What does Forbidden Nectar smell like?

It opens with Italian bergamot and Italian mandarin orange adding a light freshness to the fruit. In the heart, white orchid, jasmine sambac absolute and gardenia come forward, and the flowers give it a creamy softness. At the base, musk, Texas cedar and peach nectar leave it woody, sweet and soft.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters place it mostly in leisure, daily and business wear, with evening and night out well behind. It is an easygoing daytime scent with no gender lean. Nishane Zenne and Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Intense have a close profile.
