What does Forbidden Euphoria smell like?

It opens sweet and juicy, with peach blossom, mandarin orange and raspberry up front. In the heart, pink peony, jasmine and tiger orchid carry the floral side. The base of musk, cashmere wood and patchouli settles it into a woody, powdery, slightly oriental warmth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring; daily and leisure wear lead, with evening and business also getting votes. Most voters read it as feminine and modern. Jil Sander Everose and Kenzo Jeu d'Amour Félin have a close profile.
