What does Forbidden Love smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than announcing itself. The number of ratings is small, so treat this as a rough guide. It is classed as a women's fragrance.

The top holds orange, Egyptian white lotus absolute and lily absolute, with cypress leaf in the heart. The base brings oud, vanilla, tobacco absolute and benzoin, adding a sweet, spicy and creamy warmth; vodka, green tea and sake also sit in the base. A fruity touch softens the fresh floral opening. Its profile is close to Bortnikoff Sir Winston (Extrait de Parfum) and Armani Privé Vert Malachite.
