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.

Layton is a well-crafted, versatile fragrance with strong performance that genuinely appeals to many in the community, but it remains highly divisive due to its premium $285 price tag that many feel is unjustified compared to cheaper alternatives like Spicebomb Extreme. The scent requires sampling before purchase as it's a polarizing fragrance that either wins people over gradually or disappoints them entirely.
