Chris Collins Sweet Taboo is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Nathalie Feisthauer. Sweet Taboo opens with Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, Geranium, and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Benzoin. Chris Collins's Sweet Taboo carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Sweet Taboo is a proper gourmand-leaning spice bomb that swings between cosy chocolatey warmth and a slightly more 'meemaw' barbershop vibe. Divisive, intriguing, and undeniably autumnal.

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

Opens with a rich, inviting blast of cardamom and cinnamon, softened by a touch of clary sage. As it develops, a dark cacao pod and rich coffee accord emerge, subtly intertwined with a hint of geranium. The base settles into a warm, creamy embrace of vanilla, tonka bean, and benzoin, rounded out by a smooth musk that provides a comforting, lasting sweetness.
