Description
Forbidden Euphoria is presented as a fragrance for younger audience and dedicated to independent women. The composition is sexy, modern and livelier than the classic, based on the famous orchid tiger note, which is now sweetened by fruity juices.
The top notes will tempt us with iced raspberry, tangerine juices and delicate peach blossom of fruity flowery essences. The heart reveals amazing floral aromas of Tiger orchids, pink peony and jasmine flowers, while the base beats to the cadence of sensual musk, cashmere wood and patchouli.
The fragrance is available in the same form of the bottle as the first Euphoria, on whose transparent glass the iridescent shades of dark purple blend with the lighter shades from the edges. Forbidden Euphoria will be available as 50 and 100ml EDP, from September 2011.

I miss this scent. I wish I could find a readily available dupe. I just used up the last few pumps because it’s a cooler Spring day here. Definitely a cool weather fragrance.
sma213JeomiWogkig – :
It is a pretty scent but very cloying in my opinion.
I loved it at first smell though.

Grabadora – :
I love the original Euphoria but for me it’s too heavy for daytime wear. This flanker is perfect. It’s as if a Juicy Couture frag and Flowerbomb had a lovechild… sweet, creamy red berries in the topnotes (no tartness from the raspberry, more like a sugary pastry). Definite patchouli quick to follow. I don’t know how this would be in hot weather but right now it’s crisp, breezy, and sunny and it works. It’s not an airy perfume by any means, but is playful and ultra-feminine. Good sillage.
Butslusasauck – :
Tried this on (blindly) from a tester this morning; big mistake for me. I cannot tolerate patchouli and this is, on my skin, a patchouli bomb mixed with raspberry that dries down to patchouli-infused cashmere. Not great, at least on me. Glad I didn’t purchase the full bottle.
ereulov – :
I have the original which I liked but I was not blown away. You would think I would know better than to get a flanker. Nope, blind bought it. Big mistake. Don’t get me wrong, its not bad, its a fruitier take on the original and people comparing it to VS Dark Orchid got it right-ironically I also have Dark Orchid which while I liked, I didn’t wear often enough. So…fruit, patchouli, few exotic florals and more patchouli. Not my bag but nice enough. There is something about this scent that just didn’t blow me away
Buxxter – :
It smells like burnt sugar with a hint of citrus in the opening. It’s thick, sweet and dry like you are inside a freshly spun cotten candy. Mostly linear, it starts off with moderate to heavy sillage but trails off after a few hours.
Dima9 – :
Forbidden Euphoria is addictive, and I do mean that. At first spray, I knew I would need a full bottle. The raspberry sweetness with orchid and some tartness is what will get you. The musk shows itself very early after spraying. As others have stated, it is not a complex scent at all. Yet, it’s quite pleasing. I believe I read some mention Halle Berry’s Pure Orchid. I agree that if you like the one, you’ll probably like this as well, especially if you like musk.
FE is what I’ve been spraying right before bed every night. I normally sprayed Knowing or Shalimar, cologne strength. Lately, this is all that will do, although it may go on top of Knowing, Youth Dew, Obsession, Aphrodisia, or whatever else, as the mood strikes.
I’ve gone through a 3.4 ounce bottle rather quickly, and I believe this is a discontinued fragrance! That means I better find a new addiction.
Something to note is that, at first, I only used a couple sprays, and now I douse myself. The fruity portion lasts only a short while, but the musk goes on and on. I spray again before I’ve fallen asleep. So, I end up very musky. And this musk can get heavy through the nose when over applied, trust me. I also think my nose has grown less sensitive to FE more so than anything else I’ve often used.
The price for this is very low right now. Because of the longevity, I wouldn’t have bought this at $80 a bottle! That said, I’d prefer nobody buy it. I will need several more bottles to ween myself from Forbidden Euphoria! 🙂
slavov-vovka – :
After the original Euphoria and Euphoria Liquid Gold, this is another frag in the Euphoria collection that I own and adore. It really doesn’t remind me of any of the other Euphorias in my perfume chest, but it is as bit as lovely and stunning. It is heavenly fruity, without being overbearing or overly sugary. The floral touch is light enough for me to truly enjoy it (as I am really not much of a flowery woman with the only exception of jasmine and violets, which I really love.) A great scent.
IlnazKzN – :
I thought this had been discontinued?
serg_smite – :
My husband say “This perfume smells like you should be wearing skirt.” It smells sexy and very feminine for me. I detect the raspberry and patchouli the most.
balts89 – :
I find the original Euphoria too heavy, but this is just perfect. The prominent raspberry makes it more girly and light, but it still has the beautiful Euphoria-DNA with its musky undertone. A stunning fragrance that smells classy, like an expensive hair salon or spa. Projects well and last very long on skin. I like the bottle way more than the original Euphoria as well – cuter, softer, not so hardcore, just as with the juice itself.
ALMAT – :
Beutiful, lighter and younger sister of Euphoria. More wearable for day version. Love it.
Miniature 4.5. ml EDP
ruchko_oleg – :
I use this as the daytime version of the original Euphoria (one of my faves)…this is more fruity, less woody, but every bit as seductive! The two don’t really smell “aike”, but you can tell they’re related. Not sisters, more like first cousins. Love it!
XoJIoDok – :
Forbidden Euphoria has a pleasant raspberry-vanilla effect coupled with the distinct citrus-patchouli found in Angel. I swear this type of patchouli is the reason people think they hate patchouli. Something about the way the sourness of the citrus binds to the patchouli makes a very distinct impression and it is not for everyone. If only I could somehow convince people this is not how true patchouli smells I would.
All that said, I enjoy Forbidden Euphoria. Angel Lite + Raspberry ice cream. Yes, please.
SypeSletSek – :
I got a sample and loved it …the first night I wore it. I couldn’t stop smelling my fruit juicy sweet wrist and I planned to purchase a full bottle… Fortunately, I forgot, because for the past month, this fragrance nearly makes me gag. I’m so disappointed. All I can smell is sickening Christmas trees!!! A cheap & offensive holiday candle smell. The sweet fruit juice is gone. I wish I knew cause for such a dramatic change in my perception of this scent.
Mougly – :
Obsessed.
I haven’t been this excited about a fragrance in my collection in a while! I received this in a giveaway (thanks Shenandoah!) and I haven’t stopped wearing it since.
It is juicy and sweet but never too youthful. It’s quite sexy!
The real star here is the ripe raspberry, (very true – not synthetic) with deep orchid and sexy musk as the background dancers. Its not a complicated fragrance, but it it ain’t no simpleton either. It has a good deal of depth.
I have never had a signature scent, but i have been wearing this so often this might as well be mine <3
***
sillage: moderate
longevity: long lasting
Garpsooruse – :
This one will get you attacked with kisses as soon as you walk through the door!!!
My fiancé just LOVED this one!
At first spray it’s sweet, but not extemtly. It has a lovely scent of berries and smells very clean.
I would wear this in spring and maybe even summer.
sereja.pt – :
nothing mysterious/forbidden. euphoria pop indeed. hyper teenage girls
original: creamy and dark
Endless: floral and clean
forbidden: bright and fruity
alenachkasd – :
It’s not great and it’s not horrible. It’s alright. It’s not a perfume that I will buy again though.
fokClahwawl – :
Words cannot describe how much I love this!
иван евтухов – :
This is a beautiful raspberry scent, so charming and sweet. Sparkly, fizzy….girly, pink pinkish fucshia cotton candy scent. Did I say girly? I love it. But I can’t wear it alone, I need some depth that this obviously lacks. I am layering Euphoria Forbidden upon a drop of Ciara. Now..THAT is sexy…and maybe forbidden
ngq538Unlogrere – :
Sweet, fresh & forgettable.
To me its a fizzy floral without the depth i was hoping for. The depth the original is all about.
Nothing like the original and unfortunetly nothing forbidden.
magysha – :
This does not smell like the original Euphoria on me at all. It smells more like a grown up version of Viva La Juicy. I do like it very much. But I think I will always prefer the original since it was first introduced in my life when I was a young! Nevertheless, I adore it!
senka20 – :
I think this smells like Ellen Tracy’s Love Notes, but not quite as harsh. I’m enjoying this, it’s a like for me….
9050348262 – :
I simply adore the original Euphoria and thought a sweeter more timid version would be nice for daytime wear. Unfortunately, Forbidden Euphoria is not at all what I had expected. I do love it, but not what I was after. Maybe I will have to look into the Euphoria EDT.
With Forbidden Euphoria I am reminded of Britney Spears’ Midnight Fantasy but thankfully it lacks the odd nauseating dusty note in Midnight that I cannot stand. Not sure why this is called Forbidden, a more apt name would be Euphoria Pop, it is Euphoria with the sex and mystery removed (boo) and various indiscernible fruits and florals thrown in (hence Pop!).
I hated Euphoria at first, and it slowly grew on me, I now cannot live without it in my collection. I am hoping this flanker has a similar story. Will update if things change.
The bottle is oh so pretty, like potion bottle fairytale prop.
Rarnoibia – :
Smells amazing but doesn’t last very long
bigsergo76 – :
Okay so I just got this in the mail as a tester and I really like it. It reminds me of the original Euphoria but quite less sharp and more fruity! I really like it. You definitely get the musk, but less so than the original. I think this would be good for night time, but I will probably wear it whenever.
This was a semi blind buy for me, all I knew was I liked the original, and this one had pink on the bottle so I assumed that it would be like the original but more PINK smelling, like fruity, and that’s exactly what it was. So yeah, I’m glad it worked out. Try it if you like Euphoria and fruity scents.
павлик007 – :
On my skin, Forbidden Euphoria is not even the slightest bit sweet. It smells quite bitter; not pleasant at all. As time goes by, it gets even worse.
plutveirtiere – :
I had this a few years ago and really liked it – used up the whole bottle! Nice, fruity and just yum! I really enjoyed it when I wore it but now I think I might like to try the original….I just love perfume, CK does it again!
alenapikharyova – :
Sweet raspberry, powdery peach blossom, and vanilla orchid with the gentle musk of cashmere wood and perfectly blended patchouli. I like that this is less woody than the original euphoria and I think the peach blossom makes this so feminine. I got this in a swap and I had not tested it prior to swapping, so I’m really glad that I like it so much. The magenta color of the bottle is stunning!
Chest – :
I really like this. It definitely doesn’t smell anything like the original which, I do also like. I find it sweet, powdery, musky & slightly woody. It’s not something that I personally have smelt everyone wearing. I think the patchouli & gentle muskiness make this fragrance soft and sensual. On me the fruit notes are the sweetener but they just blend letting the patchouli take the lead.
kurk – :
A fruity sweet floral…
Not surprisingly, with notes such as raspberry, orchid, mandarin orange, white musk, patchouli, peony & jasmine… this is the definition of a fruity floral.
Is that a bad thing? No. Not if you are looking for one. I have not tried the original Euphoria but this one doesn’t seem to have what it takes to be a big hit, or even memorable. I agree that it smells nice and you would certainly “fit in” with the current trends of fruity floral fragrances for women. But I can’t help feeling like I expected more from this one. It’s an okay fragrance, just nothing really special or ground-breaking.
tyliankin – :
All I can smell is tacky fake fruityness. Literally everyone wears this crap. Disappointing, CK. Body spray fruity like nonsense, not impressed.
shv874intitytek – :
I’m not impressed with this blind buy. Usually when reviews say “this is too sweet!” then I know it’s perfect for me, who loves sweeties and gourmands. I hated Euphoria, it was so masculine and patchouli and just no…. (and lasted forever on the mitten I sprayed it on!)
But this was mostly a free blind buy because I had ebay bucks built up. And I love the fruit notes listed, and I like spicy sweets.
But this is generic and I’m unimpressed. It’s just a basic musky fruity musk bore. Even reminds me of cat pee in a way.
Lasting power/sillage is meh. Which is fine by me.
It is wearable, I just have so many perfumes, and this isn’t anything special. 🙁 It’s not a total loss.
22Диайсер22 – :
Not sure why this one is called “Forbidden” Euphoria.
It’s a similar scent, but MUCH more fruity, and much less deep, and almost no patchouli or other basenotes.
If anything, it should be called “Euphoria-Lite”.
Komissar – :
The original Euphoria has been my signature scent for years! For a little touch of change, I wore Euphoria blossom for some months in 2014 and it was just a lighter fresher take on the original.
But I stumbled onto Forbidden Euphoria last week cuz the perfumery had run out of my signature Euphoria and I was blown away!
It is beautifull!!! More woody, more Musky and a splash of patchouli. Well, I don’t feel its made for a younger audience. From 25 to 45 is good to go!!!! Theres a kind of lightness, happiness and confidence that comes to me whenever I wear Euphoria, Forbidden Euphoria no less. I love it. Totally worth every penny.
Perfect for a gift cuz you cant go wrong with it. It is a people pleaser not an offensive syrupy sweet junk that is everywhere these days.
I think Euphoria Blossom is for a younger audience.
dafnaplus – :
To me this perfume is like newly opened peach blossoms. When I recently smelled a flowering peach tree this spring, the smell, freshness and sweetness of that flower was exactly this perfume. There are very few perfumes that make me want to repeatedly smell where I sprayed them, but this is definitely one of them. I really love this perfume. It’s sweet, but not overly so, and a little sexy. I can detect the fresh iced raspberry and tangerine hint from the description, but mostly for me it is fresh spring blooming orchard flowers. Think spring, when a warm breeze blows through the sweet flowering fruit trees. So lovely.
kapsulest – :
Upon my initial spray (on paper) in a store, I thought I preferred this to the original. Today, I actually sprayed each one on a hand with Forbidden and the other the original. What a difference! I love the original. But Forbidden? Oh my, but it is all orange. At first there was a bit of nostalgia, but only because it reminded me of a scratch and sniff book from my childhood. Then it moved on to a room freshener scent. I can’t believe this is from Calvin Klein. As the dry down developed (I’m being generous with that phrase) I could barely make out the original Euphoria and then only with real concentration. If you love an orange scent, then perhaps you will appreciate this. But I would think you could save yourself a lot of money and find it the same with a Bath and Body a Works product or some generic drugstore scent. I simply don’t smell any depth or complexity to this. What a shame.
Crazy_BABA – :
Oh, no…
This is unbearably sweet for me. And on top of that – mandarin to only make it worse. It makes me sick – and I mean it literally, my stomach starts feeling weird.
Those Euphorias are so strange. I have tested four of the line. Two of them are among my most loved perfumes (the original and Endless Euphoria) and for the other two (this one and Golden Euphoria) I have actual physical intolerance. Sad because the bottles are lovely; would have made a nice collection.
ulw493Negeltzex – :
first idea you will get when you smell this perfume is sensual . warm musky sexy smell is what you get . the original euphoria for me is so strong and not as good as the forbidden euphoria . was a blind buy and didn’t regret it at all
rich1555 – :
has zero longevity on me..i have a big size if anyone wants to swap..it’s amazing to see here reading the commentaries..how each scent has a different effect and longevity on our different chemistries..
Murka – :
Euphoria with the fruit up to 11 and the wood turned way down low. I have to say, I really don’t love it as much as I love the original, it’s a little too sugary for me. I’ll try it again and give a more complete opinion
jkarter – :
I agree the original Euphoria is bold, rich and I find it too much, it kind if smells more and more like an eighties oriental to me, rather one dimensional but quite distinctive
Forbidden Euphoria is lighter, sweeter. a soft floral oriental , warm, enveloping, it isnt for any age in particular!? It has that feminine timeless quality.. Enjoyable …
Lovely…the best Euphoria for me…
makc_kok – :
at first, i don’t know how differents amongs Euphoria Blossom, Forbidden Euphoria nd the first one Euphoria, their so similar, but finally i can figured that out now,
Euphoria > is more sweet woodsy and little spicy in it,
Forbidden Euphoria > is more less floral but fruity musky with a lot of sweet almost like a candy that mixed with raspberry orchid and musk,
Euphoria Blossom > is more fresh with a little woodsy and less sweet and more floral with a hint of citrusy in it, so sheer,
and i go with Euphoria blossom cause its have what i need, not too sweet and little woodsy with a fresh touch that not over too strong, just love with this one, 9/10
and so curiuos next, to try Endless Euphoria, i think i’ll gonna love that one too, and will do a review if i got it someday, xo
pabi – :
So I have both the Euphoria and the Forbidden Euphoria. I’m a fan of both but I do like Forbidden Euphoria a little better. The reason being it’s a lighter version of Euphoria. I can wear Forbidden Euphoria more often than the original. It’s soft and sweet but warm and not too girly. I think it’s suitable for early and late twenties and early thirties. It’s very feminine, but less mature than Euphoria. This is something I can wear during the day, whereas I can’t wear Euphoria during the day because it’s too heavy and sexy for my daytime wear. Lol.
Forbidden Euphoria is the scent I like to use on cold windy days in the fall and winter. Although I usually wear white floral and citrus scents they’re not really ideal on cold windy days. Anyways, Forbidden Euphoria is gorgeous and is just sweet and warm enough. I feel very pretty when I wear it.

I work for a department store selling perfumes. We get bottles of perfume when we sell certain lines. Like if you sell a lot of Coty Fragrances, which is the paRent company over Calvin Klein, Chloe, and Marc Jacobs, you receive bottles of fragrance as gifts from those lines. Though you generally don’t get to pick what you receive. I have euphoria and endless euphoria, and I just received forbidden. Forbidden is not as good. It hits you with wild berries and tropical fruit at first. My thinking was it was plum and some type of melon. It never really settles to the dry-down. It disappears too fast. And I do have oily skin and that doesn’t seem to help me. If the perfume is not of good quality, it disappears within an hour on me. It has patchouli, which if blended well into the base of a fragrance I find very pleasing but I can’t detect ANY spice in this one. Just wine-boozy berries and other red fruits. And exotic, red flowers. It’s not horrible or anything. And frankly, I think it will be a scent I can mix with others in my repertoire(ones that have no florals)to create something New. It is very simplstic, which makes it perfect for that. You CAN mix fragrances and achieve something pretty. Trial and error is what fragrance is all about. And I think this straightforward fruity, fruity floral will be good for just that. I wouldn’t want to pass it aLong to anybody anyway. I hate to give bad reviews. Because fragrance is so subjective, but I don’t th ink this mismatch is one of bad chemistry…its just an overly simple tropical red fruity perfume, which was released without nearly as much thought or depth, on its predecessor, Ck Euphoria.
kotenkovn – :
I adore euphoria by CK,I use it for 5 years.this year I decided to buy smth from its new line.My choice was Forbidden Euphoria.It is in the style of Euphoria:similar strength,deep fruit notes, but it is not that nouble as Euphoria. Fruity notes make it more couture and girly.Nevertheless I like it and wear this perfume in the evenings, of course in autumn evenings,it is good on clothes and white furs
Revik32 – :
Unfortunately this one seems to have taken a nose dive in Australia, it is always on special they can’t get rid of it and it was too strange for the younger consumers to like it compared to all the celeb perfumes on offer.
So I tested it a few times and loved it. It reminded me of a muskier version of Guess Girl because of the vague sugared sweetness. I loved it each time I tested it. I finally purchased a bottle but it just would not last on me. I suspect it is my skin as I do not have oily skin so perfume just vanishes on me. I purchased the body lotion and now it smells all day but it does get into my clothing which is annoying I am not keen on body lotions for that reason.
I am a little unsure about it at times. It smells as though it has cinnamon in it or something slightly annoying which persists and keeps mixing with the sweetness which I think is what can turn some people off it. It is almost as though it doesn’t know what it wants to be. However, I keep going back to it and I am also not sure why so I will have to figure it out!! Can’t leave these things unsorted!!:)
I find with Jennifer Lopez LA Glow the same annoying cinnamon type note kept popping up for me but that is another one I keep wearing even though I can’t work out what to make of it. I suppose small things amuse small minds:)
I like layering the Forbidden Euphoria body lotion with LA Glow and even Beyonce’s Midnight heat. They seem to blend together and make it more interesting or more puzzling for me one of the two.
I find Nina Ricci’s, Ricci Ricci also annoys me some days and not on other days due to the sweetness mixed with the rhubarb it can just be a strange mixture at times not entirely pleasant.
I am not sorry I purchased this I will keep trying it out on different occasions to see what happens. that is the fun of perfume you can try all sorts of things. I do feel sorry for people around me, it must be like a nuclear bomb of sugar and patchouli has been detonated when I am around:)
karraban – :
I enjoy this scent very much. I just wished it had better longevity and bigger sillage. I have to reapply too often.
lenty1 – :
Slightly sweet floral fruity perfume. Quite average in my opinion. Average slight soapyness.
There’s nothing bad or annoying about it, but it’s just too plain and simple. So I wouldn’t mind other people wearing it, but wouldn’t wear it or buy it myself.
зелёный – :
I agree 100% with princesszaida. Sickly, vulgar, cheap are words that come to mind.
When someone wearing it gets into the train I have to change seats to get away from it: it actually makes me nauseous. I don’t usually have very strong ‘dislike’ reactions to perfumes – I either love them or am indifferent – but I really, really do not like this one.
kovalev_petr – :
je suis une adulte de 33 ans et je porte ce parfum qui est mon préféré et quand je vois des commentaires disant que c’est un parfum pour ados je ne suis pas du tout d’accord c’est n’importe quoi en plus j’ai toujours des compliments quand je le porte et on ne m’a jamais dis que je mettais un parfum pour ados
Gigatt734 – :
A promising name as if this was something only adults were allowed to enjoy. Alas, this is perhaps the most inappropriate perfume title ever, as the scent as such reminds one of ice-cream. More for children who play grown-ups than for grown-ups who plan to produce children. This is as feminine and sexy as strawberry ice-cream and disappears just as quickly.

Велимир – :
Sweet Euphoria with the same excellent length as the original, I could say the Summer Euphoria. Reminds a lot of flowerbomb, Jimmy Choo and Lady Million. An airy sweet spicy perfume, not heady at all. I could wear it during my summer holidays without turning bitter. Happy indeed with my choise.
mak1984 – :
This is totally different from the original Euphoria, and not in a good way. It is much sweeter (too much) and less complex than the original. It’s like being whacked over the head with a floral lollipop. I can’t imagine anyone over the age of 20 wearing this. I got it for free, and gave it away!
madonna – :
it is very fruity and just a tad floral. It is a bit woody and spicy which makes it sexy even though it is fruity and sweet. It is hard to find a fruity perfume that is also deep, sophisticated and sexy but Forbidden Euphoria is all that. I really, really like it!
ofi307JeomiWogkig – :
parfum sexy,fruité,gourmand bref je l’aime!!!!!!! ♥
Hamelion 375 – :
Here is written wrong notes. Real notes are:
Top Notes: sparkling mandarin, passion fruit and touches of iced raspberry
Middle Notes: a hypnotic bouquet of tiger orchid and jasmine
Base Notes: addictive patchouli with sophisticated musks and cashmere woods

Je suis bien d’accord avec toi je ne vois pas pourquoi beaucoup de monde dit que forbidden euphoria est pour les ados ou pour les filles de 20 ans . J’ai 33 ans et c’est mon parfum préféré et je ne vois pas pourquoi tel ou tel parfum soit pour les jeunes filles ou les femmes plus âgées ,moi je dis qu’il n’y a pas d’âge pour porter un parfum du moment qu’on l’aime et qu’on a eu le coup de foudre pour un parfum c’est le principal et à 40 ans tu as bien raison de le porter si c’est ton parfum préféré 😉
GurVit163 – :
This is my signature…I tried lots of perfumes and I keep coming back to this one. I really don’t agree when I hear it is for 20 year olds..I am 40, please don’t condemn us to wearing only powdery-musky-strong-old-lady stuff 😉 I can’t imagine a young woman wearing this, it is too sensual and sexy!
Mon préféré et j’ai l’impression qu’il le sera pour longtemps. Sur moi je sens tout de suite l’orange, la framboise. Ensuite viennent les fleurs dont l’orchidée que j’adore. Ensuite, le patchouli et le bois.
Divine!
aleline – :
Ceci est mon parfum préféré.J’adore car il est sucré mais pas écoeurant en plus l’odeur de la framboise ressort bien sur ma peau,un parfum fruité ,sucré comme je les aime en plus il a une bonne tenue de 6 heures sur moi et je ne trouve pas que ce soit spécialement un parfum pour les ados ou les jeunes filles de 20 ans comme j’ai pu le lire.En plus quand je le porte ce parfum je n’ai que des compliments !
kostyamberdj – :
Dominating and assertive in the way that you are when you’re 18 and think you know everything. I imagine this on club-goers fresh out of high school or raver kids. The juicy fruit-patchouli combination gives that vibe, like the wearer is looking to pick up elicit substances. The scent is “explosive.” Some fragrances are decadent but this one just does not give a f***.
One of the other reviewers compared this to Hot Couture. This is a younger version–sweeter, less peppery, patchouli-dominant and doesn’t seem like it’d pair well with any non-neon clothing.
Not work appropriate. Made for the 23 and younger crowd.
J0Y007 – :
There is something sharp and biting in the opening, maybe the Patchouli. But after that it’s very nice. Fruity, a little floral, but also seductive and mysterious. Not really an office perfume, it’s a little more risqué.
Skikakavaiste – :
euphoria blossom smells ten times better then this, its somewhat nauseating to me i don’t know the mix in this fragrance is just not for me it smells pretty awful for me.
Gobs87 – :
this one blind buy for me..and absolutely i dont like it. I smell like huge fruit plate..very long lastin but this fruity notes!! i felt sick after using this one..
But my older sister loves it couse she love fruity notes
cfc601Unlogrere – :
I use the original Euphoria and love it (only during the winter). Unfortunately The original doesn’t last long on me and in the summer it smells like nothing but a light powder. So while I was in Florida on vacation I decided to try this on one wrist and the original on the other. This was amazing! Even smelt better than the original (at the time).
However, several months later, in colder weather I did the same test and the original Euphoria was much better.
My theory is that during the warmer months Forbidden Euphoria is the equivalent sexy summer version of the Original. And in cooler months the original is the better choice to wear.
I will give Forbidden another test when it gets warmer because I still want to smell like Euphoria during warmer months.

I bought this blind with recommendation, I got the edp. I still believe it was a very good recommendation based on my likes. I want to love this!! I love the opening blast of fruity flowery mystery ….getting tangy whiffs of citrus and berry with a dark warm base. Heavenly! However, it turned into smelling just like TM Angel on me! I was so sad because all that comes out on me is the patchouli…I got a nauseous headache and my husband asked why it smelled like hippies (he is not very PC lol). I would say the edp isn’t light, it is deep, mysterious, come here for a kiss but I might bite your earlobe ….I’m. Giving it to my friend who loves patchouli….overall I really appreciate this frag but can’t wear it…encourage you to try it on your skin if you like fruitchouli frags, it’s a really gorgeous one on the right skin!

Oh, this is a dream in a bottle, and the bottle is a dream itself as well. In fact, I love EVERYTHING about this perfume – the appropriately seductive commercial, the name that suits so well, the beautiful deep pink/purple colours of the packaging that I truly associate the perfume with and, of course, above it all – the potion itself. Yes, this is the one perfume that I would hold on if I could only keep one. It is fruity floraly musky with raspberries, patchouli and peach blossom, with musky and woody undertones. It is my perfect combination of sweetness, muskiness, deepness and lightness. It is my perfect combination of sensuality, youthfulness, confidence, comfort, sexyness, exclusivity. Exclusive, yes, I can definitely see why it is called Forbidden. It can seem very sweet and playful at first, but it can easily draw you in, make you lose your mind and fall in love and never ever let go of the thought of having it forever. But you cannot. Regardless of the amazing staying power and great sillage, it stays as it should – as a dream. It is really too good to be true, just as every woman who wears it with passion.

I liked it instantly. Forbidden Euphoria is a very good version of the original. It may be sweeter than Euphoria, but the zesty tangerine note makes it easier to pull off. While Euphoria is a good winter frag, Forbidden Euphoria is more appropriate for all year round use. It’s lighter, juicier, muskier than the original, albeit has an unmistakably familiar character. Forbidden Euphoria still has that famous masculine (woody) note of Euphoria.
I envy all of you who own it.

Fruit pies baking, sizzling french sauces, heady aromas in the kitchen making my head spin. Now this Euphoria is really, really good. Surprisedly good. I just wasn’t expecting a fragrance from today’s stock to make me sit back and really appreciate the delightful aromas. Or to put me in another place. But
