Discover Forbidden Vanilla, a fragrance with no rules, no restraint, and no apologies. A bold vanilla unlike anything familiar dark, rugged, and untamed. Inspired by the spirit of a gunslinger carrying bourbon at his side, this scent transforms sweetness into something powerful, smoky, and unforgettable.
More than a gourmand, Forbidden Vanilla is a wild western tale of contrasts: creamy sweetness meets gun smoke, spice, leathered woods, and deep resins. It is a fragrance of confidence, rebellion, and raw sophistication.
The fragrance opens with a striking blend of gunsmoke, pink pepper, nutmeg, and dried fruits, creating a spicy, smoky introduction with a burst of warmth and intensity.
At the heart, forbidden vanilla, bourbon, and black olive reveal a rich and unexpected character smooth, boozy, creamy, and slightly salty, creating a unique signature unlike traditional vanilla fragrances.
The fragrance settles into a powerful base of tobacco, deadwood, molasses, resins, and black vanilla, leaving a dark, velvety trail with incredible depth and presence.
