The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025 by Chris Collins, Forbidden Apple Croque Moi is a gourmand fragrance that captures the essence of indulgence and temptation. Created by perfumer Alexis Grugeon, this scent opens with the fresh, juicy notes of red apple and strawberry, balanced by the warmth of brown sugar and cinnamon. As it develops, the composition reveals deeper layers of vanilla absolute and white rum, creating a rich and inviting atmosphere that is both sweet and spicy.
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow its nuanced notes to unfold gradually. The initial fruity freshness fades quickly, so reapply every few hours for continuous indulgence throughout the day.
