Product details

Web ID: 22497823

During the hottest summer nights, the rose succumbs to the seductive nature of the fig. One that has almost rid its fresh greenness, unveiling an emotional ripeness. The rose is dazed by the sweet forbidden. With a rebellious spirit, she ventures beyond boundaries. Willing to take risks for her own desires. Fabrice Pellegrin: "I wanted to reveal the freshness and natural beauty of the rose. The elegance of the rose is adorned with a gourmand and vegetal facet through fig compote." Lancôme's perfumers liberated their work from the classical olfactive pyramid and invented a new way of constructing a scent, the halo construction. Crafting the rose as the very heart of an olfactive symphony. Encapsulated in the most luxurious bottle.

Smells like old herbs.

I really do not like the smell of this. It smells like old fresh dill and black pepper. I was expecting it to smell like roses, but it does not. I would not buy on my own and would not have it in my collection unless it was sent to me.

Upgrading after receiving a sample of Lancôme Forb

The Lancôme Absolue Forbidden Rose is a premium Eau de Parfum crafted with high-quality Centifolia Rose and Rose Damascena, resulting in a multifaceted floral scent with green, herbaceous, and slightly fruity undertones. Unlike traditional heavy florals, this fragrance features a “halo” construction that blends fig accord and musk for a modern, luminous finish. The long durability of the scent that remains noticeable for hours on the skin. I received a sample of the perfume but moving to the full size is such a treat because the architectural glass bottle is impressively weighted and substantial, featuring a gorgeous etched rose at the base that truly reflects the artisanal quality of the scent inside.

Smells exactly like rosewater

I did not like the scent. It smells only of roses. It seems like I am using rose water. Even though the perfume says rose, I expected some other scent notes.

Nice Rose Perfume

The smell of this perfume was very nice. I usually shy away from anything rose scented, as it usually smells like an elderly woman. This was different. I would describe it as a fresh rose scent. I am deducting a star because of the staying power; it didn’t last a full day on me.

Warm, feminine, and luxe

I received Lancôme La Vie Est Belle L’Absolu complimentary from Influenster, and it’s such a beautiful scent. It’s warm, elegant, and slightly sweet with a deeper, more intense feel than the original. A little goes a long way, and it lasts for hours on my skin. The travel spray is perfect for on-the-go and feels very luxe. This is a great fragrance if you love sophisticated, feminine perfumes that aren’t overpowering.

So good

Lancôme Idôle Aura Forbidden Rose is such a beautiful, modern rose fragrance. It opens with a bright, fresh floral that feels feminine without being overpowering. The rose is soft and slightly sweet, blended perfectly with warm vanilla and subtle woody notes that give it depth and elegance. What I love most is how wearable it is — it’s light enough for daytime but still romantic enough for evening. The longevity is impressive, lasting for hours without needing to reapply, and it leaves a soft, classy trail that gets compliments. Overall, Forbidden Rose feels luxurious, confident, and effortlessly chic. If you love rose scents that are fresh yet warm and sophisticated, this one is definitely worth trying.
