How to read this

Top notes arrive first and last around fifteen minutes before giving way to the heart. The heart notes carry the true personality of the fragrance for the first one to two hours. The base notes emerge slowly and are what remains on skin and fabric long after the rest has faded. They define the lasting impression and the depth of F***ing Fabulous.

About F***ing Fabulous

F***ing Fabulous performs best primarily in cooler months when ambient warmth amplifies its character. Its woody character and strong sillage make it well suited for signature occasions. Because it fills a room and announces itself confidently from across a space, you can calibrate your application to the setting. Starting with two sprays on pulse points and adjusting from there is a reliable approach.
