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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Forbidden opens with a dazzling rush of crisp red apple wrapped in a luscious blanket of warm cognac, creating an intoxicating blend that entices from the first spritz. The heart reveals a medley of candied fruits, reminiscent of a fairground treat, layered over a hint of rich cedar that adds an unexpected depth. As it dries down, sweet tonka bean and smooth sugar cane emerge, offering a cozy and inviting warmth that lingers long after initial application. Perfect for those who appreciate a sugary yet sophisticated aroma.
