Apparently, There’s a Fragrance Named After Me

Alright, Tom Ford, you’ve outdone yourself. Just when I thought I had found my favourite TF scent, along comes “Fucking Fabulous,” and honestly, I couldn’t agree more—it’s fantastic! I must confess, I was drawn to the name even before catching a whiff of it. I found myself at the bustling Tom Ford counter at Holt Renfrew, greeted by a team of super-friendly staff who asked, “How can we assist you?” Brace yourself—I couldn’t resist blurting out, “Apparently, you have a new fragrance named after me, it’s called Fucking Fabulous.” I have no idea where I found the audacity — but the timing was flawless. A full comedy sketch. A first for me.

This fragrance is undoubtedly for the sophisticated crowd, but definitely not for the sweet 16. If you catch my drift. I mean, if you’re going to flaunt something called “Fucking Fabulous,” you can’t shy away from the “Fucking” part. Disappointingly, I noticed the word “Fucking” covered with tape, supposedly due to too many complaints about the name. This drives me insane! First and foremost, it’s Tom Ford—get over yourselves. If the name offends you, grab a ” Charlie ” bottle from Revlon. What? They don’t make that anymore? That is precisely my point—you’re not relevant! You shouldn’t even be at the Tom Ford counter. Sorry, that infuriates me.

But let’s talk about the scent

Let’s not dwell on the name; the scent is incredible—leathery lavender with hints of vanilla, amber, and bitter almond. It’s extraordinary, albeit with a hefty price tag of $395 Canadian for a 50 ml bottle. But I guarantee you’ll feel special. I can’t get enough of it; I’m still savouring the fragrance on my wrists from the earlier application—absolutely delightful! So, whether you’re a fan of bold language or exude fabulousness, try it yourself!

Let me know what you think.
