Forbidden Fruit

L'anima della festa tra agrumi e sillage ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟 Forbidden Fruit Aromatix di French Avenue è una fragranza che non accetta compromessi, nata dalla collaborazione tra Aromatix e French Avenue. Lanciata nel 2025, si presenta come una chiara e riuscita ispirazione a Sun-gria di Lorenzo Pazzaglia, riuscendo a catturare quell'atmosfera solare, densa e "alcolica" che ha reso celebre l'originale. L'Evoluzione Olfattiva L'apertura è un impatto immediato: l'Arancia Rossa e il Bergamotto dominano la scena, rendendo la fragranza frizzante e quasi "caramellata", una sensazione enfatizzata dal tocco speziato del Cardamomo. Nel cuore, la composizione esplode in tutta la sua dolcezza succosa. La Mela Rossa e la Pesca creano un cocktail fruttato reso unico dall'accordo Margarita. È proprio questa nota a dare il carattere effervescente e "da drink" che lo rende così simile all'ispirazione di Pazzaglia, con la Rosa che rifinisce il bouquet in sottofondo. Il drydown rivela una forza notevole. L'Assoluta di Vaniglia e l'Ambra creano una base dolce e persistente, mentre Benzonino, Sandalo e Legno di Cedro donano struttura legnosa, chiudendo con un soffio di Muschio. Dove e quando indossarlo Questa è una fragranza nata per brillare nel sociale. Per via della sua proiezione importante e della sua natura vivace, Forbidden Fruit è il compagno perfetto per feste all'aperto, eventi estivi e serate in discoteca. Ha la capacità di tagliare l'aria e farsi notare anche in ambienti affollati, sprigionando un'energia contagiosa. Performance Longevità: Eccellente, garantisce oltre 7-8 ore di presenza costante. Scia: Intensa e magnetica. È un profumo che riempie lo spazio, ideale per chi non vuole passare inosservato. Verdetto Finale Se cercate il vibe di Sun-gria in una versione accessibile ma dalle prestazioni estreme, Forbidden Fruit è la scelta definitiva. È un concentrato di gioia, cocktail fruttati e calore ambrato, ideale per chi vive la notte e ama le atmosfere conviviali. Voto 8.5/10

I swear some people just come on here just to troll and be dicks, thinking they know it all! If you don’t like it so be it, don’t think you know who it would suit and who it wouldn’t, that’s YOUR opinion! We all have likes and dislikes! If you like it, great, if you don’t, fair enough! Judge for yourself, not others! For the record, just to annoy the trolls, here’s my opinion.. This opens with a burst of blood orange and bergamot, touched by spicy cardamom, giving you that electric moment of temptation - the sort of tingle when you first win a game. It then flows into a heart of red apple, peach, margarita accord, and rose, juicy and playful yet tinged with sophistication - imagine laughter in a candlelit lounge in very late summer. The base wraps everything in vanilla absolute, benzoin resin, amber, sandalwood, cedarwood, and musk, giving a warm, velvety trail that lingers like the after-glow of a perfect night. Projection is noticeable for the first couple of hours, and while it later softens, I typically get around 6-8 hours of wear before it fades into a gentle presence on my skin. To me this is a scent that is unabashedly fruity, a bit naughty, yet grounded in rich woods and vanilla, it does lean more masculine than you think. The musk is quite prominent on the dry down which helps give it more masculinity with the scent. Be interesting to see how good this will become after full maceration. In my opinion can be worn near enough all year round, not so much the heat of summer due to its warm, dense and rich composition but it will definitely shine in spring, autumn, winter and cool nights; when its seductive sweetness feels inviting rather than overpowering. Much better than I thought it would be, Neeb knows what he’s doing!

So I got my hands on this today, and I can already say this new release is better and higher quality than his previous ones. Not that the others were bad they were great , but this one is simply better. This is a first wear, so I’ll definitely update my thoughts after more testing and after it has some time to mature. The fragrance is absolutely beautiful. If Platine Blanc is the fun, playful daily fragrance, then this one is more of a night-time, special-occasion scent. It’s truly unique. It opens with a beautiful note of apple and blood orange. I don’t get much of the cardamom at the start, maybe it will appear more in the dry-down but there is definitely since , giving it that dark, slightly spicy vibe, with woody nuance After a while, the floral notes start to shine while the apple settles down, and the vanilla adds a sweetness — but not an overly sugary sweetness like you might expect. Performance? So far, it’s good. I’m past the 6-hour mark; it’s no longer projecting strongly, but it’s still there, softly. Sillage? Right from the opening it pushes hard, but after 10–15 minutes it calms down. It’s not a beast-mode projector, as I mentioned earlier — it’s more of a classy, elegant style of fragrance. Overall, it’s a wonderful release, easily up there with Platine Blanc, and I feel I’ll enjoy it even more after letting it sit for a month. I’ll also re-test it when the weather gets cooler, because it’s really hot here at the moment. The batch is very recent (10/25), so some maturing will likely improve the performance and bring out certain notes even more. 8.75/10 — Great job, Neeb.

I'd say it's a very good unisex fall/winter fragrance. A valid depiction of Lorenzo Pazgalia sun-gria yet you have to wait a bit for the more prominent similarities to pop up. Definitely the most interesting Aromatix fragrance of the newest 4 releases of Magnetique, Forbidden Fruit, Tease me and Sun Kissed. Next runner-up would be Magnetique, but I might be biased on this one as I'm huge Amouage Reflection fan. Coming back to the Forbidden Fruit, it is super sweet, cloying even but under the right conditions perform really well and might make you the point of interest in the crowd, as expected of Sun Gria inspiration. For some unknown reason, there are a lot of votes under the "summer" section, just don't. People around you will thank you. This is the kind of smell you will love to wear, love to smell but don't get "too close" while smelling it as you might get this faint, overly ripe fruit note. It's not very prominent when you're smelling it from at least 10cm distance but whenever you get closed you might get a whiff of it. Other than this, it's a really good fragrance.

Oh my god. This smells so f***ing juicy and fresh. People say like juicy fruit gum, I say more like tropical fruit sorbet, it reminds me of an iced snack that I had as a child called "callipo shots". Very juicy, citrus + berry like vibe, but still somehow retains a degree of freshness/powderyness on the dry down that makes it wearable in spring/summer. It's a very versatile scent, which is surprising give just how sweet/juicy it is. Gives a fruit sorbet/mocktail vibe. There's is no boozyness to it hence why I say mocktail. Its a very syrupy, fruity drink. Smells 10/10, any time, any place, any season. It's so good. Not for people who don't like fruity sweetness. Very unisex but leaning very very slightly masc on the dry down in my opinion. Anyone who says its more feminine must be going off of the opening. Even then, to me, it doesn't give purely feminine vibes. It would work well on either gender. This gives pure edible/drinkable vibes. If you want your other half to want to to eat you up, this is one of those scents. Lushhhh💯 Great performance/projection. 10/10
