What does Sweet Taboo smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen more for evenings and nights out. It leans slightly masculine in the votes, though it works as a unisex scent.
It opens with cardamom, clary sage and cinnamon, a spicy start. Toward the heart, geranium, cocoa and coffee take over and the scent deepens into something gourmand. The base of musk, tonka bean, Siam benzoin and vanilla dries down creamy and woody-sweet. Ministry of Gourmand Tiramisu Speculoos and Laboratorio Olfattivo Tonkade have a close profile.
