Funtastic

I really like this one. When I first got a sample I put it on and kept thinking this smells "fun", a very joyfully happy aura. It lasts quite a while, at least 7 hours with solid projection. I got this sample the same time as I got Rome(memo Italian leather), and carve on (memo Irish leather), and when I sampled both Rome and carve on, I thought these are all very similar with the leather accord. I love Rome, I picked up a bottle of that after sampling it, it reminds me of a much more versatile/wearable version of interlude man. So when I considered picking up a bottle of funtastic and went back and sprayed it on my hand I kept comparing it to Rome, carve on, aromatic conflict(interlude man, one of my top 5 favorites along with aromatic conflict black), and really didn't know if I wanted this one anymore. But I decided to get a 30ml bottle, because it had some unique differences. It's sat for a while and I don't think I wore it since I got the bottle a few months ago, in the back of my mind it wasn't as good as Rome or aromatic conflict, but I decided to wear it to work and I really really enjoy this scent, it's different from Rome carve on and aromatic conflict for sure. It has the almond and slightly powdery smell in Greek horse(pdm pegasus), but with that great leather base. I also get a slightly sharp? Somewhat fruity smell lingering on top or perhaps just marrying with the mids that may be the Clary sage? Which I really like. Overall it's joyful fun and very pleasant to wear, like a happy cloud, never felt like anyone would be offended if they caught a whiff but maybe intrigued because it's a somewhat unique and different. If you like how the leather is used in the memo Paris fragrances, not overbearing or necessarily distinctively leathery, this is worth sampling.

I really enjoyed this one! Never smelt Tom Ford's FF, but assuming it smells like this, I dig it! As soon as you pop the cap off, and sniff the trigger, you get the sweetness of the tonka mixed with I'm assuming the orris root, with a hint of almond. As well as some woody notes which I do really like. The baby wipe vibe is there, but if you can get past that (which you will when the scent dries down) you may like it more. As it dries down, that smell of the baby wipe esque goes away and leaves you with a powdery, smooth, herbal and almondy concoction. The sage comes out to almost like a marijuana hemp smell that is in no way offensive or off putting. As far as classification. I wouldn't say this is a gourmand. It's sweet, but not overly sweet. The sweetness helps balance the kind of clean fresh smell you get from the "baby wipes". I'd say this is a powdery woody fragrance. For a fraction of the price, you can't go wrong with this. Smells slightly synthetic, as the notes listed are most likely accords or highly concentrated oils rather than extracts or juices. (I may not even know what I'm talking about) I can't hate on this simply because this is one of a kind. But for a clone, you can't beat it. For a blind buy (which I don't do very often or even at all) it's pretty good. 9/10

My bottle smells identical to Fucking Fabulous after sitting for about 2 months. The longevity might be a bit less than the OG at the moment, but if it is like my other Alexandria Fragrances, then it will increase the older it gets.

Sweet/ambery. Woody, manly, a little mature, sophisticated. Powerful.

This is more "inspired by" F-Fab, I'd say. It's close but off a little; I smell more lavender in F-Fab, and more of a spiciness in the Funtastic. Funtastic seemed more masculine to me. Funtastic is stronger, and longer lasting, and if you like F-Fab, you'd probably like this, especially if you want it to lean masculine. As a woman who wants to wear it, I prefer a more feminine leaning, so for me it didn't work. It also made my tongue swell, and that is just a note to those with sensitivities like me. The F-Fab does not make my tongue swell. And I don't think it's because of "cheap" ingredients because TF's Lost Cherry and Bitter Peach also make my tongue swell. It's just something in certain fragrances to which I am allergic. All that said, I like this scent, just not for me, and just not for my body chemistry (allergies).
