In plain words

The main accords of Fabulous are aromatic and leather. It opens with Lavender and Clary Sage, reveals Bitter Almond and Leather at its heart, and dries down to Leather and Tonka Bean. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
