Our verdict on Unforgivable: Favourite

Divisive and plagued by reformulations, Unforgivable is a faded classic. Its original magic is now a whisper, with current batches offering a fleeting, if pleasant, citrus-woody opening before vanishing entirely. Get a clone instead.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

The fresh and clean accords make it suitable for casual wear and the gym, though its weak performance means frequent reapplication. It's too subtle and fleeting for formal events, and just passable for a casual date, given its intimate projection.

About

Unforgivable opens with a vibrant, zesty explosion of various citruses, particularly mandarin and grapefruit, brightened by green basil. This energetic start quickly mellows into an aromatic heart of lavender and iris, adding a touch of clean sophistication. The base reveals a warm, slightly boozy embrace of rum, sandalwood, and amber, settling into a soft, woody sweetness.
