What does Forbidden Sugar smell like?

The top holds marshmallow, bergamot, honey, coconut and blackcurrant; the bergamot and blackcurrant keep the sweetness from turning heavy. In the heart, jasmine, pear, caramel, peach and vanilla add a fruity, powdery softness. The base of raspberry, white musk, violet and orange blossom settles it into a creamy finish.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though only a few people have voted, so those ratings are tentative. It reads comfortably on both men and women and suits anyone who likes sweet scents. Franck Boclet Sugar and House of Thêom Endless Love have a close profile.
