What wearers say
“Aromatix's Forbidden Fruit smells like a fruitier take on BDK's Rouge Smoking. It features a similar Juicy Fruit gum start that is executed with a cherry accord in BDK's fragrance, but here it's upgraded to a fruitier, denser, and muskier smell. The addition of sandalwood and amber also added more depth to the scent. While the drydown is very similar, it is, in my opinion, a nicer vanilla. I've never tried Rouge Smoking Extrait, but compared with the original Forbidden Fruit, it is not a dupe but an upgrade. It very well could be an L'Absolu flanker of RS.”
“This is a lighter & less headache inducing clone of Sun-Gria by Lorenzo Pazzaglia. What it basically smells like is Hibiscus Tea/ Sorrel but imagine it as dense perfume. I have both & have settled for using this one in spring/summer and Sun-Gria in the winter & fall. This smells good, blind buy safe (to me) & perhaps a better buy than Sun-Gria if we're going price per ml. Overall, this is a 8 out of 10 for me.”
“It smells like gum in the openning and the dry down is so good that you want to eat yourself. Suitable for almost all occasions. Projection and longevity is banger.”
