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 Lace is a soft, gentle embrace, opening with a whisper of sweet fruits that quickly mingle with a subtle floral heart. The composition then settles into a warm, inviting base of creamy amber and smooth woods, creating a comforting aura without ever becoming overwhelming. It's an intimate, close-wearing fragrance that leaves a delicate, trace of sweetness and warmth.
