Forbidden Fruit by Aromatix x French Avenue Review: Notes, Profile & Where to Buy

Forbidden Fruit by Aromatix x French Avenue is one of MAPERFUME's best-selling fragrances, and once you see the note breakdown it's easy to understand why. Here's the full scent profile, the dupe conversation around it (if there is one), and where to buy it.

Forbidden Fruit — Notes & Scent Profile

  • Top Notes: Blood Orange, Bergamot
  • Middle Notes: Peach, Rose
  • Base Notes: Amber, Vanilla, Cedarwood

A sweet, juicy fruity-gourmand unisex fragrance — a blood-orange-and-bergamot opening, a peachy floral heart, and a warm amber-vanilla-woody trail. A fun, sweet fragrance with moderate-to-strong longevity, well suited to date-night wear.

Note: retailer sources gave inconsistent full pyramids for this one — the notes above reflect the details that corroborate across independent sources; treat any longer note list you see elsewhere with some caution.

Is Forbidden Fruit a Dupe?

Some reviewers compare Forbidden Fruit to Lorenzo Pazzaglia Sun-Gria (2024), though the comparison isn't as universally repeated as some of the other dupes on this list — treat it as a directional similarity rather than a confirmed clone.

Performance & Best For

As a 100ml Extrait de Parfum, this is built for real wear, not just a light spritz.

Best for: Anyone who wants a fun, juicy, conversation-starting fruity scent for evenings out.
