Best Franck Boclet Sugar Dupe
Forbidden Sugar captures the gourmand sweetness and citrus brightness of the original Sugar quite well, with comparable caramel and vanilla notes in the heart. However, the clone tends to feel slightly thinner in projection and the base notes lack the depth and creaminess of the designer version, resulting in a more linear finish.
The clone has shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 6-7 hours on original) and softer sillage. The vanilla and tonka characteristics are present but less refined, with a slightly artificial sweetness that becomes more apparent in the dry down compared to Franck Boclet's Sugar.
