Dark oud and delicate rose — a fateful union, born against every rule.

Rose wrapped in a discreet veil of oud and papyrus. Forbidden Love draws its inspiration from the fateful love of Romeo and Juliet — the force of a longing that ignores every prohibition and never gives up.
It all starts with bergamot and chamomile — fleeting, before you even notice. Then the Bulgarian rose rises: fresh, peppery, real, far from the sweetish smell of rose water. After the first hour, guaiac wood and oud take over the base — dry, smoky, irreversible. Papyrus brings the feeling of a letter that came too late, of old paper and warm stone. The rose stays until the very end, but paler now, wrapped in smoke.
Floral-woody, unisex. Longevity: 6–8 hours on skin, 24+ hours on clothes. Projection: moderate — noticeable at arm's length, not across the room. 2–3 sprays are enough. Wear it all year round; it's at its best in the evening and in the cold months, when the oud and papyrus come out fuller.
Delivery within 1–2 business days in Bulgaria, with tracking. Returns within 30 days of receipt.
Свежа, зелена българска роза, която постепенно потъмнява: гуаяковото дърво внася дим, а удът и папирусът я завършват сухо и дълбоко.
TopThe bergamot opens clean and citrusy, but the chamomile immediately tames its sharpness with a soft, herbal feel of apple and hay. The rose is there from the first minute: not sweetish, but fresh, green and peppery — exactly how a real flower smells in the early morning. This is the balcony at the start of the story, where everything is still possible.
HeartAfter half an hour the hedione opens up the rose, making it ethereal, airy and transparent, far from heavy perfume clichés. Almost at once the guaiac wood breaks through beneath it: dry, resinous and with a delicate hint of smoke. At this point the scent takes a sharp turn from floral to woody. This is the moment when the secret is out and someone won't keep quiet.
BaseAfter the second hour the oud takes over the base completely — dry, deep and smoky, without the heavy animalic sharpness of traditional Arabian perfumes. The papyrus adds a refined, dusty note of old paper and sun-warmed stone. The rose is still here, but paler now and wrapped in smoke. From here on there is no going back.
Forbidden Love stays in maceration for eight weeks after blending. During that time the individual materials bind into one composition, before the perfume is filtered and bottled.

The same ones we give over the phone — not the marketing ones.
The scent is built entirely on “Romeo and Juliet”. The two sides of the composition are the two families: the Bulgarian rose — light, alive, floral — and the oud with the guaiac wood, which are dry, smoky and dark. In perfumery, rose and oud are considered a difficult pair. That is exactly why we brought them together. The papyrus in the base is the letter that doesn't arrive in time.
Yes — Rosa damascena from the Rose Valley between Kazanlak and Karlovo. This is not a marketing detail: Bulgarian rose oil is a raw material that the big houses buy from the same region, because there is no substitute with the same profile. The rest of the composition is blended and bottled in Italy.
Unisex, and that's not the polite version of the answer. The rose on top is fresh and peppery, not sweet, and the base of oud, guaiac wood and papyrus is dry and smoky — it pulls the scent far away from a “feminine rose perfume”. On a man's skin it comes out smokier, on a woman's — more floral.
6–8 hours on skin, 24+ hours on clothes. The projection is moderate — you're noticeable at arm's length, not across the whole office. 2–3 sprays on a pulse point are enough for the day; six “just in case” will do the opposite of what you want.
In Italy, in a batch of 200 bottles, with eight weeks of maceration and 23% essence. The rose oil is Bulgarian, from the Rose Valley.
The formula is alcohol-based, as with most perfumes. If you react to most colognes or EDTs, you will most likely react to this one too. Test first on the inside of your arm for 24 hours. Not tested on animals. Contains no phthalates.
