Fabulous

Name: Fabulous Eau de Parfum
Brand: SMEL.

SMEL. Fabulous is an Eau de Parfum. Fabulous opens with Almond and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Leather, Iris, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Amber, Tonka Bean, and Cashmeran. SMEL.'s Fabulous carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Copycat's Fabulous captures the bitter-almond-leather-tonka backbone of Tom Ford's Fucking Fabulous convincingly on the opening, but the drydown thins out where the original's tonka-cashmeran base keeps building.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Fall Winter

A dense, sweet leather-amber composition suited to cold-weather evenings; too heavy and cloying for warm-weather daytime wear.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual

Bold and provocative enough for a night out or a date; far too loud and unconventional for the office.

About

Tom Ford's Fucking Fabulous made its name on a provocative bitter-almond-leather-tonka combination, and Copycat's version opens in genuinely similar territory: bitter almond and clary sage give the same slightly sweet, nutty edge, while a leather-orris-vanilla heart brings the daring, boudoir-adjacent character that made the original so talked-about. It's one of the closer note-matches in this lineup on paper. The gap shows up in the base - Fucking Fabulous is known for a tonka-cashmeran-amber drydown that keeps intensifying and clinging to skin and clothing for most of the night, while this version's base settles more quickly into a softer, sweeter amber-vanilla that loses the leathery edge sooner than the original. It's still a fun, addictive-leaning scent for an evening out that leans into the same bold, unapologetic mood as the flagship, but the shorter arc and softer leather mean it reads as a lighter, sweeter take rather than the full, room-owning original.
