Forbidden

Forbidden, a Sweet Fruity Floral

Victoria’s Secret Forbidden is a sweet fruity floral. Our version keeps that feel, opening with pear and red berries before a jasmine and gardenia heart settles over musk, vanilla, and sandalwood.

The Story Behind the Scent

Victoria’s Secret built Forbidden as a playful, alluring scent, all juicy fruit and soft flowers with a warm base. The idea was a sweet, flirty temptation.

That sweet playfulness is its appeal. The pear and berries keep it juicy, the jasmine and gardenia add a soft floral touch, and the musk and vanilla give it a warm finish. Our interpretation follows that same flirty path.
