The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019, Forbidden Berries by Victoria's Secret is a Floral Fruity fragrance that balances the freshness of aromatic and green notes with the warmth of woody and spicy accords. The composition opens with a burst of fruity vibrancy, where berries mingle with citrusy brightness and a hint of green leaves, creating an invigorating top note. As it settles, Forbidden Berries reveals a more complex heart of floral aromatics and subtle spices, leading to a base that is both earthy and slightly powdery, grounding the overall scent.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in two light sprays — the fruity top notes are bright but fleeting. The aromatic heart will emerge within an hour and last through the day without overpowering. It pairs well with warmer weather, where its fresh-spicy character shines.
