Alexandria Fragrances Forbidden Plum is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018. Forbidden Plum opens with Cinnamon, Saffron, and Plum, settles into a heart of Immortelle, Plum, and Camellia, and dries down to a base of Amber, Oud, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Alexandria Fragrances's Forbidden Plum carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This loud, spiced-plum powerhouse is a divisive one. Fans love the intoxicating, beast-mode performance; detractors find it overpowering, lacking the original's subtlety. You'll either adore its bold confidence or find it far too much.

About

Forbidden Plum opens with a rich, ripe plum note, immediately enveloped by a warm, almost boozy blend of amber and spices. Cinnamon takes centre stage, lending a festive, inviting warmth, while a subtle hum of oud adds depth and a touch of mystery. It eventually dries down to a sweeter, more settled plum with lingering vanilla, maintaining its intense character throughout.
