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 - Freaky Ace EDP
Freaky Ace keeps Tom Ford's clary sage-almond-leather-tonka signature intact from Fucking Fabulous, trading the designer's maximalist confidence for a softer, more restrained gourmand-leather blend.

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.

Freaky Ace

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Almond-leather-tonka base is a cold-weather gourmand; too heavy and cloying for summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual Formal

Sensual leather-almond pairing suits date nights and evenings more than daytime office wear.
