SyntheticWhat does Forbidden Berries smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn trailing behind. It is seen as suited to leisure, daily wear and the office, and reads as feminine and modern. Perfumes with a close profile include s.Oliver Spring Spirit Women and Christina Aguilera Inspire.
Pomegranate and raspberry open it with a fresh, fruity note. In the heart, rose and jasmine set a floral base while pineapple and mango add sweetness. Musk and sandalwood soften the base, leaving a sweet fruit character with a slightly synthetic edge.
