Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fabulous EDP
Divisive, polarising, and impossible to ignore. Some find it a masterpiece of complex leathery sophistication, others a medicinal baby wipe nightmare. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent that backs up its bold name.
Statement
Our Verdict - Funtastic Extrait
Prepare for a beast; this one is an absolute powerhouse. Funtastic is a love-it-or-hate-it leather bomb, divisive for its intensity but universally praised for its incredible projection and longevity. Not for the faint of heart, it's a bold take on a familiar profile.

Season and Occasion Fit

Fabulous

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage and intense, luxurious profile, this is best suited for evening occasions like dates or formal events. It's too bold and potentially distracting for an office environment, and definitely not a gym scent.

Funtastic

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

This fragrance boasts nuclear projection and beastly longevity, making it largely unsuitable for office environments where subtlety is key. Its bold, warm, and sensual accords of leather and almond make it perfect for dates and evening events, while its strong presence might be overwhelming for casual wear, especially in warmer weather.
