Rebel Aromas Forbidden Fruits is an Eau de Parfum. Forbidden Fruits opens with Citrus, Pear, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Berries, Jasmine, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Rebel Aromas's Forbidden Fruits carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Rebel Aromas' inspired-by take on Jo Malone's English Pear & Freesia. Forbidden Fruits swaps the crisp, minimal pear-freesia simplicity for a sweeter, louder fruit cocktail, gaining sweetness but losing the original's clean, understated elegance.

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

Forbidden Fruits riffs on Jo Malone's English Pear & Freesia, one of the house's most beloved crisp fruity-florals, but takes the concept in a sweeter, more layered direction. The opening piles raspberry, pear and citrus together for an immediately juicy, candy-like burst that's far bolder than the original's restrained, almost watery pear note. Jasmine, peach and berry fill out the heart, adding a fruit-salad sweetness the designer scent deliberately avoids. The base of musk, vanilla and sandalwood gives it a soft, slightly gourmand finish rather than English Pear & Freesia's clean, quiet skin-scent close. The result is fun and easy to wear but reads as a different, sweeter fragrance in its own right rather than a faithful match - fans of the original's minimalist charm may find this version a bit much, while those wanting more sweetness will enjoy the trade-off.
