Pleasant Flower Scent
I like that this scent is subtle and not overpowering. It has a nice flowery scent, and it doesn’t bother my asthma. I usually do not select perfumes that smell like roses, but I really liked this one.

Not what I like
It smells unique. Like a dried fig you find at grocery store and it stays like that, it also didn't last probably only 3-4hrs.

Not a luxury scent
This fragrance does not smell like a rose in any way. I can’t even clearly describe the scent, but it was shockingly unpleasant from the moment I sprayed it. Instead of anything floral or elegant, it came across harsh, chemical, and almost sour. It was so vile that I had to wash it off immediately, and even then it lingered longer than I wanted. I expected a true rose scent or at least something soft and romantic, especially from a luxury brand, but this was completely unwearable for me. Very disappointing.

Quality
So excited to receive this little lovely from Influenster and Lancome, the new perfume Forbidden Rose; it's got an excellent quality aroma of rose flower and some sort of sweetness to it. It's strong enough to stay around all day but not overwhelming which is something I cannot have with my perfumes. I overall would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a flowery smell to last them throughout the day.

Light and longing scent!
So I am not a fan of super strong perfume smells but I loved this one. It was sweet and reminded of smelling roses at my in laws garden. My mom complemented me and she’s obsessed with perfumes.

It’s okay
It doesn’t smell bad…it’s just not my kind of scent. It does linger without being overwhelming. If you like fruity floral, this might be a good choice for you

Floral sent, last a long time and isn’t too over powering! Does to leave any residue feel and a little goes a long way. It’s nice and simple. Recommend

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.
