A Forbiddenly Sweet Character
Forbidden Nectar is a women's eau de parfum by Les Sœurs de Noé, launched in 2024.
It is an expressive sweet fruity-floral fragrance with a warm, sensual mood: the name "forbidden nectar" sounds like a promise of pleasure without unnecessary restraint.
The release joined the Sensual Collection, and its character naturally continues the collection's idea of revealing seductiveness through rich textures and a noticeable presence.
Within the DNA of the young Belgian house, founded in 2019, this perfume stands out for its gourmand depth, balanced by floral refinement.
How Forbidden Nectar Smells
The composition is built around juicy fruit facets: cherry and blackcurrant create an appetizing, slightly tart accent.
Their sweetness never feels flat: nutmeg adds a spicy shimmer, while rose and iris soften the fruity impulse with a velvety floral nuance.
Over time, the fragrance becomes warmer and more full-bodied.
Amber, cedar, musk, and hazelnut form a cozy woody-musky base with a creamy nutty quality; it allows Forbidden Nectar to retain its seductive character after its vivid opening.
Its olfactory profile is sweet fruity-floral, with amber, spicy, and woody facets.
Signature Style and Mood
Forbidden Nectar was created by Jérôme Epinette.
In this composition, the contrast of juicy fruits, delicate flowers, and a warm base creates the effect of a dressed-up, emotional perfume: noticeable, yet full of details for an attentive wearer.
Its very strong sillage makes the fragrance especially fitting for an evening, a date, a festive occasion, or those days when you want to leave a beautiful impression behind.
It unfolds best in the coolness of autumn and winter, as well as on spring evenings; in hot weather, its richness should be considered especially carefully.
Application and a Similar Mood
The manufacturer does not specify an exact dosage for skin and clothing, but given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with one spray on the skin and assess how it develops.
It is also best to apply the fragrance sparingly to clothing, from a distance and after testing the fabric on an inconspicuous area: the fruity-amber base may linger for a long time.
Forbidden Nectar will appeal to those seeking a women's fragrance with cherry-berry sweetness, a floral heart, and a warm woody-musky trail.
For a comparison in mood, try Richard Dirty Mango: both fragrances explore the bright gourmand side of the fruit theme, yet unfold in their own ways.
