Ballotino Forbidden Cherry — a fragrance with character
Ballotino Forbidden Cherry is a 2025 perfume extract created for those who love expressive fruity-gourmand compositions with noticeable woody depth.
The fragrance belongs to the Ballotino brand and is part of the Ballotino Gourmand Collection.
The name Forbidden Cherry immediately sets the mood: this is not simply a sweet cherry composition, but a more complex interpretation of a familiar accord.
Here, juicy fruitiness meets almond softness, sparkling spice and dark woody nuances, making the fragrance simultaneously appetizing, sensual and slightly mysterious.
Positioning and character
Ballotino Forbidden Cherry is presented as a unisex fragrance that can unfold beautifully on both women's and men's skin.
Its olfactory profile combines fruity, gourmand and woody facets, while spicy and white-floral nuances are also noticeable in the overall palette.
The concentration is that of a perfume, or extract, so the composition is designed to deliver a rich, intense scent.
The sillage is described as very strong: Forbidden Cherry can leave a dense, highly noticeable scented cloud around the wearer, especially in cool weather and enclosed spaces.
Specific recommendations for applying it to skin and clothing have not been provided for this release.
Given its high concentration and powerful sillage, it is sensible to start with a small amount and evaluate the development gradually, as the cherry-gourmand accord can quickly become the main accent of an overall look.
The perfumer and the style of the composition
The fragrance was created by Ballotino Leonardo Vittorio Lorenzo, the brand's founder and the author of the composition.
His approach is built on contrast: soft, sweet nuances sit alongside oud, rosewood and spicy pink pepper, keeping the fragrance from becoming mere fruity sweetness.
This character makes Forbidden Cherry especially appealing for evening outings, dates, intimate gatherings and occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality.
The fragrance may appeal to fans of cherry and almond accords, while also attracting those who seek greater density, darker nuances and a more pronounced presence in gourmand perfumery.

These fragrances offer an opportunity to explore a similar territory of fruity, sweet and expressive compositions, while Forbidden Cherry stands out through its combination of cherry, almond, oud, vanilla and tonka bean accords.
