♠️ Gummiblumen 🖤 🔫 Danke allen 😅 (by Seejungfrau)

Auch nach sieben Monaten Reifezeit ist FF nichts weiter als angenehm,flaches Blech [siehe Foto].😅 Etwas Grapefruitbitter zwischen ozonig gummierten Korianderaromen.Vorteil : die schlonzige Tonkabasis der restlichen Musk Collection ist hier nicht zu finden. Zumindest leuchtet diese Laterne auch im Dunkeln. 🏮 Vielen Dank allen 🧜‍♀️ (by Seejungfrau)

Resinous and musky flowers

I believe this is one of the most versatile works in the musk collection. It opens green, resinoid cannabis (the most realistic ever tried) like having a bud in your hand, to become at times more musky and sparkling. The evolution looks like a green cola with a slightly dark, light indolic flower background. Everything is truly balanced and slightly creamy given by the sandalwood at the end where the more musky animal part that was present at the opening magically emerges to my nose. I could place this as SM's brother but less animalic and with a similar sparkling structure

Exotic Flower

There are fragrances that smell beautiful… and then there are fragrances that tell stories, stir emotions, and awaken something primal within. Forbidden Flower by Areej Le Doré falls unapologetically into the latter category.nnFrom the moment the extrait touches skin, you're transported no, summoned into a shadowy, exotic garden where ancient blooms open under moonlight. The name says it all. This is a flower you were never meant to touch... but once you do, there’s no going back.nnThe Opening:nnIt unfurls like silk in slow motion intensely citrus, floral, but far from innocent. Its kind, but bold, carnal, and heady.nnThe Heart:nnAs it blooms, layers of spicy resins and skankiness but in a beautiful way, grounding the floral sensuality in something dark, resinous, and deeply animalic. There’s musk real, vintage feeling musk that doesn’t whisper but growls. Forbidden Flower seduces not with sweetness, but with mystery, tension, and contrast.nnThe Dry Down:nnHours later, what remains is haunting a whisper of earthy woods, smoky incense, and the ghost of the flower that started it all. It clings to the skin like a secret, unfolding slowly, refusing to be forgotten.nnPerformance:nnAs with all Areej le Doré creations, this extrait de parfum is potent. One spray is a statement. Longevity is monumental well over 12 hours and projection is intimate yet undeniable. This isn't a fragrance that shouts; it seizes.nnFinal Thoughts:nnForbidden Flower is not for the faint of heart. It’s for the dreamers, the collectors, the scent adventurers who crave art over mass appeal. If fragrance were poetry, this would be an ancient, forbidden verse written in gold ink on dark silk.nnA masterpiece from Russian Adam. This is not just perfume. It’s alchemy.

Skunky solvent oud

Forbidden Flower is not a flower and ‘forbidden’ is all wrong too because that is a word that promises something naughty but nice. This is not nice. Vibe: Industrial waste but make it grape-flavored. I have worn Forbidden Flower on the skin exactly one time and that was still once too many. I am smelling it now again from a paper strip in the hope that I can figure out – in a more rational manner – what exactly it is about this thing that makes it so traumatizing. I mean, technically, I know it must be the skunk. But why.

This is a deeply disturbing scent. In the opening notes, the aroma of fruity green leaves and milkweed mixes with the inorganic fumes of acetone, mouthwash, mercury, and what I can only describe as the liquid from a leaky battery. The fumes are so potent that I feel light-headed and more than a bit high. It smells both like the school supplies closet (solvents, paper, magic markers) and a long-abandoned farmstead with metal farm machinery rusting away between the weeds and ditches that a family of wild cats or indeed skunks have marked repeatedly as their personal pissing patch.

This mix of organic and inorganic stinks is deeply original but unpleasant, in a similar vein to M/Mink by Byredo (which Forbidden Flower does not resemble at all except in its metallic weirdness). It eventually dries down to a rubbery, latexy accord technically assembled by a doughy benzoin, patchouli, and cedar but the blackest myrrh in all but name. This sort of thing – vaguely similar to Narcotico (Meo Fusciuni), But Not Today (Filippo Sorcinelli) and Vierges et Toreros (Etat Libre d’Orange) in that they are all dark, bloody-metallic takes on the cedar/patchouli leather theme – is just stomach turning to me, even if at an intellectual level I admit that it is original and high concept.

Deception.

Its decepts you like nothing else. the hemp plant tempts you but you are not sure should you, but the hemp is decepting you with this amazingly fresh grapefruit. the hemp is covered top to bottom on this juicy grapefruit juice and you give in.

the first few hours are hemp and grapefruit juice and the skunk is there but its not the main player in there. its not even super animalic or fecal.

As it dryes the florals and base notes start to play the main role. the grapefruit has faded but the hemp is still in there. it has done 180 degrees turn and its totally different. im not biggest fan of citrusy stuff but this is something i truely would see ending up on my shelf at some point.

Forbidden Flower

I might not be familiar with the actual forbidden flower's smell. What i get at the opening is mashed white flowers' petals. Mostly jasmine. And then something rubbery comes to the surface. Gets a bit toilet-like, yet not in a bad manner. Almost sexual. Wow. Some turmeric/ginger vibe is floating in the background. What i love the most is this really natural feel. One of a kind.

Candy like lemon opening, has a slightly animalic tinge; vague chocolate in the background.
Musky base becomes more apparent in the drydown.

It stinks so nicely!
On one side you got grapefruit, white florals. The other, animals, cannabis. Underrated ALD

As citizen of the Netherlands I’m known with the scent of hemp. I can tell you this is a very natural green weed perfume. I’d recommend it!

A complex blend of notes, from the skunky top to the woody base, evokes the untamed wilderness.

It opens so weird. The grapefruit and skank don’t mix well. The drydown is so lovely though. The sandalwood and jasmine combine so well.

Grapefruit bitterness seeps through an Asian-inspired, insubstantial summer pallor.
Floral and milky, whisked together.
Airy and rubbery.
Skunk degraded.
