Avril Lavigne Forbidden Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010. Forbidden Rose opens with Red Apple, Pepper, and Peach, settles into a heart of Heliotrope, Lotus, and Apple, and dries down to a base of Dark Chocolate, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Avril Lavigne's Forbidden Rose carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you, there's no forbidden rose here. This celebrity fragrance is a surprisingly fresh and subtly sweet fruity floral, a comforting everyday scent with a loyal following, despite its divisive performance and tendency to smell like shampoo.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Spring Summer Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its light, fresh, and often-described 'shampoo-like' quality makes it ideal for casual wear or the office, where it won't overpower. Its generally perceived moderate longevity and sillage mean it's less suited for formal events but can work for a subtle date scent.

About

Forbidden Rose opens with a jolt of fresh red apple and a hint of unexpected pepper, quickly melded with juicy peach. As it settles, delicate lotus and powdery heliotrope emerge, softening the fruit. The base reveals a subtle warmth from vanilla, a whisper of dark chocolate, and creamy sandalwood, making for an understated and slightly sweet drydown.
