Heartas listed

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:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent projection, likened to a 'candle in the office' by one reviewer, makes it too assertive for formal or professional settings. However, its sweet and playful nature makes it a fantastic fit for casual outings and dates, where its presence can truly shine.

About

Forbidden Cherry bursts open with a juicy, syrupy black cherry and a generous dusting of sugar cane, creating an undeniable sweetness from the very first spray. As it settles, the sweetness mellows slightly, allowing a subtle, creamy orchid note to bloom, adding a touch of floral sophistication without overpowering the star of the show. The overall effect is a warm, enveloping cherry confection.
