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

**UPDATE** I found a bottle for under $40, and jumped! I'm so excited to have this one back in my collection! __________________________________________________________________ I'll keep this one short and sweet: the initial spray is full on gum. Think Juicy Fruit, or Bubble Yum--it's juicy, it's sweet. As this dries down, the sweet stays, but in more of a warm way? Not spicy, but warm--this is where the amber comes into the game. That might be where people are picking up that Christmas vibe. Let me say it for the people in the back: THIS IS NOT SPICY, IT STAYS SWEET. There's a familiar childhood scent I pick up, but I cannot place it for the life of me. I smell the salt from the margarita, but only in the way it lends to mellow out the syrupy sweet from the opening. 100% unisex, 100% year-round. This one is fun! Initially I didn't like it a whole lot and sold my bottle. Now? I wish I had it. It haunts me in the best way possible. It will be mine again, oh yes, it will be mine.

I don't know what kind of strong stuff they put in the juice for this one, but it lasts for days—at least on fabric. I loved the scent from the first sprays. I was looking for something new and not redundant, and this one delivered. It's not something you will smell everywhere. I guess some people might find it not masculine enough, but for me it's completely unisex, and it really depends on where and how you wear it. As for the performance, I'm not even exaggerating. I sprayed my usual 8 sprays on a hoodie, and the scent stayed on the fabric for over a week. The smell was still strong enough that I could catch a whiff from time to time without even bringing the fabric close to my nose. This scent probably even covered the smell of two other fragrances that I sprayed later on the same hoodie. At this point, I think only washing it will take it off.

I got this fragrance last week (on the 23rd) and tried it over the weekend. It opens with a sweet, fruity, and aromatic scent but not in a heavy or suffocating way. It’s more on the light, wearable side. To my nose, it’s a bit more unisex than Magnetiq, which leans slightly more masculine. Forbidden Fruit lasted around 7 hours on my skin (4-5 sprays), with noticeable projection for the first couple of hours. I think its performance might improve after some maturation. Since it’s a 30%+ extrait perfume, there’s also a chance I experienced a bit of nose blindness. Overall, it’s a pleasant, fruity fragrance that shines in the cooler months, perfect for winter, autumn, or cool spring evenings. It might be a bit too heavy for hot summer days, though.

So I bought this for myself originally, because it sounded DELICIOUS, and it was on sale, and I liked how it smelt when I wore it, but fortunately/unfortunately my husband sprayed it on himself, decided it smells better on him than on me, and has claimed it as his own and won't give it back. He LOVES it and wears it regularly, and I do have to admit it does smell better on him than on me. It's definitely my favourite warm weather scent he wears. I can pick it when freshly applied in the last hour and he walks past me, and he smells edible. Like a dark, sexy, fruit cocktail. This will last on him until the next day usually, but does fade down quite a bit about 12 hours in. This will definitely be a repurchase when it eventually runs out.

Nose Note #1049 That's a super fun scent. This has exceeded my expectations. Reminds me badly of some candy artificial flavouring or maybe the taste of some bubble gum. Really interesting. Too playful and sort of immature to wear daily for a man though. This will definately suit women more. Yet again, mind that this is extra fun. Not exactly juvenile, but careless. Very fruity with a light floral background, maybe even pink floral. So yes, this is for a younger age group. But a very interesting scent anyway. I don't have or had anything close to this in my collection. I'm not sure I'll be keeping it though. Does not fit my style at all. I'll give this to my wife and see how it goes. 7.5/10

I own about a 100 fragrances, including Lorenzo Pazzaglia Sun-Gria. I now also own Forbidden Fruits. This is a straight 10/10 without a f*cking doubt! This is 100% identical to the original product, saying this with confidence and with a bunch of testing and comparing. You get this red wine accord, a shit load of juicy blood organge, peach, caramel, apple and musks. This is a masterpiece and by far the best fragrance from French Avenue. I’m so amazed by this. Performance: - Longevity: 10-12 hours (with 1 spray!) - Projection is suuuper loud (again with one spray). This is a fruity, boozy, almost gourmand and teasing scent and it’s perfect for summer!

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.

I was really excited for this fragrance due to the mixed opinions and since its from the Aromatix line. This is really my type of fragrance. Its a fun, bright and a playful scent, opens up with this beatiful mix of different notes (syrupy fruits, candies and blood orange to balance out everything). and then every thing settles to this warm ambery candy scent. This is perfectly unisex and has a bit of uniqueness to it compared to the other fruity fragrances. For the not so trained nose it might smell straight up just like candy only.

This fragrance is better than I imagined. When I first sprayed it, I got a sharp blood orange that smoothed out quickly after about 5–10 minutes. After that, I started to notice a sweet fruitiness. I absolutely love this, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes really sweet, fruity scents. It has a bright, summery freshness, and I think the margarita note might be what gives it that fresh quality I enjoy. I rate it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.9/5).

I just unboxed this and got my nose on it I smelled it on skin and paper and yes I can say this is definitely a banger all year around... nice sweet fruity kinda vibe to it and I kinda smell a middle easterny oudy kinda incensey Smokey kinda vibe to it in the background somewhere?? Idk that’s to my nose but nevertheless banger fashoo Shoutout to Neeb keep doing your thing broskiii !!!

Definitely leans a little more feminine but it’s such a nice fruity bubblegum vibe. Just imagine a fruit stripe gum that doesn’t last 5 seconds. It’s a nice fun fragrance that you can just pop on when you wanna smell like a shower gel. I love almost all of the Aromatix line but this is prolly third place to Frostbite and Platine Blanc as no.1

bright fruity opening, like the smell of a tropical skittle. becomes a lovely fruity gummy dry down. projects well and lasts a 7 hours. The best Aromatix tested so far. A lovely fragrance that I enjoy smelling, but I can't think of any occasion I would actually wear it. Unisex but slightly feminine.

Absolutely delicious. The scent is smooth, rich, and incredibly seductive without being overpowering. It has a unique character that stands out from typical sweet fragrances, yet it’s perfectly wearable every day. Mysterious, addictive, and effortlessly attractive truly a hidden gem.

A fruity, woody, boozy and effervescent amber fragrance. Think a grown up version of skittles in cologne form. I genuinely like it. Sweet enough without being overly sweet imo with a warm amber drydown that is addictive. An easy favorite out of the 4 new releases.

From the 1st sniff I kinda got rotting orange peel not in bad way but it’s okeshh...after a few mins it’s changes to more into dried fruits like you get in authentic plum cakes which is soaked in sum kinda smell that’s fruit like a smell I get from this perfume
