What does Forbidden Apple Croque Moi smell like?

It opens with brown sugar, strawberry blossom and pink pepper alongside the red apple. In the heart, cinnamon, pomegranate, white rum and fenugreek turn it spicy and sweet. The base pairs Bourbon vanilla absolute with Haitian vetiver and fir balsam, settling into something creamy, powdery and lightly woody.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted. Voters point to leisure, evening and night-out wear, and some choose it for the office too. Being unisex, it doesn't lean masculine or feminine. Maison Margiela Coffee Break and Maison Tahité Floranilla have a close profile.
