Ordered in the morning, it arrived that evening. I chose Forbidden because I’d tried the decant first — the scent holds for two days.
Luxurious, sensual, grown-up. Perfect for the evening.
Well-packed, and it smells amazing. It’s become a favourite. Love it.
Forbidden is a silent pull toward something you were never meant to touch. It's not an act of rebellion, but a surrender to desire — a feeling that stirred long before it found its name.
It begins with the sweetness of ripe peach and the luxury of saffron — bright, almost innocent. But beneath it lies something deeper: rich wood, soft resin, and a smoky warmth that feels intimate, provocative, and a little dangerous.
This is for those who live in the space in between. Who understand that what lies outside the lines often holds the greatest allure. Forbidden doesn't break the rules — it questions why they existed in the first place.
“Not everything forbidden is wrong.”
Saffron is the world's most expensive spice, and here it's no mere accent — it's the heart of the composition. Olibanum (frankincense) at the base adds a resinous, smoky layer, the kind of warmth usually only found in high-end niche perfumery.
If you want to understand how the fragrance pyramid works, we cover it in our article on fragrance notes: top, middle, and base.
At its best in the evening, or in an air-conditioned room, when the warmth of saffron and resin can truly come through. Because it's so rich, one or two sprays are more than enough.
Forbidden isn't for everyone — and that's exactly where its appeal lies. These three types will recognize themselves in it:
Lives for the night — events and clubbing — with a true statement scent.
Likes to stand out and dares to be different; rejects scents that feel "safe".
A bold, intimate allure, for dramatic moments.
At SEDUCE, fragrance is the language of intimacy. Every scent is crafted not just to be worn, but to be remembered. Our compositions evolve on your skin, following the natural rhythm of your emotions and your moment. This isn't mass-produced perfume — it's personal alchemy.
We believe in the power of quiet over noise, impact over excess, and an authentic presence that doesn't demand attention yet captivates on its own.
Every variant is released with intent. Five scents, five stories — not an endless catalog.
Designed for energy, not gender. The whole collection is unisex.
A balanced composition that unfolds in stages, leaving an intimate, elegant trace.
SEDUCE Forbidden is formulated as an extrait de parfum, with 30% fragrance oil content. For comparison, eau de parfum is typically 15–20%, and eau de toilette 5–15%.
The effect is real: the scent evaporates more slowly and lasts longer — an advantage that's especially felt in Indonesia's hot, humid tropical climate. Because it's so concentrated, its alcohol content is also lower than lighter-concentration perfumes.
One honest note: a lower alcohol content doesn't mean alcohol-free, nor a guarantee against reactions. If your skin tends to be sensitive, do a small trial (patch test) first — we cover this in our article on perfume that's safe for sensitive skin.
Because it's so concentrated, the rule is simple: one to two sprays are enough for the whole day.

The entire SEDUCE collection, including Forbidden, is unisex — designed for energy, not gender. Forbidden's character (Woody · Spicy · Floral) can be worn by anyone.
Forbidden has a Woody · Spicy · Floral character. It opens with top notes of Green Notes, Pink Pepper, and Peach, develops into a heart of Saffron, Rose, and Violet, then settles into base notes of Woody Ambery, Olibanum, and Cedarwood.
SEDUCE Forbidden is BPOM-registered and halal-certified. As an extrait de parfum, its alcohol content is lower than lighter-concentration perfumes — but that doesn't mean alcohol-free, nor a guarantee against reactions. If your skin tends to be sensitive, do a small patch test first.
