Anna Sui Forbidden Affair is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2010. Forbidden Affair opens with Red Currant, Lemon, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rose, Raspberry, and Pomegranate, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Musk, and Violet. Anna Sui's Forbidden Affair carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Divisive yet delightful, Forbidden Affair is a fruity explosion that promises a whimsical, youthful charm, though some might find it more 'cat pee and Skittles' than forbidden romance. Don't expect longevity, but do expect a statement.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Forbidden Affair kicks off with a juicy, tart burst of red and blackcurrant, brightened by a zing of lemon. This lively opening soon gives way to a heart of sweet raspberry and pomegranate, nestled amongst soft rose petals. As it settles, a gentle, powdery base of violet and musk emerges, grounded by a hint of Virginia cedarwood, creating a playful, berry-focused scent that's often likened to grape soda or sweet wine.
