Forbidden by Aaron Terence Hughes is a unisex EDP that launched in 2021. This composition balances the sweet warmth of chocolate and vanilla with the bright freshness of citrus notes like orange and bergamot, creating an intriguing tension between indulgence and clarity. The heart of cherry and rose adds unexpected layers of depth and complexity, while the base notes of patchouli, oud, sandalwood, tonka bean, and white musk ground the fragrance in a rich, woody warmth.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light layers; the chocolate and vanilla notes are rich and can easily overpower. The base notes bloom slowly over time, so give it at least an hour for full development. Best worn during cooler evenings or indoors where its warmth can be fully appreciated.
