Forbidden is not for the faint-hearted. It opens in smoke and shadow, the frankincense rising like a curl of incense in a dim room, matched by the dry richness of tobacco leaf. From the very first moment, this scent moves with intent.
The heart reveals warmth and tension. Amber glows beneath worn leather and the golden bite of saffron. Resinous, spicy, slightly animalic—it doesn’t soften, it smolders.
As it settles, Forbidden deepens into oud and musk. Earthy, primal, and raw. The finish is dense and lingering, like something ancient whispered through time.
When to Wear Forbidden
Best suited for cool nights, private evenings, or moments that ask for depth. Forbidden thrives in stillness and shadow—it pairs with low light, slow jazz, and an unapologetic presence.
How to Macerate Your Perfume
Maceration is the process that allows a fragrance to reach its full potential. When you receive a new bottle, just do 10-12 sprays and store it in a cool, dark place for 2 to 4 weeks. This resting period helps the ingredients blend and mature, smoothing out the scent and enhancing performance. Over time, you'll notice deeper character, stronger projection, and better longevity.
Safe From Extreme Temperatures
To preserve the quality and longevity of your perfume, keep it away from heat, direct sunlight, and freezing conditions. A consistent, climate-controlled environment—such as a bedroom or drawer ensures that your fragrance remains true to its original composition for years to come.
