Which Should You Buy?
Tabu is the original 'slutty' smell, a classic that refuses to die. It's a bold, spicy, animalic bomb - love it or hate it, just don't over-spray unless you want to gaslight your enemies.
A budget interpretation of the 1932 classic Dana Tabu, built on the same brash spicy-coriander opening over a powdery amber base with civet and a famously heavy patchouli. It captures the deep oriental character but renders the animalic-resinous depth flatter than the vintage original.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its 'beast mode' performance and strong, spicy-animalic character, Tabu is far too potent for the office. It's best suited for romantic dates or evening formal events where its commanding presence can shine, though some enjoy it casually when applied sparingly.
Seasons
The spicy, powdery amber and animalic base is deep and warm, blooming in cooler autumn and winter weather.
Occasions
Its bold, sensual oriental character suits evenings, formal wear and dates over daytime casual or sport.
