Description of the composition

Composition of the fragrance: note pyramid

The Forbidden Affair pyramid begins with a playful start: black currant, lemon and red currant create a refreshing and fruity explosion, belonging to the citrus and fruity groups.

In the heart of the fragrance, pomegranate, raspberry and rose unfold, adding depth and floral tenderness from the floral notes, giving the composition a romantic and seductive character.

The base finishes with warm and cozy notes of violet, Virginia cedar and musk, which provide longevity and a mysterious trail, belonging to the woody and musky groups.

This harmonious combination creates a multifaceted and memorable scent that evolves on the skin throughout the day, starting with bright fruitiness, transitioning into the floral heart, and settling into a warm, enveloping base that perfectly highlights individuality.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

Blackcurrant jam with vanilla and rose petals, complemented by musk, sounds quite interesting. But, honestly, this fragrance lacks originality; it reminds me of many others 😕

The violet-berry water turned out to be quite fleeting. Perhaps I would have given it a higher rating, but I've had five fragrances from this brand, and they are all, essentially, similar. Sweet, light, with one pronounced fruity note. Often, there's a sense of childishness, as well as musk and soapy accents. You can play around with them, but only if they're inexpensive!!!
4/5

What a wonderful, rich, and sweet scent! On me, it revealed bright raspberry, blackcurrant, delicate rose, and a light musk. The longevity isn't super high, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying it
3/5

This scent just crushes your brain. A sweetness that leaves no chance, and such power that you want to run away. Blackcurrant and raspberry here seem to scream, and musk adds some suffocating heaviness. If you use too much, it's simply unbearable. Better not to risk it, or it'll quickly get tiresome
3/5

The berries looked very appetizing, but the raspberry, with its cloying sweetness, seemed to overshadow everything around, turning into something too sweet. Lemon couldn't fix it. Musk and rose only added to this sweetness. The bottle, by the way, looks good
