Which Should You Buy?
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.
Perfume Parlour's Extraordinary chases Tom Ford F***ing Fabulous - the marzipan-almond-and-leather signature with its herbal lavender lift survives, but this dupe renders the dense, dramatic original thinner and shorter-lived, losing the confident projection that defines the real thing.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The rich almond, leather and warm tonka-amber base are made for cold autumn and winter wear and feel heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Bold, sweet and dramatic - suited to evenings, dates and dressed-up occasions; too statement-making and warm for sport or office daytime.
