What does Taboo smell like?

It opens with bergamot and pink pepper, then moves into a floral heart of jasmine, tuberose and ylang-ylang. Musk and cedarwood sit underneath, giving the scent a powdery, creamy softness on a woody base. The spicy accord keeps the sweetness in check.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. Votes spread across daily wear, the office, leisure and evenings out. It reads feminine, with modern and classic sides also getting votes.
