The community is divided on Fabulous, with the actual fragrance receiving moderate appreciation for its quality and unique almond-leather profile, but significant criticism for its high price point and polarizing scent character. Much of the negativity stems from Tom Ford's controversial marketing strategy and the fragrance's divisive name rather than the scent itself, making it a classic case of marketing overshadowing product merit.

Grand Soir is widely praised by the r/fragrance community as an exceptional niche fragrance with a strong opening that develops into a sophisticated amber-vanilla composition. The community strongly recommends sampling before purchasing (MFK offers 6 samples for €14) and notes that while it's not similar to Carlisle, it's a masterfully crafted scent with impressive longevity that many consider a collection essential.
