Chris Collins Forbidden Apple – Decant

Forbidden Apple is a decadent temptation—juicy, spiced, boozy, and deliciously warm. It takes the familiar sweetness of ripe fruit and twists it into something richer and more seductive, balancing candied indulgence with aromatic spice, dark liquor, and earthy woods.

The opening is mouthwatering, with crisp red fruit coated in a veil of caramelized sweetness. Lush berry tones add a bright, jammy quality, while a flicker of peppery spice cuts through the sugar and gives the fragrance an enticing spark.

As it develops, Forbidden Apple becomes deeper and more intoxicating. A generous splash of liquor brings warmth to the heart, mingling with spicy, tart, and subtly aromatic nuances. The effect suggests fruit steeped in rum and spices—rich and gourmand without losing its sophisticated edge.

The drydown melts into a sumptuous layer of creamy sweetness. Luxurious vanilla creates a smooth, addictive warmth, contrasted by earthy vetiver and the crisp, resinous character of fir. These darker green and woody facets keep the composition grounded, leaving a trail that is sweet yet mysterious, comforting yet undeniably provocative.

Forbidden Apple is temptation bottled—a forbidden treat of sugared fruit, spiced rum, and velvety vanilla with just enough darkness beneath the sweetness to make you reach for another taste.
