Frequently Asked Questions

How does this fragrance perform in terms of longevity?+

This fragrance is recognized for its impressive staying power. Unlike many citrus or spice-forward scents that fade quickly, the heavy base of oud, leather, and amber ensures it lingers on skin and clothing for many hours, surviving even long evenings out.

Is this suitable for the office or daily wear?+

While it can be worn during the day, most users find it a bit too intense for a standard business environment. Its smoky, spicy, and woody profile is better suited for leisure, evening events, or cold-weather outdoor activities where its projection can be fully appreciated.

Does the lime note last throughout the wear?+

No, the lime is primarily a top note designed to provide a bright opening. It eventually gives way to the heart of cedarwood and oud, though the spicy pink pepper helps maintain a sense of sharpness before the scent transitions into its warm, sweet, and leathery base.

Is this considered a masculine or feminine scent?+

It is marketed as a unisex fragrance. The tobacco, leather, and oud lean traditionally masculine, while the vanilla, amber, and pink pepper provide a sweetness and spice that many women find very wearable.

Which seasons are best for wearing Forbidden Words?+

This fragrance performs best in the fall and winter. The "thick" accords of amber, leather, and smoke can feel heavy in the high heat of summer, but they bloom beautifully in crisp, cool air.

How prominent is the tobacco note?+

The tobacco is noticeable immediately in the opening, providing a dry, aromatic quality. Rather than being a "wet" or honeyed tobacco, it feels more like dried leaves, working in tandem with the cedarwood and pink pepper to create a sophisticated, smoky atmosphere.
