Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a rich, boozy vanilla that’s either deliciously addictive or overwhelmingly cloying. The metallic edge adds a divisive twist; some find it intriguing, others just odd.
A sweet contender that divides opinions with its candied charm. If you love the sugary side of life, Forbidden has your name on it.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent, sweet, and boozy character, even with moderate projection, makes it a bit much for the office but perfect for close encounters. It's versatile enough for casual wear in cooler weather, but might be too playful for very formal settings.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
With its sweet gourmand profile, Forbidden is less suited for the office but thrives on dates and casual outings, where its playful aroma can shine. The strong sillage and longevity make it memorable but potentially disruptive in more formal settings.
