Dana 1932 EDP

F £ Acquired

Tabu

Dana Tabu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1932, created by Jean Carles. Tabu opens with Spicy, Bergamot, Orange, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Dana's Tabu carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Tabu is the original 'slutty' smell, a classic that refuses to die. It's a bold, spicy, animalic bomb - love it or hate it, just don't over-spray unless you want to gaslight your enemies.

Given its 'beast mode' performance and strong, spicy-animalic character, Tabu is far too potent for the office. It's best suited for romantic dates or evening formal events where its commanding presence can shine, though some enjoy it casually when applied sparingly.

About

Tabu opens with a burst of bright orange and neroli, quickly giving way to a rich, warm spicy heart of clove and coriander. Yellow florals like narcissus and ylang-ylang add a sweet, heady depth, while the dry down is a powerful embrace of civet, amber, and patchouli. It's an intoxicating blend, often hinting at root beer or Coca-Cola with a dusty, musky edge that's both challenging and alluring.
