The review
Brutal Story No. 73 scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Fucking Fabulous.
The Clone sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Fucking Fabulous's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $90 per 100ml it costs 89% less than Fucking Fabulous — the 9th cheapest of 15 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Clone publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Tom Ford Fucking Fabulous is bitter almond and clary sage at first, orris and leather at its heart and Tonka Bean, Cashmeran and vanilla at the end. The Clone set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- bitter almond
- clary sage
Heart
- orris
- leather
Base
- Tonka Bean
- Cashmeran
- vanilla
For the one who wants creamy leather laced with bitter almond and clary sage, a soft powdery provocation as hedonistic as Studio 54.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
