Which Should You Buy?
A quintessentially fresh floral with juicy pear and airy freesia, this is the ultimate everyday fragrance for those who want to smell clean, elegant and quietly radiant.
Rebel Aromas' inspired-by take on Jo Malone's English Pear & Freesia. Forbidden Fruits swaps the crisp, minimal pear-freesia simplicity for a sweeter, louder fruit cocktail, gaining sweetness but losing the original's clean, understated elegance.
