Forbidden Apple Croque Moi by Chris Collins
Launch Year: 2025
Perfumer: Alexis Grugeon
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Fragrance Profile:
Forbidden Apple Croque Moi is a seductive fruity gourmand inspired by temptation and the irresistible allure of the forbidden fruit. It opens with juicy red apple, pink pepper, brown sugar, and strawberry blossom, creating a crisp yet candied sweetness. The heart becomes warmer and more intoxicating as cinnamon and fenugreek mingle with tart pomegranate pulp and white rum. In the dry down, Bourbon vanilla absolute brings deep, creamy sweetness, contrasted by aromatic fir balsam and earthy Haitian vetiver. The result is a rich apple gourmand that balances fruit, spice, booze, vanilla, and woods without losing the vivid character of freshly bitten red apple.
Performance:
Strong and long-lasting, with an immediately noticeable fruity-gourmand presence. Apple, strawberry, and brown sugar dominate the opening before cinnamon and rum introduce warmth and depth. The dry down becomes smoother and more enveloping as Bourbon vanilla, fir balsam, and Haitian vetiver take over.
Ideal For:
Perfect for fall and winter, evenings, date nights, and anyone drawn to sophisticated fruity gourmands. An excellent choice for lovers of red apple, vanilla, cinnamon, rum, and sweet fragrances that retain a contrasting woody and aromatic edge.
