Comparison: Kilian - Angels' Share
Couldn't load pickup availability
Forbidden by Arabiyat Prestige shares the boozy-sweet character of Angels' Share by Kilian through cognac and warm fruit. Forbidden trades much of the cinnamon-spice effect for brighter cooked apple and candied sugar. Cedar and tonka keep the finish grounded, making it sweeter and fruitier than Angels' Share.
Top: cognac, apple
Middle: candied fruits, cedarwood
Base: sugar, tonka bean
Cognac hits first with the smell of glossy red apple dipped in hot sugar. The fruit gets more candied through the middle, then cedar cuts a dry line beneath the sweetness before tonka smooths the finish.
Forbidden puts out a sweet boozy apple cloud early, then settles into a smoother candied-fruit and tonka trail. It has enough staying power for a long evening, with the strongest impact in the first part of the wear.
Holiday gatherings, dinner dates, cocktail bars and cold-weather nights are the obvious places for this sweet cognac-and-apple profile. Fall and winter suit it best after sunset, and the candied fruit gives it a slight feminine tilt even though the woody boozy structure stays unisex.
