Skylar Forbidden Fruit is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026. Forbidden Fruit opens with Rice Powder, Raspberry, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Sugar Cane, Rose, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Amber, and Vanilla. Skylar's Forbidden Fruit carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a divisive dupe. Half the folks reckon it's a spot-on, smoother clone of Raspberry Ripple, the other half expected potent lychee and got lost in a floral haze. If you're after a fresh, sweet, and lightly gourmand vibe, you might just love it.

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.

Its fresh and lightly gourmand nature makes it an excellent choice for casual wear and dates, as it's pleasant without being overpowering. The florals and fruit give it enough lift for a casual office setting, while the sweetness makes it less ideal for formal occasions.

About

Forbidden Fruit opens with a burst of juicy raspberry and exotic litchi, softened by the delicate, starchy touch of rice powder. The heart unfolds into a sweet, slightly powdery composition of sugared violet and rose, underpinned by a distinct sugarcane sweetness. As it settles, a warm, mellow base of amber, vanilla, and soft woods emerges, keeping things light but lasting.
