Forbidden Fruit by Skylar is the newest release from the clean, California-inspired fragrance brand’s Scent Club, and it's described as "fruity, juicy and unapologetically sweet." This eau de parfum opens with a mouthwatering burst of sweet lychee and raspberry leaves touched by the delicate, rice-powdered softness of sakura mochi, instantly evoking a dreamy, Asian-inspired confection. The heart of Forbidden Fruit blooms into a romantic garden of dewy violets and pink rose petals sweetened with cane sugar, creating an innocent yet irresistibly feminine floral embrace. As it settles, liquid vanilla merges with sensual woods and warm amber to wrap the skin in a cozy, comforting, golden glow.
This limited-edition rollerball is exclusive to Skylar Scent Club members, who are treated to small-batch, never-mass-produced perfumes monthly with a subscription.
