I received this as the “Perfume of the Month”, from a subscription perfume club. I guess they had too much of this uninspiring and lifeless fragrance to give away. Not good at all I’m afraid in every way.

This is a white floral bomb. Apologies for the crudeness but I can’t explain it in any other way. This is pushing the boundaries of unisex fragrances. I’m a man and I love it but most men wouldn’t. This is a feminine fragrance. Some may say old school perfumery but there’s nothing wrong with that when done well. I managed to get hold of this because I enjoy collecting Andy Tauer fragrances but I believe it is no longer in production. It’s a floral experience perhaps to be kept to one’s self.

This is a great manly fragrance with an old school DNA made modern. It’s great for the summer and has great performance. Has similarities to a couple of Creed fragrances but without the price tag or poor performance. Great find

I do like Aaron’s fragrances. Forget about your opinions of the man himself. This is for fragrance reviews not perfumers personalities. Forbidden is a very nice smooth gourmand. Lovely for a winters evening out. It’s getting warmer here in the UK but still managed to wear it out a couple of times. Out of the 25 ATH perfumes I have, there are only 2 gourmands Luna and Forbidden. Both are very nice. Forbidden like most of ATH fragrances lasts and projects. It’s a good price too due to the high quality ingredients. I find that ATH is maturing with his fragrances and learning from the mistakes of the past.

I have all 4 of YVRA's fragrances but I have to say this is the nicest. Distance is a good name as it projects beautifully and lasts for a long time. It's smooth not in your face. It's a spicy woody fragrance with some bitter citrus top notes. I have tried it in both cold and warm weather and it really is a lovely scent. I don't like to compare fragrances but this is not completely unique. But for the performance and smoothness of it, it is well worth the money.
