The Name Says It All: Tom Ford’s Latest Fragrance Is Fabulous

Explicit, exclusive and exquisite—it’s safe to say that Tom Ford’s latest scent definitely isn’t your average fragrance.

Fabulous is the newest addition to Ford’s highly-coveted Private Blend Collection of fragrances—and quite frankly, the name says it all.

Fabulous stands out from the crowd for being instantly memorable and unequivocally unique; in the words of Tom Ford himself, the fragrance smells “f**king fabulous”—and it’s as simple as that.

Designed to make a powerful first impression, Fabulous opens with an intoxicating hit of clary sage and fresh lavender, followed by bitter almond and vanilla inflexions that lead into a heart of rich leather and orris root. Meanwhile, lavish tonka bean and amber undertones embellish the fragrance with a further warmth, whilst refined blonde wood notes deliver a creamy, luxurious finish.

Bold, decadent and unapologetically confident, it’s the perfect way to make a statement with scent—and with a name like that, it’s one that's almost impossible to forget.

Including Fabulous, Tom Ford Private Blend now comprises 16 original, artisanal scents that are all built around a single rare ingredient. Further fragrance notes are then layered to create strikingly complex eau de parfums that are arresting, arousing and unconstrained by gender.

This sense of sophistication is carried through to Tom Ford Private Blend’s signature sleek packaging. Fabulous is available in a limited-edition refillable black atomiser wrapped in soft black leather with its name printed in contrasting white.

The 50ml flacon has been designed to resemble a chess piece, whilst the 250ml decanter has been so beautifully carved that it would be a crime for it to sit anywhere other than in pride of place on your dressing table.

A matte black set-up box, complementing the matte monochrome shades of each bottle, completes the look.

It’s only fitting that a fragrance this fabulous received a fabulous launch party to match. Over 200 VIPs—including celebrities Sunny Wang, Jiang Tian, Li Chen, Du Jiang and Huo Siyan—enjoyed an unforgettable olfactory journey at the Tom Ford Private Blend Experience, held at Beijing’s Time Museum on May 10.
