comparing with Naxos which I also own- as one philistine does 😁 It does perform a lot weaker, but to my untrained nose they do smell very different. Naxos hits me with a lot of honey as FF reminds me of jasmine or some sort of white sweet florals. Really love your videos and cannot wait to get one of your perfumes, is just so hard to choose, but I got my heart set on a few which I'll hopefully get soon. Oh, and your tune you've got in the background in your videos did my absolute head in because I couldn't find it anywhere, but eventually I got it. 😂 really great tune!

[@bshannon67]

Just a great review - absolutely spot on! Tom Ford is simply way overpriced across the board. I suppose that keeps his frags out of the hands of the rabble...the great unwashed...but it also limits sales. If this were reasonably priced...if ALL his stuff were reasonably priced he'd make up the difference just by the sheer volume of his sales. Apparently however he's perfectly happy limiting sales to the top 5% and could care less about selling to the 95%. I suppose that bestows some measure of prestige on his line. If/when I pay these sort of prices I opt for the Amouage and Xerjoffs of the fragrance world...but even they are slightly overpriced in my estimation...tho not as egregiously as Tom Ford...

[@staymadbitch6498]

Spot on. You really are paying for exclusivity and how much thats worth is down to your own values. I dont mind because the premium seperates me from the sauvage crowd but then again certain TF fragrances such as rose prick are down right scams lol

[@jcorrance]

Loved the way you mention Heliotrope being a precursor of MDMA ... I personally really like this scent but it IS really expensive.

[@kuhliloach8842]

I really love this channel Aaron thanks. Oud Wood sample is amazing. DHI sample on the way. Can't say I'm drawn to trying this one due to the almond, pricing, and annoying name. I didn't think there was any hope for modern "compliant" perfumery until I found this channel.

[@japonica30]

I get the smaller 10 ml bottle. It’s just enough. And maybe layer it? It is sweet and green. But I was tired of too sweet fragrances. This is warm, layered and interesting. I’m a woman and I wear it. I like its light sharpness when it settles on skin. It’s strong yet just a little sweetness.

[@curtisbrewer6008]

I never picked up the mint until you mentioned it but its the first initial spray u detect a minty smell great review as always and I love this fragrance

[@dianastella]

I didn't know how to wear it, I like it but it's too green on me, so I added a little (a tiny bit) of BR540 and OMG, it's like FF found it's higher self, it added the sweetness it needed to be more balanced, the clear sage arose in a shamanic level. Now is really fuckin fabulous. 💅

[@gizzy222]

I am definitely gonna try this with my BR549, my FF is on its way.

Debating on a full presentation bottle. I got that travel atomizer you are using as well.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I think thats always wise. Thats why I do 10ml sizes. My work is not always suitable for everyone

[@thomasmcclain543]

Agree! Fucking Fabulous was fucking awful! Headache inducing sharpness that I couldn’t scrub off fast enough! Please give Mr. Bojnokopff’s purple hat by Fort & Manle a try. That one and Forty Thieves by the same house is the best scents I’ve sampled this year. Both are very unique and amazing! Thank you for another great review.

[@seanp7871]

Purple hat 👍

[@Turmerick]

Fort and Manle frags are beautiful!

[@ChescoYT]

*@Aaron: PLEASE review YSL Tuxedo! I think it's the most romantic frag i've smelt & own out of 250 quality frags, but the performance is abysmal skin scent. It's a rose, patchouli, caramelized bourbon vanilla, with a sprinkle of coriander. I really really want to know your opinion is on this.*

[@exxie1]

Got a decant and I love the scent. I can only wear it to formal night though I think. And like, a 3rd date

[@nicolascolesan9635]

Amazing Review as always. Love it. I would love to see you review the new Collection by Filippo Sorcinelli "X SÉ" "Extrait de Perversion". I think you would love the art behind it and the theme.

[@flightgravity7483]

Tom Ford’s weird line of overpriced fragrances with edgy names doesn’t sit well with me. They’ve mostly been shockingly underwhelming and seem to work better layered with something else.

[@booyayi8652]

Great Review Aaron! Interesting thing that happened to me with this fragrance was when I wore it in the super dry weather of Arizona, US, it smelled really fabulous but when I wore it in a humid weather in Texas it was almost completely different and not so great and also the performance got way worst too!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

That’s the amount of Hedione and ethyl linalool. If a fragrance is high in that they go hazy. And not in a good way. Like nothing to anchor it to the skin

[@booyayi8652]

@@AaronTerenceHughes I see!! Thank you for the information!

[@david-2]

On the price issue, isn't the "big company overhead" more than balanced by Estée Lauder's ability to buy materials in bulk, and at a much lower price than perfumers such as yourself? Great review as always! The only zero BS YT channel. Thanks!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Very true!

But how can this not be incredible? Tom Ford himself thought this was Fucking Fabulous! I’m not crazy about this either but there is something about it that I find intriguing so I’ll keep my bottle for now. I don’t pick up any similarities with Naxos, that’s interesting. I’ve heard PDM Kalan and I can see that.
