Forbidden 2
Fragrance notes
Character
Forbidden 2 presents a thick blend of rose and ylang-ylang that sits beside earthy patchouli and oakmoss. Cumin and cloves add a rough, savory edge to the floral heart, while lemon and bergamot provide a brief flash of brightness. Violet and iris lend a soft, powdery texture that mellows the sharper spices. Coconut adds a creamy sweetness that feels slightly out of place among the darker woods and leather. Labdanum and cedar create a heavy, resinous foundation that anchors the lighter petals.
The drydown is where the fragrance truly settles into its identity. Immortelle brings a maple-like sweetness that pairs with musk and leather to form a warm, slightly animalic skin scent. The spices linger here, turning from sharp to comforting against the mossy background. Imagine walking through a dense forest just after sunset, where the damp earth releases its scent and a nearby house has a fireplace burning with resinous logs. The air is cool, but the smoke and the sweetness from a kitchen mixing spices and flowers wrap around you like a heavy wool coat.
