Fragrance Du Bois Forbidden Plum

Product Overview

Forbidden Plum by Fragrance Du Bois is a perfume extract from the house’s Oud Extrait collection, a collection dedicated to one of perfumery’s most precious and enduring materials.

Created by perfumer Dalia Izem, Forbidden Plum explores a darker, more decadent side of fruit through the contrast of luscious plum, opulent florals and velvety woods. The composition brings an indulgent gourmand quality to the richness traditionally associated with oud, resulting in a fragrance that feels luxurious, sensual and deliberately tempting.

Rich and enveloping, Forbidden Plum is a contemporary expression of Fragrance Du Bois’ oud heritage, where indulgent ingredients meet the depth and refinement of fine woods.

What Does Forbidden Plum Smell Like?

Forbidden Plum opens with a rich plum accord, brightened by Italian bergamot and warmed by aromatic clove. The plum feels dark, ripe and succulent, while the spice gives the fruit a deeper, more seductive character.

As it develops, Indian tuberose introduces a creamy white floral richness. Whipped cream accord amplifies that velvety texture with a soft gourmand sweetness, while rum adds a warm, boozy dimension.

In the dry down, oud accord brings deep woody warmth, complemented by the smooth creaminess of Australian sandalwood. Indonesian patchouli adds an earthy richness that grounds the sweeter fruit and cream notes. The result is a dark fruity gourmand with creamy florals, boozy warmth and a luxurious woody base.
