The irresistible oriental gourmand
Forbidden pairs a 35% extrait with a 5% dose of oud. The citrus opening of ATH bergamot and candied orange introduces an opulent heart of Bakewell cherry, Turkish delight, chocolate and rum, before a woody oriental base where patchouli, tonka bean, vanilla, sandalwood and oud leave a warm sillage. Longevity of 10 to 12 hours.
The olfactory journey
Opening: candied citrus
ATH bergamot brings a biting liveliness, extended by sweet, enveloping candied orange. A precise opening that prepares the gourmand heart.
Heart: gourmand opulence
Tangy Bakewell cherry, floral Turkish delight, velvety dark chocolate and warming rum compose a sweet oriental accord that is downright addictive.
Base: deep woody oud
Earthy patchouli, caramelized tonka bean, creamy vanilla, sandalwood and oud anchor the composition. Sillage 5/5, longevity of 10 to 12 hours.

Composed by Aaron Terence Hughes
Aaron Terence Hughes is a British perfumer and the founder of the independent house that bears his name, launched in April 2019. Born in Cornwall, he grew up on his family's flower farm. As a child, he spent his pocket money on essential oils and crushed flowers on his arm to see how their scent changed with the warmth of the skin. He first set out to become a dancer and won a scholarship to train at Rambert in London, before giving it up.
After a spell in hairdressing, he studied cosmetic science in London, then chemistry in Cardiff, and worked as a cosmetic product safety assessor. Disappointed by the perfumes he wore, he began composing his own. He says he works according to his mood and follows only his intuition. He presents his work on his YouTube channel.
