For some reason, it smells to me like Raid/suede with cheap Belen furniture cleaner. I don’t know the FF by TF, of course, but this perfume is not for me.

I had expectations for this perfume since I wasn’t willing to go for its inspiration because of the obvious cost issue. It pleasantly surprised me: the opening is powerful, with lavender very much upfront, the iris touch appearing behind and in tune with an almond and a leather that I felt were very present. In the drydown, it tends to become sweeter and warmer and ends up turning something complex in principle into a quite pleasant and linear scent, coinciding with a couple of comments below. Very good performance and very pleasant on skin as the hours go by. Recommended. 9/10

The opening is super alcoholic; you can tell it’s not well macerated. I tried both, and this one is not successful at all. I’ll give it another chance in the fall, but I don’t think it will reach the compositional quality of Fucking Fabolous. For what it’s worth, I couldn’t ask for more.

A fierce perfume, poorly finished, but sweet; the leather note is missing. I’ll keep it for a while to see if it improves, but at first sniff it’s really bad.

literally FUCKING FABOULOUS. That opening of lavender and almond, and it turns as soft as cashmere at the end.

I don’t know TF. I tried Fabulo Intense a couple of times before buying this ‘new’ Fusion Intense and, at first glance, I find no differences. It’s the first Arabian perfume that, when new, performed like a beast on first application. Sprayed at 8 AM, it kept giving off constant bursts for 5 hours. It remained perceptible until the 8-hour mark, and when I ran my hand over my neck at the 12-hour mark, it was still close to the skin. A strong opening of lavender, leather, and almond, which sweetens over time. It’s not as linear as others. Very pleasant scent. Price in my country: 14 USD.

For some reason, it smells to me like Raid/chamois with cheap Belem furniture cleaner. I don’t know the FF by TF, obviously, but this perfume is not for me.

Super alcoholic opening, you can tell it’s not well macerated. I tried both and this one is nowhere near ready. I’ll give it another shot in the fall, but I don’t think it’ll reach the quality of Fucking Fabolous. For the price, I couldn’t ask for more.

A fierce perfume, poorly finished, sweeter than expected; the leather note is on me. I’ll let it sit for a while to see if it improves, but at first sniff, it’s terrible.

I don’t know the TF. I tried Fabulo Intense a couple of times before buying this ‘new’ Fusion Intense, and at first glance, I can’t find any differences. It’s the first Arabic perfume I’ve owned that, being brand new and on its first application, performed like a beast. Sprayed at 8 AM, it was throwing constant bursts for 5 hours. It remained noticeable until 8 PM, and even at 12 PM when I ran my hand over my neck, it was still right on the skin. A strong opening of lavender, leather, and almond that sweetens as time passes. Not as linear as others. Very pleasant scent. Price in my country: $14 USD.
