Forbidden Plum by Fragrance du Bois is a decadent fruity-floral fragrance from the prestigious Oud Extrait Collection. Created by perfumer Dalia Izem, this luxurious composition combines luscious plum, warm cloves, creamy tuberose, indulgent whipped cream, and a sophisticated foundation of sandalwood and oud. Rich, mysterious, and beautifully layered, Forbidden Plum explores the seductive contrast between dark fruit sweetness and elegant woody depth.

The fragrance opens with a captivating plum accord accented by spicy cloves and sparkling Italian bergamot. As the composition develops, opulent Indian tuberose emerges alongside smooth whipped cream and a warm rum accord, creating a distinctive combination of creamy florals and boozy sweetness. The drydown introduces a refined oud accord, Australian sandalwood, Indonesian patchouli, and soft musk-like nuances for an enveloping finish.

Experience this remarkable fragrance with an authentic Fragrance du Bois Forbidden Plum sample from Bluegrass Fragrance Company. Our carefully hand-filled Forbidden Plum travel-size decants offer an accessible way to discover this luxurious composition before investing in a full bottle, or to enjoy your favorite fragrance in a convenient portable atomizer.

What Does Forbidden Plum Smell Like?

Forbidden Plum smells like a luxurious combination of dark, juicy plum, creamy white florals, warm rum, and sophisticated woods. Its opening emphasizes the rich sweetness of ripe plum, balanced by a touch of aromatic spice and fresh bergamot.

As the fragrance develops, tuberose introduces an elegant floral dimension while whipped cream adds a soft, almost dessert-like smoothness. The rum accord provides a warm, indulgent character that complements the fruit without turning the fragrance into a purely gourmand composition.

In the drydown, oud, sandalwood, and patchouli create a deeper, more sensual foundation. The creamy woods and soft musky qualities help balance the sweetness, leaving a sophisticated impression.

The overall experience is fruity, creamy, floral, subtly boozy, warm, and woody. Forbidden Plum offers a distinctive interpretation of plum that feels more mysterious and opulent than a conventional fresh fruit fragrance.

It is especially appealing to fragrance enthusiasts who enjoy dark fruit compositions, luxurious florals, and smooth woody bases.

Performance and Best Occasions

Forbidden Plum combines the richness of plum and rum with the creamy floral character of tuberose and a sophisticated oud-based foundation. Its luxurious scent profile makes it particularly attractive for occasions when a distinctive, memorable fragrance is desired.

When to Wear Forbidden Plum

  • Evenings and Date Nights: The rich plum, creamy florals, and warm woods create an alluring atmosphere.
  • Fall and Winter: Its fruity sweetness, spices, and woody foundation are especially inviting in cooler weather.
  • Special Occasions: The unusual combination of tuberose, rum, and oud makes an elegant statement.
  • Spring Evenings: The floral heart can complement milder temperatures and evening gatherings.
  • Everyday Luxury: Those who enjoy rich fruity fragrances may appreciate a lighter application for daytime wear.

Longevity, projection, and sillage depend on individual skin chemistry, application, temperature, and environment. Sampling Forbidden Plum on your own skin is the best way to evaluate its development and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these authentic Fragrance du Bois Forbidden Plum samples?

Yes. Our Forbidden Plum samples are independently decanted from authentic original Fragrance du Bois bottles. They are not replicas, inspired-by fragrances, or manufacturer-packaged samples.

What is a fragrance decant?

A fragrance decant is a smaller quantity of authentic perfume carefully transferred from its original bottle into a separate atomizer. Decants allow you to experience luxury fragrances without purchasing a full-sized bottle.

Is Forbidden Plum diluted?

No. Our Forbidden Plum decants contain the original fragrance without intentional dilution, reformulation, or alteration.

Is the original Fragrance du Bois bottle included?

No. Your order includes the selected amount of authentic Forbidden Plum in a glass atomizer supplied by Bluegrass Fragrance Company. The original Fragrance du Bois bottle and branded packaging are not included.

Is Forbidden Plum a sweet fragrance?

Yes. Forbidden Plum features noticeable sweetness from its plum and whipped cream accords. However, cloves, tuberose, rum, sandalwood, and oud provide additional complexity that balances its fruity and creamy character.

Does Forbidden Plum smell strongly of oud?

Forbidden Plum incorporates an oud accord as part of its woody foundation. The fragrance emphasizes a balance between dark plum, creamy florals, and warm woods rather than focusing exclusively on oud. Individual perception of the oud accord may vary.

Is Forbidden Plum a gourmand fragrance?

Forbidden Plum contains gourmand-like elements, particularly its whipped cream, plum, and rum accords. However, Fragrance du Bois officially classifies it as a fruity-floral fragrance. Its tuberose and woody base distinguish it from a traditional dessert-focused gourmand scent.

Is Forbidden Plum a men's or women's fragrance?

Forbidden Plum can be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates rich fruity-floral compositions. Its combination of plum, creamy tuberose, warm spices, and oud makes personal scent preference more important than traditional gender categories.

How does Forbidden Plum compare to other plum fragrances?

Forbidden Plum distinguishes itself through the combination of a dark plum accord with opulent tuberose, whipped cream, rum, and oud. Rather than presenting plum as a simple fresh fruit note, it surrounds the fruit with creamy florals and warm woody depth.

Is Forbidden Plum suitable for summer?

Forbidden Plum can be enjoyed year-round, although its rich fruit sweetness, creamy florals, and warm woody base may feel particularly suited to cooler weather or summer evenings. A lighter application may be preferable in high heat.

Is Forbidden Plum suitable for travel?

Yes. Our smaller glass atomizers offer a convenient way to carry Forbidden Plum while traveling or during everyday activities. For air travel, follow applicable airline and airport liquid restrictions.

Why purchase a Forbidden Plum travel spray instead of a full bottle?

A travel-size decant allows you to enjoy authentic Forbidden Plum with a smaller initial purchase. It is especially useful for testing the fragrance, exploring niche perfumery, or carrying a favorite scent without transporting a full-sized bottle.

Fragrance Care & Warm-Weather Delivery

Fragrance—whether in a decant, travel spray, or full bottle—is best experienced and stored at room temperature.

If your fragrance arrives warm:

  • Bring the package inside as soon as possible.
  • Allow the fragrance to return to room temperature for several hours, or overnight, before spraying.
  • Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Do not refrigerate or freeze it.

A fragrance exposed to warm transit conditions may smell slightly different while it is still warm. Once it has cooled and rested, it should smell and perform as intended. For the vast majority of shipments, temporary warmth during delivery is not a cause for concern.

Every fragrance is carefully inspected and packaged before shipment.
