Taboo

Taboo smells like a fresh, clean, and slightly powdery luxurious soap. I felt like, only by reading the notes, that it’ll be a creamy and sweet floral fragrance. Instead I got a clean, musky and powdery soapy scent, which is soapy in a pleasant way, not it a bad way ! It is still a bit creamy because the White Florals and Yellow Floral notes are noticeable and blends well together. The Bright and fresh side of the perfume is highlighted by the Bergamot and the Florals. Then the powdery, clean and soapy aspect may come from the Pink Pepper, Cedar and Musk. It’s very pretty and elegant, all ages can wear this scent and it’s perfect to go to work, chill at home, to go to the gym, or going to family gathering. It’s effective, not faint but not too strong, moderate lasting power and sillage. But you’ll still get some scent trails while moving around, while working for example. You can wear this day and night, every season as well. For such a price, I am amazed by the overall quality, and the aesthetic behind the perfume. I am amazed by the work Naomi did, it’s affordable yet doesn’t smell like a cheap perfume, it fits perfectly to the vibe and aesthetic of her songs, and she made sure, us brocolis, weren’t deceived by her and her team. I feel like if you don’t really like floral scents, this one could interest you, and maybe confort you with that clean, musky and soapy aspect. I feel like it’s an 8,5/10 <3

I will skip the opening notes on this one as I am not able to make out exactly how they present except sweet and a tad synthetic. Once those fade away the perfume remains for a long time in a powdery, sweet talcum phase which is quite pleasant and finally after a good 9 hours (and even after a shower) I could still smell the base notes: the scent of air dried laundry. I did not expect such a longevity, all in all a great value. It's a kind of perfume that will suit better the cooler months for its rich and powdery feeling, can work for a daily wear too as the sillage is not intrusive, I can see alternating this between more complex/potent fragrances for an easy day when you still want to smell good
