Forbidden Rose
Fragrance notes
Character
Forbidden Rose opens with green leaves and rosemary that feel crisp and herbal. The green tone is immediate and sets a fresh, aromatic start before the heart notes arrive. Jasmine, rose, violet and marigold bring a soft floral layer that is lifted by pink pepper and saffron. Cloves add a warm spicy edge while raspberry contributes a sweet, fruity touch that keeps the florals from feeling dry. The heart is busy but balanced, moving between powdery softness and fresh spice.
The base is dense and woody. Sandalwood, cedar, vetiver, oud and patchouli create a deep structure that feels earthy and balsamic. Leather, moss, labdanum, resins and amber add dark, warm textures, while musk and vanilla smooth the edges with sweetness. The overall impression is rich and heavy, leaning into amber and warm spicy accords with a clear musky finish. It suits cooler weather and evening wear for people who like bold, resinous woods.
The composition stays cohesive across its many notes, never letting one element dominate for long. It feels more suited to experienced wearers than to someone looking for a light daytime scent. The profile is woody, powdery, amber, sweet, warm spicy, aromatic, balsamic, earthy, musky and fresh spicy.
