The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Russian Adam's Forbidden Flower, launched by Areej Le Doré in 2024, is a composition that defies convention with its bold blend of cannabis and white florals. The opening notes of grapefruit and lime introduce a crisp freshness that cuts through the sweetness of jasmine sambac and night-blooming jasmine. As it evolves, warm spices like turmeric and coriander add depth, while vanilla and benzoin provide a comforting warmth. This fragrance is an intriguing mix of traditional and unexpected elements, capturing both the charm and the mystery that its name suggests.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance sparingly — the cannabis note can be potent. It blooms best close to the skin and is ideal for evening wear when its warm spicy and woody notes will linger subtly throughout the night.
