Fabulo Intense

Fabulo Intense by Maison Alhambra delivers a highly convincing, close-to-the-original replica of Tom Ford's iconic 'F'ing Fabulous. The scent opens with a crisp lavender and clary sage clarity, quickly transitioning into a soft, creamy almond and vanilla heart balanced by an aromatic woody base of cashmeran and tonka. The overall profile is powdery and slightly earthy, evoking mature sophistication — not childlike or out of place, but rather a refined, mature masculinity. While some reviewers found the initial impression to be overly leather-heavy or artificial, many noted that with time and maceration, the fragrance settles into a smooth, wearable elegance, closer to the original than most clones. It performs well on fabric and remains noticeable for several hours, though longevity on skin is typically moderate, lasting around four to five hours. The scent is best suited for evening wear and autumn or winter, appealing to those who appreciate fine balance between sweetness, woodiness, and creaminess without the overt brand appeal. It's especially well-received by those seeking a cost-effective alternative to the exceedingly expensive original, with strong approval among older gentlemen and fragrance enthusiasts.
