trying to wash out my language with a little less profanity and refrain from swearing too much… decided to challenge it today by wearing a bold, avant garde scent. as jeremy fragrance likes to call it, today’s scent is Mr. Fabulous by Tom Ford. this released back in 2017 and was purposely written to be both avant garde and utilize shock value as a marketing stance, as Tom Ford used to do with his brand. while the name suggests something that’s largely deconstructive and a bold counter to fragrances, the actual scent profile is somewhat mass-appealing and dare i say, a tad bit underwhelming. it’s definitely not your typical designer scent, as it blends leather and vanilla, with powdery, mature and herbal nuances. the opening notes are dry and herbal, a blend of clary sage, that transition to almond, vanilla, leather, and a slight buttery orris root, before descending into a woody, leather, amber and tonka dominated base. this scent is largely an herbal and leather blend, with a beautiful matte black bottle design. if you like the look of leather jackets, fast black cars and rainy neon nightlife, this scent is for you. this is definitely one of my favorite takes on leather, but i don’t give this higher than a 7/10 because of the atrocious price point, and while bold, it doesn’t last long enough on my skin, although i HAVE been using very carefully and conservatively on this sample, so using more might help lol. overall a great scent, just wish it was less expensive. fantastic layer with bitter peach.

Trying something new, going to plan a weekly work rotation. What do you guys think? I wonder if i can stick to it.
