Taboo Currara, launched in 2008, is positioned as a masculine fragrance, rooted in the spicy and citrus families. It was created by perfumer Emilie Bouge. Concentration — eau de toilette: exactly what it needs to be.
Made in Poland, backed by a long and proud tradition. Taboo Currara — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Taboo is shaped as an expressive line of development, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The signature of Currara is clear from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
As soon as the fragrance opens you catch invigorating sunny top notes: Bergamot, Black Pepper and Mandarin. Exactly these 3 notes build a sensation of cool purity that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
When the opening settles you meet Cardamom carrying a cinnamon-nutmeg direction. At drydown level the composition is fixed through Resins, Sandalwood and Vetiver, shaping a warm vetiver trail.
The gender direction is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Citrus, Spicy, Balsamic and Wood. Within olfactory families the scent maps to Citrus and Spicy.
Taken together Taboo holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best judged in wear.
