Fragrance World Prohibit Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Prohibit Intense opens with Bergamot and Pear, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Ambroxan. Fragrance World's Prohibit Intense carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag - a perfectly pleasant white floral that many will find familiar, even if it lacks a distinctive personality. It's a solid performer for sure, but don't expect it to rewrite the rulebook.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong performance and rich white floral nature, this scent leans more towards special occasions like dates and formal events rather than casual wear or sport. While it's substantial, its generally pleasant and familiar profile means it can still work in an office setting if applied lightly.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Prohibit Intense opens with a bright burst of pear and bergamot, a fresh fruity lift that quickly makes way for its opulent heart. Here, a rich bouquet of jasmine, orange blossom, and a prominent tuberose unfurls, creating a creamy, intensely floral core. As it settles, a smooth vanilla entwines with earthy vetiver and patchouli, grounded by a subtle warmth from ambroxan, adding depth to the sweet, expansive florals.
