Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tabu EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Social For Women EDP
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.

Occasions

Best For:
