Forbidden Pink

First time I tested forbidden pink, it smelled somehow "dirty" and dusty. Today i gave a second change in a different store, and suddenly I found it much more pleasing, and actually will consider adding it to my collection. Surprisingly good longevity, I tested it one spray at 10am, and now at 3pm still going strong! My skin is quite dry and doesn't hold fragrances well, so considering that, Im impressed. For me it does remind "velvet shadow" in dry down, and in the opening it reminded me a bit of "give me a sign". Nice, sweet and comforting scent.

This is Zara’s Barbie rebottled. Sprayed them on both my wrists, it is the exact same perfume, exact same juice in another bottle. Edit - after a few hours, it’s still Barbie, but there’s a slight sugary vanilla undertone in Forbidden pink. It’s only noticeable if I hold my nose up to my wrist, you definitely wouldn’t catch wafts of it. It’s not noticeable enough to differentiate or call it a whole different perfume. Still, Zara didn’t bother to change the descriptions of the two perfumes. They’ve copied and pasted the description from Barbie.

@princessy Thank you for your review - because of it I ordered a bottle of this. I just received it today and can confirm that it is Rose Marshmallow Candy rebottled!! I had been longing to get a backup of RMC but it was so hard to find. I tested these side by side and they are the same!! Beautiful smell, in the same family as LDBS but a bit more fresh due to the orange note. It's addictive and I am very grateful I have found this one - this is not a bottle I would've tested otherwise :) Thank you!!

Literally the Zara x Barbie but waaay better IMO ! They are very similar but definitely not the same : Forbidden Pink: - smoother and truly gourmand due to the amped vanilla - perfect for all year around wear and rich enough for special events Zara x Barbie : - fresher orange blossom and more citrus forward - can be a little bit sharp especially in the opening - better for hot days Do not miss on this Zara Gem, if you are a gourmand and orange blossom lover !

This scent reminds me of my childhood, opening a brand new baby doll, which always seemed to have this nice powdery scent. It's a very nostalgic fragrance that just screams 90s to me for some reason. Doesn't last very long but for the price it's very good.
