PowderyWhat does Fleur Défendue / Forbidden Flower smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and it leans towards daily and leisure wear. Most see it as feminine and modern.
The top is cool with green notes, green stems, wormwood flower and strawberry leaf. The heart of peony, violet and aniseed turns floral with a light spiciness. In the base, musk, almond and sour cherry sweeten it into a powdery, gourmand warmth. Absolument Parfumeur La Treizième Note Femme and Salvatore Ferragamo Signorina (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
