Desperate Housewives Forbidden Fruit

I wear this off and on (see my review below), especially during the summer. Today I was at a thrift store and there were several bottles of perfume for sale, one being, Sun Moon & Stars by K.Lagerfeld, which I have also previously owned. I was taken aback by the vintage bottle & smell that was coming from the dark blue bottle. It smelled so similar to DHFF! I think it may be a different formulation than I owned (of the SMS), because I never noticed the similarity before. It may be due to the similar notes making up both, including the sweet, powdery woody notes. They are both beautiful, and to me are perfect perfumes to wear in June. Unfortunately, there was only what appeared to be a few drops left in this bottle of SMS & the cap was broken, so I'll be trying to track down a vintage bottle of Sun Moon Stars, & always keep 1-2 bottles of DH in my stash. DH is very long lasting, sweet & has amazing full bodied silage. Give them both a shot...you may find your new summer muse in a fragrance. :)

I had read information/other reviews about this perfume and thought it sounded intriguing w/ notes that would be appealing to my taste in scent. I looked for it and found box after box on clearance at the store. I tried the sample and it is SO YUMMY! I don't usually go for super duper fruity scents, but this is not like candy fruits or a smoothie scent! Picture perfectly ripe green apples and some berries that are heady and rich...more like a delicious fruity Pinot gris wine. I bought two boxes and have brought decants to Mexico with me to use on our vacation's the past two summers. It has been the perfect scent to use and later has called up wonderful olfactory memories of our time as a family. Give it a try...it is different than any thing I have used so I can't really compare it to any other perfumes I am familiar with. I own Charlie Red & I guess I can smell that they are in the same genre (?) but CR has pineapple & tuberose which makes them part ways. Cheers!

This smells good in summer but is a little off. So I tried it now in winter and it is in it's full glory! This is a perfume! Like those of the 90's! It is loud and live! I love it, it's thick, it lingers, it's a puff cloud of red apple spicy with a shimmer of peach rounding it out. It is sexy and old lady and I love it! Too bad the new age likes the scents that don't develop or have any oomph to them. This is a late 80s early 90s type creation. And it lasts and lt sings a full song as it develops for hours! This is a real perfume! If I had to match this to the correct character on the show, I'd definitely say this is an "Edie" scent. I know someone in the comments below said "Brie" but only if this smelled the way it smells in the summer, cuz it's not in full bloom in the summer. It reveals it's true nature in the winter time and it is a scandal and is so Edie!

This really is delicious. A floral fruity for women of any age. I'm in my forties and I feel quite comfortable wearing this. A few years have passed since Desperate Housewives aired on our screens and I'll be honest, I was a regular watcher. I happened upon a lonely, battered box of Forbidden Fruit in a chemist and as I love a blind buy bargain, into my basket it went. I've worn it often, although not on the hottest summer days as it could be a bit too much, and it will take me through into autumn. It is similar to Charlie Red, however Forbidden Fruit features lily instead of tuberose. The apple is quite prominent and reminds me of the light freshness of Tommy Girl. I smell peach and sandalwood with a touch of vanilla, anchoring the lighter notes and giving a warm, fuzzy feeling. Overall a nice quality fragrance (just ignore the name if you're not a fan).

Oh, my! Gorgeous sister of Kenzo Flower, i swear it smells nearly identical! Creamy floral, not really fruity, unless we count the first 5 minutes. Very warm and most suitable for winter and cool evenings, it may be a bit too much for summer hot days :-) For such an inexpensive perfume it really does smell lovely - the staying power is slightly better than Kenzo Flower and the sillage is gentle but noticeable! If Ghost Serenity and Kenzo Flower rocks your boat, you have to try DH! For that low price you would be crazy not to :-) The bottle is very simple, practical and does look nice on my dresser table. Aside Shania by Stetson, it is one of my most wonderful ridiculously cheap buys! Definitely worth trying! P.S. It lasts forever on my clothes :-)
